Is the wr/wx 10 valve an interference engine?  It does make a difference!

probably will be one. I am abouit to do this very same scenario to my 944 
because on an interference engine its worth the insurance. But if they give it 
green lite then wait,  the 944 drives more mass and has some steep angles  so 
its interval is 30k but you wonder about the years w/o the miles.....if ur npot 
huirting 4 $ then do the belt, pump, pulleys tensioners etc. And have peace of 
mind.   Good luck with the car!!

ownership is different.

the turn signals now work!  Ditto similar efforts for power windows (thanks in 
advance Dennis) radio, clock etc.  But they now work!  Thanks to everyone at 
Audifans urq for their help!

this a big priority?  It sounds like a major project.  Anytime you have to 
disassemble the front of the car, it sounds major to me...

2Bennett next week for a general evaluation, should I just have them do this?  
What is a reasonable cost?
