Look at it this way, at least the battery isn't as hard to change as a Cayenne battery! The Cayenne battery is under the driver's seat (yes, you heard that right) and it takes a special tool move the seat to gain access to it!

little late, if you follow this thread...... err.... the trial of threads splattered all over the board, the OP already has a bettery... and is on to the 3rd battery thread, the one about the bolt, not the one about which battery, we expect a "where does this battery hose go" thread next ![evilgrin](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/evilgrin.gif)
to the OP.... I am just giving you a ration, dont get bent
(all meant in good humor)

More of the PITA getting the right info than anything else and after waiting almost two weeks for the car being shipped and the dealer doing the IMS/RMS I was looking forward to a nice smooth delivery yesterday culminating in a lesiurly drive. But yea now that I threw the battery in there I am a happy camper and learned a little along the way. Took her out for a spin and it is a blast weather sucks so had to cut it short but if it cools down and clears up I'll be back out there for a spin later.

A Sears Diehard is a great battery. (I just took one out of another one of my cars, and it had gone in back in September 2000).

The a/c works great in these cars. It's in the center of the dash and there are a few threads and even a youtube on how to clean the radiators if you are running hot.

I WOULD call this person a complete JackTard for complaining about owning a Porsche 911, but.... I'm just thankful I have the means to own one. I kind of hope he smashes it into a brick wall at high speed in the near future.
Don't worry JackTard, the Porsche airbags are top notch.

He waited a long time for his first, and it arrives with a dead battery and he can't take it for a test drive. He asked about the battery and jumping the car. He didn't say his car sucks. I would be going crazy if it finally arrived and I couldn't go for drive. He showed more restraint than I could.
You might want to retract your opinion and apologize, or others may wish you a worse fate.

Congrats on your new ride OP! I also had a few issues with mine when I first got it (still having a few). I had a PPI and it passed with flying colors. You will have so much fun with your car that the little issues are worth it.
