TIPS OF THE MONTH
Dash Lights Flicker? Rotten Egg Smell? - Own a pre-1990 911® Carerra, your car may have a problem with the alternator over charging. When it overcharges, it heats up the battery and the acid starts spilling out. If this condition goes undetected, it can cause your front suspension pan to rust out resulting in expensive body repair. Symptoms: Lights flicker due to a bad regulator in the alternator. And a rotten egg smell from the battery. Prevention: Repalce and install an Optima battery, therefore if the alternator does fail, there is no acid in the battery to cause a rusted out pan. -- Brian

To place an order for your Optima Battery, Contact Jake in Parts at parts@pwr-tech.com or call 973.586.3210

Your 944® Won't Start? Electricals Erratic? - One tip off it could be for 944's®, 968's® (and most front engine Porsche's®) is when water drains under your battery and down through a rusty hole into your footwell affecting your computer (aka - filling it with water). By not keeping the drains clear of pooling water and debris, the water mixes with the battery acids and creates a hole that will allow water to soak your carpets, and your computer(s). -- Bob

To make an appointment and/or for service information, contact Mike at mike@pwr-tech.com or by calling 973.586.3210

Alarm Not Functioning? - The 993® factory radio has metal frame with a wire that connects to the alarm. If the factory radio is removed and it (or an aftermarket radio) is reinstalled without that wire connected, it trips the alarm. Symptom: The light [for the alarm] on top of the door flickers and the it will not arm the alarm. -- Brian
