Not the dealer, most know almost nothing about the air-cooled cars. You can buy a car lift and all the tools for what they will charge you. I had a Porsche dealer tell me that I had a rod knock and I bought a engine stethoscope ($50.00) and found the real problem. It would have cost $12,000+ to have them rebuild the engine and found that it was a loose timing chain and the tensioner was hitting the timing cover/case. I used the forums for information and bought all tools,parts needed including a lift for less than $3000.00 .I did the work myself and now my car runs great.
