Thanks for commenting. I call the sanding, polishing “prep work” and it was the same for spray on and wipe on. This video is about the differences in the final step of applying UV clear coat, after all of the sanding and polishing, for both, wipe on and spray on.

@@nicholasr.652 good find :’]

I just changed shifter hoping it was something up front but sure its cables now 😅..

@@nicholasr.652 ohhhh I read the comments out of order hahaa

@@nicholasr.652 shoot. Sorry. comment if you need tips

I bought it on AliExpress. I can't fully recommend it because the holes were advertised to fit and they didn't. I don't *not* recommend it, but I can't fully endorse it here.

No, the power comes from the head unit. The head unit controls when the rear camera is powered. You can have a head unit that turns on the rear camera when it wants.

8 torx screws at the bottom of the lid and a catch pin Steps 26, 27 here www.macarbon.com/install_guides/Porsche/997/997%20CF%20Center%20Console%20Install%20Instructions.pdf

Glad to have helped 😎

I recall something about double amp’ing but don’t want to provide the wrong information. There was something about amp settings here: www.planet-9.com/threads/diy-on-installing-an-inexpensive-android-radio-headunit-to-replace-the-standard-cd30-radio-and-probably-the-pcm3.253949/#replies

There are subtle spec requirement differences for the automatic transmission and transfer case in terms of fluid, but the ATF should meet both those specs in the transmission and transfer case. Short answer - yes, same fluid source(s) [1] www.renntech.org/topic/33459-transfer-case-oil/ [2] rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-955-957-2003-2010/698029-transfer-case-oil-which-one.html

Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to comment 🤘

yvw, glad to hear (<333)

Great video. I sub'd because you have so many videos on the Cayenne 955/957. I've got the VR6 like you and my next one is the PCV. Mine is shot which sux.

@@ryanthomastew there should be more VR6 videos. next one is an oil change, which apparently we have a separate drain plug and gasket on the oil filter(?? lol) versus the V8. thanks for the sub. sorry to hear. do share how it turns out

@@RuslanVideoFilms yeah there are two drain plugs. The main one on the oil pan and there is a small one for the oil filter housing. The small drain plug on mine is jammed so I just open the oil filter housing a little bit to let it drain down the side slowly. Otherwise I get like a half quart of hot oil all over me.

@@ryanthomastew sounds like a nice time

oof. Good to know / be fore-warned about the Porsche tax. 🙏 MAF is one of the few things you don’t want to skimp on, should buy OEM instead of aftermarket because aftermarket are rarely as accurate and lead to problems.

@@RuslanVideoFilms I think there may be a defect in the MAF units used in the 2016 Cayennes for US. When misfiring begins and auto start stop disables itself, I get a check engine light. After codes are cleared the issue goes away completely for about 6 months. Porsche service has never suggested replacing the MAF, even though codes state MAF issue.

another great video. Easy work. How would you say the car feels after the diff fluid change?

@@ryanthomastew thank you, friend. exactly the same to be honest. the only good thing is the peace of mind. diffs felt fine before the fluid change even at 120/130K miles

@@RuslanVideoFilms Good feedback. Have you tried BlackStone Laboratories to get oil analysis? I wonder if they could analyze diff fluids...

Yes, this video is about how to get around the issue and continue using your vehicle. You can always replace the seat belt after making the seats usable again.

@@RuslanVideoFilms update, for whatever reason, unbolting the bottom bolt allowed me to reset the seatbelt, and it works perfectly now! (I bolted it back in after it unlocked)

Sounds like two leaks: failed sunroof seal, which is causing the overhead console leak, and clogged up sunroof drains, which is causing the a pillar leak. I would confirm by watering the cayenne in different spots and seeing where /when the water starts coming in.

*ALTERNATIVE FILL METHODS* [1] "However after now refilling for the 3rd time to get the performance and smoothness back into the transmission, without any banging as it changes gear and obtaining directly from Porsche their filling procedure, the following method is the way to go. After driving around to get the tranny oil warm. Drive onto a ramp or trolley Jack up and switch off the engine. Drain the fluid. Do up the drain bolt, undo the filler bolt, having loosened this before drainage!!!!! Fill the tranny until the fluid comes out. Get a friend to apply the foot brake, keep the footbrake on throughout the whole procedure if jacked up !! hand brake still on and start the car. The wheels need not to be turning so apply the hand brake and foot brake. Go from park reverse, neutral, drive over to D1 AND THEN D2 and then back through the box to Park. Keep the engine on and have a friend sit in the drivers seat, foot brake on !!!! The car still in Park and on tick over/idle. Fill the tranny some more until it pours out, DO NOT TOUCH THE GEARS !!! LEAVE IN PARK THE WHOLE TIME !!! Raise the transmission temperature to 40 degrees, some oil but not much at all will come out, so have a bowl underneath. No more filling will be required during this procedure. Put the bolt back in. JOB DONE. Don't do this any other way or you will lose overall performance from the engine via the transmission. The difference is huge ! Thanks for reading Jason L-S" [2] "Once the sump cover has been re-installed, remove the fill port cover and use a fluid pump to do the initial fill of three to four liters. Start the engine and let it idle. Keep adding fluid to the transmission until it starts to pour out of the fill hole. Keep in mind that once you start the engine, it will circulate fluid. If you need to turn the engine off for any reason, re-fit the fill plug until you can continue the procedure. Move the gear selector from park to drive, pausing for five seconds and then move it to reverse. Let the engine idle during this procedure.

Good morning, I appreciate you taking the time to write this out, you’re welcome. Thanks for calling that out - I tried to include a lot of details that are missed in shorter videos 🙏 glad you got it in

@@dukeofnyd1 just an occasional sloppy shift from 3rd to 2nd when quickly braking, but unfortunately that still happens even after the fluid change. Otherwise the maintenance was just overdue 💪

@@RuslanVideoFilms ok

how so?

You mean $14 by the time I replied to this comment, right? 😂😭

Thought you would never ask :'] czcams.com/video/tGlGJzU8ehM/video.html czcams.com/video/tVH_yscXDBA/video.html czcams.com/video/fUmXgkEsvbk/video.html

Good morning, if there's no puddle then the sensor sounds like it could be a culprit. Reasoning: You said there's no puddle, there would have to be a puddle if there was a real leak. First thing I would do is pull the wheel liner and see if the fluid is above the sensor line. 🫡

Also sounds like it might be a leaky washer? (obvs : ) )

@@RuslanVideoFilms Thanks, as usual. With the weather (hot and humid) getting lazy these days 🙂

Added to the pinned comment. Comments like these make these videos better. Thanks for taking the time to write.

Absolutely! They feel notchy at first but loosen up over time and feel super reliable. (gm!) Here's the link: flat6motorsports.com/products/numeric-racing-performance-shifter-cables-987-cayman-boxster

Do you have a famous Duke basketball video in the Brown dorm?? Is that you ??

Hey @@RuslanVideoFilms !! Long time no see 😁 Sorry about your car, hope you are able to fix it!

I know!

Generic brand of butyl sealant tape. (In a good way) don’t need to get fancy with it. It’s linked in the description under the chapter 🫡

@@RuslanVideoFilmsthank you :)

@@RuslanVideoFilms Did you ever change the right hydraulic strut ? and maybe you know location of strut fluid tank? my right strut has bad leak and I don’t know how to replace it

Davico brand, purchased from CarParts.com. I’m not sure if there’s enough space to do this on the V8, you will most likely have to do everything from below. Here’s a 10% off CarParts code, expires 10/01, in case you end up using the site (I got it in the email after buying mine): EMSD003L44JOC9V

My pleasure. Good luck 🫡

@@RuslanVideoFilms Thanks once again. It worked perfectly!

Was a factory option when I purchased the car

Emissions related component - non removable. I was curious about that too and googled it :)

please do

honestly, there aren’t any pressing maintenance items. The air oil separator can be accessed from the top if you haven’t done that recently. That’s the biggest one. while the top is off, you can basically do anything else like maintaining the throttle body, but that’s a whole separate procedure.

@@RuslanVideoFilms Thanks! I didn't think about the throttle body - good tip! I haven't done the air oil separator yet. I thought that might be a good project to conquer at the same time! Luckly, I haven't had any major signs that the AOS is going out - but, while I'm there.... The shifting is pretty glitchy. I already changed transmission box fluid and realigned the shifter cables - but they had little effect. I'm hoping replacing the shifter cables will do the trick!

@@jeromenelson5280 Best of luck! Share please how it goes!
