I was actually told that the tires would last longer if the Nitrogen was purged and replaced with "NEW" Nitrogen, and of course the Nitrogen had to be reclaimed...you can t just release it into the air, which is mostly Nitrogen.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • 986Forum: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When winterizing your Boxster don't forget to change the blinker fluid and rotate the air in your tires. That way, your baby will be ready for the road in the spring. And, always use quality Blinker fluid so your turn signals stay clear and bright.

POST 3Original post

DIY is fun!!! So many things to do even for the complete noob. One of my favorite and the one I recommend most is Macrame. Takes a while but once you've mastered the technique, you can then slowly upgrade a little and move onto some slightly more complex things like gardening, cooking, browsing the Internet... stuff like that

POST 4Original post

On a previous BMW, the dealership, after inspection, provided a list of recommended service items. One item on the list was actually "CHANGING THE AIR IN THE TIRES". Granted the tires were Nitrogen filled, but... I was actually told that the tires would last longer if the Nitrogen was purged and replaced with "NEW" Nitrogen, and of course the Nitrogen had to be reclaimed...you can t just release it into the air, which is mostly Nitrogen. I guess we can't poison the atmosphere with BMW Nitrogen.... I'm surprised there wasn't a "special surcharge" for washing the vehicle with a Hydrogen/Oxygen blend. BMW brand, of course. It was at that time I decided Porsche service had to be cheaper....or at least more honest.

Argon is better, or neon. They are both more inert than nitrogen. Those gases cost a fortunes and that is why high end cars need them. Also, remember to grease your muffler bearings and ensure both rear fog lights function. If only one functions the car could pull to the left.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
