The Final Video!!! FiXING The Porsche 911 996... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Very informative .....Regardless of these cars minor quirks and issues .... The driving rewards are well with the effort !! Good Job another still lives into the future ...
This was a great series about my dream car I hope to wrench on one in the future thank you
Watching your videos got me wanting to pull a motor on my clients 996 ….. 😊 great job !!! Greetings from California
Great video, cool to watch the beginning to end with this 996. You make it look way too easy.
Nathan, thanks for the tip on filling coolant. I'm about to change my water pump on my 997.1. You've cleared that up for me!
Honestly for the $50 a vacuum coolant fill kit costs on Amazon (assuming you have an air compressor), I don't know why anyone would not use one. It's so simple, vacuum the system, drop the fill end in a bucket of coolant, open the valve to fill, and you're basically done. I've done both and I'm never going back.
Also, when draining the coolant, once you pull the big rad hose off the water pump, you can get most of it out by applying some compressor air into the reservoir - not much air pressure, but be prepared for a couple gallons to come out. If you just drain via the drain plug, you're going to leave most of the coolant in the front in the car.
Great video
I have a 986S, this series was very helpful. thanks, man.
Proper flush explained at 5:00
Great news that you saved that beautiful 996. How many hours do you think you had in all that investigation and repair work? Also, curious how the owner gets the car back to Florida in the winter. Again, well done guys. PS, does Phillip ever get his hands dirty or is he dedicated solely to the camera duty???
Just popped in to say, new to the channel and really enjoyed this series on the red 996. A real shame to hear that the engine got swapped out at some point in its past. A 59k mile car but with an engine of unknown mileage.
I've a 67k mile 2000 996, also rust free and in the UK! Changed the coolant reservoir and the rear hoses last year. Looking forward to watching some of your other videos!
Nice. I've a UK car '99 996 c4 cab with about 80k miles. Spotted intermix in coolant but none in engine oil. Nathans amazing videos made me take a leap of faith and ordered the AOS and Oil cooler before draining anything. Waiting on it to arrive! 🙈
Finally CONCLUDED... Feels like when i met my old-ladys parents.. I said Cinnimon Sr.' how do you do-it? all the training.. all the HIGH polishing of her first-pole to swing-on.. teaching her(cinnimon jr.) to flip and swing with grace.. to land that awesome BMW tech.
Feels good is all i can say. Good work 996. guzzling SO much fluid.. mixing it and now your free'. Just like cinnimon jr.
I’ve been following the progress and appreciate all the vids. Now that you got all running in specs, will you keep it awhile, or set if free?
Glad you figured it out .
Can be depressing to keep going through a motor without vail.
Makes you want to put a spike in your head .
A to B to C to D
That’s how to work through it
Love these Porsche videos! I have a 1999 996 as well as a Panamera.
What would cause oil in coolant AND coolant in oil in a 2012 Panamera w/ 141k miles? It was a minor wreck in front end when I bought it. I've replaced radiator, AOS, Oil cooler, coolant hoses, water pump and thermostat. Combustion gas test was fine. Coolant compression test @15psi leaks down to 14psi after 3-4hrs, then down to 11psi overnight. Spark plugs were not steam cleaned either, so I don't think it's a head gasket. Original oil was fine too, so something happened when I put all new parts in.
It is on end of week #2 at Porsche dealer and they are stumped (go figure, cost keeps going up as they scratch their heads).
Hi, thanks for posting these videos, they are great!!
I have an issue with my 996, I have oil in the coolant but don’t have coolant in the oil. Based on your experience what would you think it could be? Cheers 👍🏼
Any thought on the new gts 4l engines and oil consumption problems? Considering one but have heard this is an issue
Alright Nathan looks good to go! Next project is that 718 cayman???? Maybe? Haha
Would driving the car with so much water in the oil (assuming there were times it was driven with water in the oil) compromise the condition of the engine components due to insufficient lubrication? Would we likely see scoring on this car?
Depending on the time you were intermixing, bearings can easily be compromised. Then you're into a realm of no fun.
I don't think this engine is going to stay healthy for long if it was driven for any extended period on intermix.
@@miketdavies Yeah, a quart of water draining into the crank case overnight seems like it could really be a problem.
What was the low voltage issue? Curious if the Alternator was working.
Got another one saved 👍.
What happened with the 11 volt battery reading?
That's a remarkable feat! The 996 is my favorite air cooled! I love the red!
Boy. What the hell?
A video of adding all new fluids to a rebuilt engine would be useful.
💯👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯
You should mention that turbo and GT 996 & 997.1 have vastly different engines from the base engines. 😉
The Metzler engines don't have the same issues.
If you don't tighten the head bolts on a Mezger, it will still have the same problems!
@@miketdavies tell us about the ims & aos issues in the Metzger? Since you know so much basic stuff about engines in general.
@@randominternetuser2888 sure, since this video had so much to do with IMS issues. LOL
@@randominternetuser2888 - The engineer’s name was Hans "Mezger"…
What was the voltage issue?
Someone didnt plug the alternator in lol
@@NathansPorscheWorkshop dam gremlins!!
Watched all the videos on the yellow/red 996. They are excellent and extremely informative. However, it seems to me that you have encountered these highly abused cars without proper maintenance and repairs through out their respective lives eventhough they maybe low mileage or what not. I think though it is almost impossible to get a perfect car, it seems to me that if the 996s are well taken care of and maintained along with proper warm ups in the cold mornings and driven correctly, these 996s should be no different than any other reliable cars. It would be interesting to see what kind of level 2 overrevs your 996s have and what are their cam deviation readings. Just to add another interesting note. You mentioned that too many younger drivers nowadays don't drive manuals anymore, but all and all, there are just too many of these manual cars fall into the wrong hands, young and old!! If one gets a car from one of the wrong hands, watchout. Too many good porsches, especially 996s (due to that they are the most affordable 911s out there still) have fallen into the wrong hands who just want to drive, enjoy, abuse and NOT maintain and repair them properly but to pass them on to the next sucker!! Do a proper PPI (and I mean PROPER) with a knowledgeable person if you are about to buy any car. Thank you for your great videos, and I'll leave you with this saying here," there are no cheap Porsches, but only cheap Porsche drivers....lol.
I thought I was going to have to do a rebuild on my 996. It is OK.
So the engine head bolts were loose from factory? or from some dipshit mechanic not tightening them to spec?
Seems like something a dealership would do.
@@davidj4662 good thing my father gave me a set of sockets when I bought my first car (1988 Accord). In my 20 years of driving I have never had to pay a mechanic for anything other than alignments and tire changes.
20th!!!!!
4algo
This will never happen to my 74 Targa
It'll pull/break head studs instead....
I had nein lives off eBay rebuild mine it failed after one year 1700 miles . Don’t honer warranties. Buyer beware
After hearing all these liquid cooled 911 problems I’ll buy an oil cooled car.
If they weren't 4x the price, everyone would.
sucks that i watched this.
You said a couple of times this is low miles (55k), but at 2:55 ou said it had a used engine put in in '05 or '06. That could have been a 100k + mileage engine.
Agree. What is says on the clock means nothing.
