Of course, if this mechanic charges to replace bulbs, I'm surprised he doesn't offer this "reprogramming" service for the low, low price...

Note that the review link was for a diesel truck site. Diesels run at lower RPM than gasoline engines, and airflow is less crucial at lower RPM. My Boxster @ 7500RPM is sucking a lot more air than my...

If the Boxster gets wrecked or the motor grenades, I'll replace it with an MGA or an old Triumph, or maybe an Exige. If the Vette ever gets totaled, I'll replace it with a pre-owned Aston (my wife's...

Another confirmed case here - actually took my diesel to the dealership. They obviously don't know about this, as they spent a day poking and prodding looking for any leaks.

I've had my diesel for a month now, and I'm definitely glad I went that route. You do feel the lack of HP at higher speeds - say accelerating from 50 to 70 - but the torque from a dead stop is...
