Since your playing part number games are the cams the same?? Pistons??heads?? It would be amazing to be able to just swap intakes and tune and have a carrea engine in a mid engine boxster 😊

Is there a aimilar point in the front to lift from, more centrally located? I assume the front suspension linkage point, as its connected to the frame of the car?

Great explanation but my vacuum solenoid is not behind the seat as you might say I have a tee pipe about where the solenoid should be my car cayman 987.2 pdk 2.9 I have three on top of the engine

A really good explanation just one question my car a Cayman 987.2 PDK 2.9 and the vacuum solenoid is not behind the seat where the Jeff said all I have is tee y type junction just wondered if any knows I have three solenoids on top

Could you get the measurement on the input shaft OD vs ID (clearance)?

Jeff, my 981 ac doesn't shut off even when car turned off. Only way to shut its to disconnect the battery. What should I do?

Cool video. “Best” is subjective, though. ZF is DAMN good, but personally I like the Getrag 7DCL750. It’s not proprietary to any specific manufacturer, so technical information is readily available. It’s also the only DCT I’ve ever had apart, so I’m biased of course.

Sad to see them brake down a lot on the range sensors and pressure sensors. We replace those sensors almost daily. And 95% low mileage cars so yeah not that reliable in my opinion for a brand like that. Also Porsche tells customers sorry we can't replace the sensors you have to buy a new transmission.

Well, it maybe super high tech etc. People want a mechanical shifter type transmission, preferably a six speed.

Brilliant, the world needs more people like you. I suspected this when I took my 911 Turbo for service & the local Porsche dealer loaned me a Boxster & I remember thinking why did I spend so much money for basically the same car. Good job 👍

Great video as always Jeff! Was wondering if you will ever do some content on the camshaft actuator bolts? I heard some back out prematurely. It may be rare but the risks are pretty high.

Very interesting. Have always been a Porsche admirer. Intelligent engineering.

Well... I never knew. How very impressive (and informative). Thanks !

I would never have thought that a Porsche would be an ‘easy maintenance’ car. (I am not into car mechanics myself - I just like to watch videos like this 😁😏)

The first Porsche car was produced in 1948 and was based on a VW Beetle that Hitler stole from the Czechoslovak Tatra. It's a timeless design and to say it's German is like saying the origin of Ford is Zimbabwe. We live in a world of lies and fraud, so whoever has more money and influence insists that his truth be taught in schools.

Is this the same transmission as used in the Macan? Or does the Macan have the DSG?

Toyota air filter: Release 4 spring clips; lift cover; change filter. Porsche 981 air filter: Remove the entire trunk liner; remove oil filler lines, unclip engine CPU, and remove half the back end. Ridiculous.

Thank you for this amazing video you’ve made me really interested in Porches now. Would you say a more family friendly Panamera is just as easy to maintain by yourself?

They made the cayman too good with the mid engine compared to the 911

Thank you so much! you got a sub. Everything is so well explained!

Print a QR code linking to this video to hand out to any snobby 911 owners that say your Boxster/Cayman isn't a TRUE Porsche

As I looked for a roadster some years ago I decided not to take a used Boxster because of the fear about service and repair prices. Would I have seen your video before I may would have changed my opinion. Ended up with a Mercedes SLK which is also well engineered and sporty car but not on the same level as the 981. Do you know if construction on the older 987 series is comparable? They get a little bit more affordable nowadays in Germany. Prices for the 981 are still really high. Have fun with you car and learning all about the technology.

Thank you Jeff.

Hi kindly do a Toyota prado cvt 15 pins in fj

The pencil steering rack is every bit as clever as the Porsche engineering. Complaints against German manufacturers arises not so much from the engineering but reliability/quality of components, complexity, failure by service department of the brands unable to fix faults, snobbish attitudes, reluctance to help the customer and excessive repair bills. These high repair/maintenance costs make stupid owners take ridiculous short cuts which ends up ruining the car, the makers reputation and the experience for the next owner. Everything is so profit driven (pun not intended) it is sickening.

I just did this and I must have done something wrong. My panels are securely glued as per instructions, but that 5mm curve didn’t set properly. Mine followed the line of the hard plastic interior and now sticks up about 5mm. Any ideas what I did wrong? The hard plastic piece seems to have warped also.

Hi jeff ! Very useful information in there ! If I am not mistaken you do not discussed why you did not replace the PDK pan/filter. It's by far the most expensive bit so I am very much inerested in your comment about this choice. Thanks in advance !

You are the best with this information - and trusted. everything you have shown in these videos is amazing. Like others, OEM features are the best and I upgraded to a PCM 3.1 - all the electrical and parts were interesting to add. I also added the cable from the PCM to the dash for the on-screen nav. I now need to add the codes to enable the new functions (with the proper Code) and wanted to know if you have a video of adding codes for Nav, bluetooth, Chrono, usb/aux.

Jeff - I have a bad front BCM and I bought a used one - can I copy the information from the original BCM and paste it into the one I purchased - using the PIWIS II?

On a long list of who gives a shyt videos this one is up there.

Didn't you know, that in the "V-Fall", the Verteidigungsfall (which in Nato German means aggressive wars for recources - as a spineless muppet of the US elites, of course - that are propagandistically masked to look like the other party has started) the engine of any German means of war (tank, Kübelwagen, halftrack, Boxter) has to swapped in under 15 minutes?

Hello Jeff, I love how easy you explain every part of the Boxster. I am wondering how I have to replace the headlight washer nozzle system, can you make a video and explain about it, thank you

Well done old chap! In my half century of driving Fords to Ferraris I try to keep an open mind about learning new things and though initially daunted by the length of these videos I’ve found them captivating from end to end and learned a whole new slew of insights, even on things I thought were simple and I fully understood. You have an excellent way of explaining and demonstrating through graphics and practicals that very few on CZcams have been able to achieve, a true talent!😀👍🏎

pdk oil every 10k is ridiculous

Jeff, I wanted to take a moment to thank you profusely for this video and explanation of disassembly and reassembly. PO on my 981 had clipped a phone mount to the A/C vent and popped off the spring steel link as well as the central yoke. Luckily both parts were there but I struggled for an hour before watching this, and afterwards it was a 10 min fix. Many, many thanks!

Jeff, I appreciate the questions. Jumping on the gas doesn’t cause it. It only happens at gentle throttle openings, seemingly constant throttle. A very good question re which gears exactly, and honestly right now I am not sure. Will have to go and test!

It does seem to improve with sport. I did a fluid change 1.5 years and about 6000 Kms ago. But even in manual when I am in a constant gear, it is there. There are quite a few people with the same problem on the internet when searching, but the only resolution I have ever heard is gearbox change from porsche, which is not very practical

Constant flicking from one scene to another drive's me nut's 👎

Jeff thanks for the response. So when driving in a relatively high gear, ie 4th - 6th and rpm between about 2-3 k the rev needle moves up and down by about 200 rpm and I can hear the engine changing revs, so it’s not just an instrument thing. It’s only on part throttle ie doesn’t seem to happen when driving agressively. Car has 93,000 Kms. Their is a video of on someone else’s car, a turbo on CZcams under pdk fluctuation

Amazing engineering but all this engineering is there to accommodate the fundamental flaws in using internal combustion. Electric cars don’t need any of this.

Jeff, that’s some amazing investigative work you have done. Thanks for sharing. I have rpm fluctuation whilst at low rpm and constant speed, as though the clutch is slipping slightly and then re engaging. Do you have experience of this? Would you suspect it to be one of the clutch valve solenoids? I am considering a valve body replacement to ensure rectification. I have no error codes. Any thoughts appreciated.

This is it ! I'm buying a Porsche 😡

I love your videos! Thank you for doing them. I didn't see how to remove the trunk black plastic cover over the latch mechanism.

Complicated.

That simplicity is negated because we are going to take it to the dealership anyway. So it’s still going to cost big dollars.

Are we able to use a CarDAQ-Plus-3 with this system? I got a 216 porsche

Hi Jeff. Thanks for this, really helpful. Just a question, why do you use copper paste instead of ceramic paste between the hub and the disc, and the disc and wheel? Could you not use ceramic paste for the whole job? Thanks

Wow you make it look so simple yet it’s a Porsche.😅 Thnak you for the video and i am saving it. ❤

hello jeff, thank you very much for the great video, which can also be used on the 982. Unfortunately I don't quite understand in the video whether the screws should be tightened with 15 or 50 NM

So to get this straight! The Germans say: "Doppelkupplungsgetriebe", whilst the Anglosaxons say: "Doubleclutchtransmission. The Germans say: "Kammerstängelrepetierbüchse", whilst the British say: "Boltactionrifle". The Germans say: " Vorderschaftrepetierer", whilst the Yanks say: "Pumpaction". "Leveraction" is "Vorderschaftrepetierer". Is it possible, I'm asking, that the overengineering already starts with the language?
