welcome to RL

you have (1) AOS
it goes to the block

it is located about where the drivers side rear passenger's mid back would be... but on the other side of the seat (obviously) even if you know where it is, seeing it w/o some removal of parts or having the car in the air is VERY difficult!

Lots of DIY's on that part.

take a moment to introduce yourself and post some pics of your car.

Starter or AOS problems can be calculated by taking the year you were born subtracting the date you last dropped your transmission and multiplying by -0.08. The final number is the number of months till failure.

For me that would be roughly three months.

ivangene

I am no math wizard, but that means you either have a negative age OR you miscalculated and you are 3 months PAST DUE for the failure

Eharrison

You are correct you are no math wizard.

ivangene

DOH... you are right!
I misread.... year born minus year pulled is a neg number....... my bad! (thought age time -0.08)

If that is how you calculate iwhether a part will fit on your Porsche or not, then that explains a lot!

Question! Usually about when the AOS will go bad?
