- After last winter's extensive restoration of my Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 from 1987, there's still work do.
The wheel bolts were in such a bad shape that they continued to destroy the nuts, heavy braking yielded in vibrations of the steering wheel, the carpet of the trunk has been replaced and the engine oil needed replacement.

So nice to watch everything being done well and like it should be done!
Thanks, Jouko!
I'm very happy to see that you're going to give Olivia some attention once again :)
You know, I like Porsches, but my heart beats for Alfa Romeos... And Lancias too!
Who would have thought that? ☺️
Walter and Giulia are a wonderful couple. Thanks for this nice video!
Walter and Olivia. 😊
'Do it properly or not at all', such a great saying. Love the videos, thank you.
Thanks, Lester.
Please share it with friends.
Oh man what I’d do to have access to such great oil! I’ll have to stick to the off-the-shelf stuff.
Can’t wait to see you get back on the Alfa, it’s been too long!
Ok, I need "Verschlimmbesserung" on a T-shirt. This is my life. Reverse King Midas.
😆😆
It’s a nice word and I too like the idea of having it on a short.
Once again, superb attention to detail, thank you for sharing!
Thanks, David!
87 911 Targa, Carmine Red. I bought it 30 yrs ago. No rain no snow, ever. Drove it for 80k miles and then it sat in my garage for 12 years. Had it refurbished, I love her again. Drives, runs and looks like new again.
Love your videos, which I just found.
What a cool story, Timothy. I’ve googled the colour, it’s very nice. Interior black?
@@GreasyFingers
Yes black interior. Carmine Red, or Cherry Rot in German was a 2 yr color. Porsche has introduced Carmine Red a few times since 87. But it’s not the same. Latest Carmine looked almost Purple.
I am learning a lot from your skills and craftmanship while also enjoying your well made videos. Thank you!
Always trying to do my best. 😊
I subscribed for the dry humour. great job!
Welcome, Daniel! ☺️
Rarely do shortcuts actually pay out. I have named a few of my cars: The Black Widow was my boosted / modified 930, she earned the name 😎
Thanks, Chris.
Could have called her widow maker just as well.
World class footage of the car driving in the countryside
Thank you, Scott. 😊
I also run Valvoline 20W50 “racing” oil in mine and hadn’t heard of Wagner here in the states. Nice video!
Thanks, mate.
Yeah, I thing 20W50 is the right choice for it.
@@GreasyFingers the 20 in the oil because you don't use Walter (lots) in winter, and the 50 because of 'racing in summer'...but suppose you use Walter in winter and you treat him nicely in summer (with 'no racing but gentle driving') ...would the result then be that it is wiser to fill him up with 15W-40 instead of 20W-50 ? (I was planning to say 'her' because my 3.2 is a lady with the name Polly)
@@gerardfields1615 Hi Gerald. What you say makes sense, but I’m not enough an expert in oils to make any strong statement.
My regards to Polly!
Excellent series, addictive. Well done!
Thanks, Geoff. I hope you cannot get away from it. There’s a new one in the making, release probably next week.
My God... what a beautiful machine!
In fact it is!
Thanks for commenting.
My cinquecento and my GT junior also have names 😅. The name Walter for a Porsche is just hilarious!
A car without name is unthinkable. 😀
Great video again. 😀
Many thanks! ☺️
I am enjoying your 911 series 🇪🇸👍
Glad you like it, mate.
Another Great Video, Thankyou!
Thanks, Douglas. Much appreciated.
Please recommend to friends. 😊
I expect the thoughtful and thorough execution and explanation of what you do to your cars. As always you deliver.
I am even more pleased to see you flexing your comedic muscle with the Kylie Minogue bit. It is not quite as funny as watching you get covered with welding splatter (if folks don’t know what I am referring to watch the the videos on repairing the Alfa) but it is still great.
Be careful, if you keep mixing information and entertainment so well you might a lot more attention.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks, my friend.
Funny that you remember the welding splatter episode. 😃
Hi Mr Fingers.. lol .. Just an observation, when you did your wheel bearings in a previous video, you were struggling to adjust and test your wheel bearing clearance.. What you may be missing is that something that feels like a loose bearing could in fact be play in the strut itself. On the black tube section it has a sleeve at the top of your black strut and then you have the absorber sliding in and out and what can happen when the bearing/sleeve gets worn it can feel exactly like a loose bearing when it is this sleeve that wears out. I see this problem a lot particularly on a high mileage car. There are a couple of ways to fix this problem but I am sure you know how to do it.. Great videos mate, keep them coming..
Thank you, Jay.
What you say is very logical and comprehensible. When I bought the car, I had the dampers changed in a Porsche Center (because of a lack of a proper workshop and equipment) and that’s why I didn’t suspect any damage there.
Liking the RED torque wrench.
Yes, the brand is Gedore and it's part of their RED series. Means still quite good, but less painfully expensive compared to their normal stuff.
Wishing you and Walter well. Hopefully he is braking better and judder free now.
Thanks, David.
I’ll drive it extensively this weekend, then we shall see.
It always amuses me to watch strapping being cut (2:44) when it is designed to be peeled off with finger and thumb.
So much more cinematic to cut them! 🤌🏼
Same here Valvoline 20w-50 VR1 hi Zn
In both my 87 Carrera and 64 GiuliaTI
The twin in Florida
Still a mystery to me this coincidence!
Another excellently produced video which has become almost routine for your channel.
Did you replace the wheel studs with longer ones?
Thanks, Bob.
No, I actually changed back from the long ones that it had to the standard 45mm ones. Got that messed up while ordering.
Great content, I believe in German technology especially cars🏆. I only use Shell Rimula X 15W40 diesel oil in all my 4 wheeled vehicles petrol and diesel fuel. The molecular structure has a Total Base Number for and it has a particular high TBN per molecule. And the diesel oil has a very good anti-carbon cleaning properties and you know a diesel has a much higher combustion pressure and a petrol engine will only touch on the numbers of a diesel engine.
I love Walter and am looking forward to witness your lovely Italian lady’s transformation. I’ll contact you when I start with Franki 1986 Porsche 924 base in red and when I continue on Donna the crazy Ducati Monster with a 1098 heart.😉👍🏻
Thanks, Francois.
Your projects sound more than exciting, especially the Ducati one.
What lift are you using?
A neighbour with a lathe ! So lucky.....
Yeah, … a little dramatic composition.
In fact it’s in the same village. 😃
Congratulations for everything...
You motivate me to work at my E30s and make them like new...
Keep me posted… what are you at these days?
🤗👍👍👍
Nice tone and honest you are Johannes mentioning Wagner
Btw , for an automotivetive engineer like you , could we mix synthetic oil and semisynthetic ..I guess yes but would.like to get your take
I put 1.4 l.loff synthetic last week end in my 3.2 targa
aluminum ring of your wheels are shiny . Did you restore them ?.and how ?
Steph
Hi Steph. I really don’t know the answer to the oil mix question. Anything is better than not enough oil, but my gut feeling is that mixing is no good.
The rims are the way I bought the car. I’m thinking about having them flat.
The little steel skid plate at the bottom of the engine case, where did you get that? I have a 1986 turbo, and would like to add one!
I’m sorry I don’t know, David.
I bought it like this. I’m sure you can get it at Rose Passion, they have everything.
Hi there love your CZcams content - where did u buy your carpet for your trunk? Greets Olli
Thanks, Olli.
Drop me a note on instagram or send me a mail please, address in the About section.
Dear Mr. Greasy, I would love to hear your thoughts on your single post, portable hoist. Don’t suppose we could humbly request a review on it?
It’s a very good product which I can recommend.
@@GreasyFingers Thanks for the reply. How does it go with more involved jobs like breaking ball joints apart? I'm assuming you're not going to want to pull an engine with one of these?
Did you drive it until the oil was hot? I understood its required but it seems you replaced it when its cold.
It needs to be changed with hot engine, but not too hot, unless you’re into blisters.
Great content as always, slick product placement yet audio quality was off this time...
Thanks, Joe-San.
Please let me know where you find that the audio track doesn’t work. I’ve actually produced it like always ….
@@GreasyFingers Thks - could be just myself, came across as distorted/high at the beginning. Possible that high quality German output was too much for low tech Japanese equipment to handle this time 😃
@@MrTokyoJoe1 That’s certainly not the reason. 😀
In fact the sound track was a bit tricky this time, as I listened to music a lot while working and after the edit the songs sounded chopped.
@@GreasyFingers The curse of Kylie. Stay with the mellow jazz :-)
😆😆
Please buy a 944 S2 and do the same stuff.
I‘m tempted a lot! 😊
Hey, you have to watch out at the music in the back, you can have your video took down due to using music that is covered with rights like Kylie. You can have monetisation off or even channel blocked. So be care full.
Thanks for warning me, Adam. I’m basically aware of the problem. But I thought it should be okay if I quote it.
The algorithm that scans the film for copyright infringements also didn’t give alert so I thought it should be okay.
13 liters!
Only 3.2 😆
Hallo aus Italien! Eine Frage zu Walters Farbe. Ich selbst fahre einen 924S in Indischrot mit dem Farbcode LM3A. Der Wagen wird neu lackiert und die Schwierigkeit besteht darin, den richtigen, originalen Farbton zu treffen. Nun findet man heutzutage mehrere Codes zur Farbe Indischrot. Hast du auf diesem Gebiet Erfahrung gemacht und/oder .. welchen Farbcode besitzt dein indischroter 911 ?? Vielen Dank und Grüße! Christian
Hallo Christian!
Walter hat den Farbcode L80K.
Wenn Du das ganze Auto lackieren lässt, treffen die Datenbanken der Farbhersteller die Töne eigentlich sehr gut. Schwieriger wird’s, wenn man beilackiert oder nur einzelne Deckel oder Kotflügel lackiert, denn jedes Auto hat durch seine Geschichte einen speziellen Grad des Ausbleichens.
Aber selbst da hättest Du mit einer Uni-Farbe gute Karten. Der Lackierer muss sich nur die Mühe machen, vorab ein paar Farbkarten in unterschiedlichen Facetten zu lackieren und mit dem Auto abzugleichen. Gute Farbhersteller bieten jeden Ton in mehreren Feinabstufungen an.
Kommst Du aus Südtirol?
@@GreasyFingers Ciao! Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort!! Also wieder ein anderer Farbcode für Indischrot! 😁 interessant! Subjektiv denke ich nämlich, dass je nach Baujahr und Farbcode Indischrot einmal mehr Orangetöne enthält und dann wieder mehr Rottöne, so wie das Indischrot ab den 90ern , 964 und aufwärts. Ich werde jetzt erstmal eine Probelackierung machen und sehe dann weiter. Südtirol, dass wäre natürlich klasse … ist und bleibt aber mein bevorzugtes Urlaubsland. Ich selbst wohne in Bergamo, was auch ganz wunderbar ist! Viele Grüße und schönes Wochenende!!
@@christianbaumann1059 Das ist bestimmt so, sonst bräuchte man ja keine unterschiedlichen Farbcodes.
Du kennst die einschlägigen Seiten, die das alles aufgelisteter haben, ja?
@@GreasyFingers ja, kenne ich. aber auch diese seiten widersprechen sich oft… besonders bei indischrot, eine farbe, die es ja bis heute gibt! ich werde das schon schaffen!! 🤩 danke für die likes in instagram!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🖖🏻🍀🍀
Which carpet did you buy?
Schreib mir eine Mail.
@@GreasyFingers kann deine Email Adresse nicht finden. Der Wald und die Bäume? Wo find ich diese? Hab dir auch auf Facebook geschrieben.
Hallo Michael, die Adresse steht in der About-Sektion des CZcams-Kanals. Sie ist halvar.v.flake@googlemail.com
Warum kein Motul 5W50
Hi.
Finde ich auch gut, hab ich früher verwendet.
Ich finde deine Berichte und Aufnahmen sehr gut und habe deinen Kanal auch abbonieren aber warum alles auf Englisch?
Hallo Hans, danke fürs Feedback, ich freue mich.
Zu Deiner Frage eine Gegenfrage: warum nicht?
@@GreasyFingers Weil ich nicht ganz so firm bin in Englisch und so mancher andere vielleicht auch.
Aber das ist deine Entscheidung.
Dein Englisch ist mit Sicherheit gut aber das ist deine Entscheidung.
Grüße Hans
Weißt Du, Hans, ich habe über zwei Jahre meine Filme in Deutsch produziert.
Damals waren die Filme und die Arbeit, die ich mache, auch nicht viel schlechter als heute. Aber es gab einen Unterschied: die Kommentare waren überwiegend wichtigtuerisch und feindselig. Seit ich Englisch spreche, bekomme ich fast nur noch konstruktive Kommentare und die Zahl der 👎🏼 ist vielleicht noch ein Zehntel von früher.
Ich kann und will mich nicht dazu äußern, warum das so ist, ich weiß nur eins: seit ich auf Englisch umgestellt habe, macht es wieder Spaß.
If the humor was any drier I would be picking sand off my keyboard.
😆😆😆
"The brake lines are bended while the brake disc escapes from the caliper......this is happening a million times a day in workshops.......that still doesn't make it right".
Yes, it's right. The brake lines are "bended" every time the wheel is turned, or the suspension goes up & down. Front and rear. That's why brake lines terminate to flexible brake HOSES, right at the caliper.
Lastly....you're not a craftsman, you're someone that suffers from OCD. Your work and the cars are fantastic, but let's not kid ourselves about where these things come from.
I don’t think so. The part of the brake lines I’m talking about go from the wheel carrier to the calliper which means they’re not bended when there’s wheel lift. Otherwise they would immediately brake. The wheel lift, obviously, is bridged by flexible brake lines.
If you tend to make aggressive comments, you should at least be halfway competent enough to express any opinion at all.
Wrong
brakehoses? just rubber...
No no. Body to strut = rubber hose. Strut to calliper = metal line.
Most men who have older P-cars, and I would say in general all cars, use a female name for their cars. I haven’t met a woman driver who calls their car a male name. Here you have a male and a female car.
Your car’s name is Walter. My car’s name is Black Magic because it is. Black exterior, interior and rims. Our state car license plate carries the name also. Magic because it is. It came to me without any paper work -no Porsche paper trail of how it was treated, what was done to it. I know it sat outside in the New York area where he came from for a long while. It started up the day he arrived in Oregon in the enclosed trailer from New York. I guess if I really think about it, Black Magic doesn’t have a male or a female car name - it is genderless. The name is a statement and it lives up to that statement and more; I kid you not! I only have time for one great car so there are not any other great cars in our 3 car garage. No jealousy in the garage as the other two cars do what those cars are for.
Now back to your video
- fine looking drawings, I will take a look at the T-shirts
-I hear “Them” playing in your shop...good old tunes
- Kylie Minogue’s music seems a mix of Asian and rock listening to it in your garage- me wrong. She is a female singer sounding somewhat like a teenage girl but she is a real woman if you know what I mean. I am listening to her now singing the song “Do you believe in Magic”...of course I do Kylie... my car IS BLACK MAGIC.
“A garage without a Porsche is just a dark hole” - Walter Rohrl - Porsche Development
Hello again, Jim. You’re right about the female names for cars. I guess, Germany is a bit of a exception in this field, as cars are generally male in our language, likely resulting from „der Wagen“. In correct German one would even have to say „der Alfa Giulia“ (male) which, however, I find rude.
Walter, by the way, was named after Walter Röhrl who had his 70th birthday at the day when I first met him (her).
