Investigation...does porsche use child labour?

Because there is no other way to get to most of the bolts and nuts in this car!

Thank you Sam for helping me getting in the tight spots!

They must also use very skinny people to snap the bottom front air cleaner clip on a Carrera. No normal human hand can do it.

I always thought it was these guys who built my car. Note the coveralls. The aerial shots of the town look like somewhere in Germany.....

Because they did it before the engine went in the car? Same answer for all the blind fasteners.

I would love to see how the factory mechanics replaced the air filter on a Carrera like mine. They probably had some high dollar special tool to do it. I have to get my arm covered in soapy water to force my arm into the area far enough to get a finger on the dang clip. And I don't look like Popeye. My arm is normal adult male size.

I know a few mechanics that have admitted to not snapping that clip into place. I am just too stubborn to leave it unclipped.
