No you cannot fit 9x16 alloys on this particular model of carrera because the wheel arch is only 9x14. the 3.2 carrera RS model has a 10x17 wheel arch.

A voltage regulator is just that. You need an auto electrician to diagnose the fault. It is a lot cheaper than the dealership. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me The Voltage Regular is part of the alternator, so it is not a smart module that phones home and asks questions. https://www.google.com/search?q=voltage+regulator+for+a+Porsche+Cayenne ..

It would be possible but You will need to literally tear the entire car apart to do it; parts, even out of the junk yard, will cost way more than the car is worth. And the Vin # would show manual trany try to explain that to insurance company, dealer, buyer. Probably not a good idea.

Nice restoration. Looks like this? Makes it 1950s, the same as me! https://www.google.com/search?q=vintage+westinghouse+M-7 ..

I haven't come across the problem before but I am increasingly hearing of modern cars thinking for themselves (as they are designed to do), the trouble is they sometimes become disoriented and feeling they must try and behave normally they put 2 and 2 together and make five. Usually it is a case of automatic windows that are closed before they expect to be closed and think they have encountered an obstruction and so go into reverse. I think it needs dealer diagnostic equipment to reset these things...

Of the 2 I'd rather own the Taycan. When you look at the specs the Taycan is the faster one not only in a straight line but on the track. Engineering Explained did a great video on this (https://www.taycanevforum.com/threads/why-the-taycan-turbo-s-is-faster-than-the-tesla-model-s.1165/) It also comes with the Porsche pedigree, engineering, and dealer network. The Model S has a higher range but I'd bite the bullet for the Taycan.
