Post If You Want Help

There are many people on both RennList and the Owners Club lists who are both willing and able to help you with your 928 problems. If you want help, there are some things that you can do to ensure that you get it.


Rule number one - Always, in every message, tell us what year your 928 is.


Rule number two - Never assume that we will remember you, your car or your problem. We all get a LOT of messages, and I can assure you that we aren't likely to remember that you asked us for help last week. The easy way is to simply include the earlier correspondence in every message.


Rule number three - The more you tell us, the better the chances are that we can guess what your problem is.


Rule number four - What you get is a guess. Sometimes, it is a guess backed up by hard-won experience, but it is still a guess. Long-distance diagnosis is uncertain at best. No one on this list accepts any liability for trying to help you.


Rule number five - It is nice if you tell us what happens. Did our guess help solve the problem? Did you learn something new that the list needs to know? This is a community effort, and feedback increases the knowledge base.


Rule number six - If you are unhappy with the results that you get, we will happily refund every cent that you paid for our advice.

Ya know Wally, if we can condense that a little bit, it would make a great T-shirt at the Frenzy

Actually, I think Wally should put that as his signature after every message! LOL!

seems some people can't figure out that if you put your car info in your signature, then it's always there and you don't have to try and remember to type it every time...

Wally,
I always thought that your description of the guy that had a starting problem was a classic.

"I go out and get into my car in the morning and 15 minutes later, the time that it normally takes to drive to work, I am still in my driveway. What is wrong?

Wally,

maybe you should ask John D. to make this thread one of the permanent Admin: postings at the top of the page?

I've asked Wally previously to post these gems in the 'Attention New (and not so new) 928 Owners' topic, but he remains a rebel at heart.

Perhaps post in both places Wally baby?
