Battery Charge Holder
Can I use the battery charger I had for a 996 in my 964?
The device you plug in the cigarette lighter on one end and in a power outlet on the other end.
Thanks

<NEVER MIND I FOUND THE ANSWER - THE PROBLEM IS THE STRAIN ON THE BOLTS> Pulled my engine yesterday, I have an engine stand that doesn't have the special Porsche/VW yoke. I know I can mount it without the special yoke but I heard that it could be unsafe...anyone know if that is true?

You should be able to if the cigarette lighter is wired up like the one in my 89. There is power (i.e., connection to battery) all the time at the lighter.

I wasn't sure about voltage and being able to have the current go both ways (if that makes sense).
Thanks!

As long as the charger provides a higher voltage than the sitting battery (and it should) the current will flow and the battery will charge.

Only other option is aluminum which will weigh 1/3 more than the magnesium units. If kept free from paint chips the magnesium will last indefinitely

I've saved quite a few threads on this. But just to confirm.
To change the gasket on the timing chain on the passenger side, I could do this without dropping the engine, just by removing the bumper, exhaust, and maybe distributor?
My driver side has gotten more leaky; before was just wet but now drips on the garage. Passenger side seems ok.

Sunroof Rattle
My car is tight as a drum and has been up until I needed a sunroof seal. The shop replaced the seals (F&R) and gave me a nice intermittent vibration; not when cold only warmed up and only at low revs.
The seals failed and we replaced them again with me paying parts only. They failed again so ditto. They failed again, so I am now at about $750 for parts and labor and got a nasty vibration that drives me crazy.
The shop tells me the roof was out, all rails checked, all parts lubed, all tools accounted for but the vibration persists.
Other than getting a new shop (working on it), anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
