Porsche Convertible top fix

Pretty much all Porsche convertibles from 1997 through 2012 have push rods with plastic ball joints that easily fail.

Can't remove my key from the ignition switch on my 1999 boxster 986 help!!
Just did my cooling fan by myself. Thank you for your video
Bravo! Excellent “brake” down!
outstanding stuff .. so you had to make two tools to lock both sides... because they are directional is there a left and right side tool ? I noticed you bent the tool to create the offset, did you have to make one bent the other way for the other side ?
I tried all options. Ordered aux cable to plug into back of unit. Cheap China garbage. I have the cd changer and ended up starting there. Unplugging the unit and using the rca connectors. You will need 2 female to female rca's then male rca to headphone jack. I then plugged in a bluetooth receiver and set radio to aux. You can omit the bluetooth and rerun it to interior but I just left the bluetooth mounted by cd changer. Not sure why no one has went with this option took me awhile to get it right at first I left main cd changer plug connected and just let the changer play the cd tricking the radio to stay in cdc mode so I could utilize the rca inputs but once the radio is programed to aux you can disconnect the changer and aux function kicks in.
Thanks! My Cayenne has been having the same symptoms and I've brought it to multiple places and we've yet to resolve this issue (fluctuating temperature + no A/C). Just wanted to say thanks for posting, this gives us a lot of information to work with!
Ok, it’s been a number of years since you sourced your ims replacement. How has it worked out please.
The coolant is Glysantin G40. Porsche doesn’t make it. You can use Pentosin, or Zerex, or VW G13. They all meet the spec. The color is violet. As long as it’s G40 spec.
Love that you take the time to educate us, rather than rushing through things.....
Your info is very useful and helpful for rat damage
On my 1999 Boxste, I removed belt to install new water pump. On reinstallation of the belt, I noticed the AC pulley could rotate freely. Is this normal? Car has 40k miles.
There are several coolants like Peak and Zerex that actually say they are Porsche compatible. That’s proof enough.
Thank you very much
How did you get to the center bolt out of the right side transmission mount? I’ve been told there are special tools to get it out but haven’t found an explanation. Great Video’s and I appreciate your input!
Excellent video. Well explained and demonstrated. Programming was easy to do, based on your comments. Thank you.👍
This guy completely misses all the points.
The rest of this video is bla bla, one of the worst mods is a uprated clutch pressure plate. Then to gear fast means your kicking the hell out of the crank thrust/crank walk.
Bla bla. All a flywheel is energy stored in a spining mass. Its how engine rpm drops to fast for road use or slow gear changes.
There is no secret sauce in Porsche fluids.
Should flush the system with coolant, not plain water. The coolant is the lubricant for the water pump. Imagine running your engine without oil.... Any idea what the torque setting is for that drain plug?
I would like an update on the rout you picked since it has been 7 years
Currently using low temp thermostat 68C in tropical hot climate. Notice that radiator fan doesn't run long as 81C thermostat
I'm not sure what kind of car you working on Burner but I've been playing with my diesel starter for my Volkswagen and having the same issue that I got two stars doing the same thing and I've got one tour part and then I'll find your video and you got the same exact starter thank you so much and subscribe to your channel see what else you got that might help me
This little tip on the three bolts on Sonos in left-handed drill bit works great for removing those
Thanks, very enjoyable and down to earth likable. I’ve been an aviation mechanic for over 35+ years and I don’t think that it could’ve been presented in a better manner. Although you’re first video did start out a little dorky, you definitely met the challenge, and came out above in the end. Keep up the good work. PS. If your main seal goes out within the next 6 months or so, you wont be so eager to pay the price. Hopefully you changed it, but just didn’t include it in the video, if not don’t tell anybody lol.
In my case, the cover for the clutch won't pull out. What to do?
Thoughts on duranetric tool to help troubleshooting an intermittent starting issue.. replaced all fuel systems, fuel pump filters, ignition switch, key from germany, o2 sensors, immobilizer, sending immobilizer back again for testing.. 🤷🏼♂️👨🏼🔧😭..
You can actually buy a complete pulley with the bearing already installed...saves the trouble of doing this
Long time ago I was considering light flywheel for reason that about to spin out, off the gas and able to regain control because less inertia the engine immediately slows down. Now I don't care as car is just transportation.
Dude thanks for working that out for the CZcams's ☆☆☆☆☆ regarding the information.
This video should have 10 million views. No other video I have found answered every single question about brake fluids 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I have that noisy starter that I both and this is my second starter know I known what it is. Thanks for posting that knowledge very helpful. 😊
FYI those type of soldering irons are legit the worst....
fair to say that’s the worst design ever
This guy has no clue and in one of the comments he admits not even trying them! Yes you can fit a lightweight flywheel, add a harmonic damper just in case and your golden. The end.
It’s maths not math, you can’t even say it correctly so lost any credibility
Where did you buy the tool?
Your videos are still my go-to resource for working on my Boxster. This is my third RMS replacement (on three different engines). Thanks again.
Done 70,000 miles on my LN, no seal and no lube, car now 120,000 total mileage, change oil & Filter every 5000 miles, you pays your money and takes your chance. part of the problem with the bearing was the inclusion of the seals, once the grease had gone you could not get enough lubrication in there, i would be interested to know where you sourced your hybrid ceramic bearing, as i should be replacing the current bearing.
This is a good start BUT it's 7 years old and DOES NOT MEET FORD STANDARDS!!! My 2013 Ford Explorer Sport requires Dot 4 LV BUT it also says that the fluid MUST meet or exceed: "WSS-M6C65-A2" AND "ISO 4925 Class 6". Failure to use a fluid that meets or exceeds those standards may in fact damage your braking system. You can google those standards to find out more information but basically they have less viscosity which is needed for ABS systems that may also utilize automatic braking while using cruise control. All Poly Glycol brake fluids are NOT created equal so you should check your owners manual and BE SURE TO CHECK THE FOOTNOTES, so that you get the proper fluid for your brakes.
Is that 2hrs 10 mins to take old clutch and flywheel off and put new parts on? DO you know if it's same time for a 987 Boxster
Can’t the wires just be wire nutted together?😊
If it's oat then you can use truck antifreeze
Same procedure on a tiptronic?
Would I bother using a light flywheel on a read car? No though have in the past. Racecar however [roadrace and speedway] they are essential and ideally you should also use a lighter balancer as well. As well as a smaller dia one. Or more importantly a smaller far lighter clutch. Centrifigual mass is a real issue, smaller mass the better the engine responds. Balance? IF the engine is balanced to suit there is no issues, even a 40lb nuetral balance clutch and flywheel can use one half that weight. Or speedway use just a small dia flywheel with a conical clutch.

Danke für Dich, gefällt mir, das Du langsamm, ruhig erzählst alles, obwohl ich verstehe nicht . . . aber nach Dein Handbewegung weis was Du vorhast, was Du machen wills---guuuut :)))
Any OAT coolant is ok. Get the Zerex stuff
What if I don't know which wire goes in each wire housing?
Great job. If only I had a rear engine car like this, where it's possible to remove the pulley without removing the compressor...
