Good job, did you use the factory bolts to put the new cat?

Thank you! You saved us some money and most importantly restored our Porsche driving experience

Hi, Appreciate this video. I tried the link for the part and got an error message. Help!. Thanks.

The Fauci science comment was the best part 😂😜

Thank you for the video. I have a problem with my original shade that does not roll back into the cylinder when retracting. The motor seem working properly. Is it an adjustment problem or some part need to be replaced? Thank!

I did not even realize the center console armrest was supposed to remain open when lifted. Love this fix! Thanks for the video. Just ordered the strut for my '09 SL55. Keeping it fresh!

I completely drained the coolant while replacing the water pump and the thermostat. I then filled it with Zerex G40 50/50 mix coolant using the tool and process shown in this video. The difference is that I also added the DRIVEN CSP additive for the coolant; the additive came with the water pump kit I bought from LN Engineering. Here is the big problem: 24mos and 5K miles later, my coolant is super cloudy with small clumps of something. This is obviously really bad since those clumps can clog the cooling system and the coolant might have become ineffective and start causing rust in the entire system. I understand that the cause for such cloudy/clumpy coolant can be from mixing incompatible coolants. In this case, the only mixing I did was the G40 and the DRIVEN CSP. I don't know if that additive is compatible with the G40 or not My next step is to flush the system and refilling it again. And just to be safe, I am avoiding any coolant additives.

Great video! Thanks for putting it out there.

Bon tutoriel. Cependant, personnellement de la 10w60 pour une GT Atmosphérique est beaucoup trop visseuse. La MOTUL 8100 X-Power 10w60 est plus adaptée aux moteurs Turbo. J'aurais fait l'entretien avec la 8100 X-Max 0w40 sur cette machine. Quant aux moteurs Supercharger je met la 8100 Power 5w50.

Why are you using the channel locks backwards 😂

Did you ever figure out the second gear issue?

You miss your 987.2?

Can you please refer what year is the Macan you performed the service Thank you

Does anybody know how to reverse the coding back to factory settings?

Need to get yourself a flexible funnel for the next one. Would work great to catch the oil from the filter.

I thought we made advances in oil filters and the ease of changing oil. This looks like we went back in time.

Thanks for doing this video. I've been on the brink of doing a coilover conversion but risking an accumulator change doesn't seem that difficult after watching this.

How sensitive are these PDKs with overfilling? I filled it running and it started throwing codes! Shut it off and checked off, and got about 1/2-3/4 qt.

Hey !!! I followed your instructions to the letter, I managed to repair my curtain of my targa! It cost me €50 because I had customs fees on the wheel. But I am really satisfied with the result, to be seen in time. It was even rather simple to have extracted it from the engine. Now I think I have saved a lot of money. Thank you very much from France 🇫🇷

I have 3 vehicles using these oil drain valves and one of them is a 2010 Porsche Cayman S. I measured the clearance from the floor to the undertray and it is 5 1/4" and 6 1/4" with the bottom of the oil sump & steel cross brace located @ engine/transaxle area. I've not hit the undertray on anything and due to engine location to rear wheel location; this includes speed humps.

Terrific videos! Can you do one on how to unblock the 997 Targa roof rainwater drains please? - Particularly how to get to and unclog the 4 that drain at the rear of the car and the location of where each drain exits under the rear of the car would be very helpful too. Porsche main dealer charges a fortune to do this unclogging job!

👍👍 great video

Every 987 taillight removal video just assumes that those "4-leaf clover" looking plastic things holding the interior trim piece in place just spin right off. Mine definitely don't. They spin, but don't budge. So I'm stuck before I even get started. I see that there's a reverse torx socket in the middle, but don't know if buying one will help the situation.

I’ve watched a couple of different videos on this filter replacement. So, I was prepared to decline the dealership form doing this part of the maintenance. $265 for brake fluid flush and $250 for system inspection. They would have charged $250 for replacing the filters. Wow!! But wholly cow, NAPA want $100 for the pair of filters. Good grief!

How did you get the other cross bracket off? I didn't see that part. Thanks.

I asked how much would it be to do a oil and filter change at my local shop and they said $620! Ridiculous!

Thanks for this video!!. I have a 2002 996 targa and If I may ask. When I press the shade button to open, the motor starts but does not quit. it goes all the way open and start to "try" to keep on going. the solution was to take the fuse out (D3) and wait for a while. then put it back in and hit the button close and it does close but i dont se that it could pause like you are doing. Any suggestions??

This is helpful, thx! Looks like video in motion isn’t available for all i3 Headunits.

Used this video to do an oil change on my CT4-V Blackwing. For anyone wondering, the oil filter (PF63) needs a 74mm 15 flute. Made the oil change a breeze. I made a bit of a mess but was my first time. Thanks for the video!

but still good job :)

autolite plugs on porsche? only beru or bosch for my porsche. oem plugs are even bosch

Thank you. Excellent presentation. Doing this soon to my 2010 987.2.

Almost finished with this job. Not. Fun. Any suggestions for tidying up the vacuum hoses/wires? There’s no spot on the plenum to connect and dangling hoses are never cool. And are we sure that just pushing that small hose on is going to last when Porsche thought it needed gluing? This aspect of this product is a disappointment. So many small things not considered. They could have cast spots to attach those electrical connectors for the vacuum lines. I had to reroute the larger breather hoses and so they too need tethering and again, you’re on your own. They didn’t machine enough off the throttle body connector pipe to allow an 8mm socket to fit all the way down to fully tight. Or at all on the bottom two bolts. We deserve a better product. IPD’s own instructions are poor as well. Sigh.

Great video!!!!

NOICE! 43k on a minty well loved 987.2 🤩

Thank you!!! I just finished fluid and filter change for mine, 2021 macan base. Opened the filling plug, then drained the rest, total 4.750 L. Then replaced the filter, and started filling up. I had a buddy helping with a little tube and a funnel from the top of the car. After 4.3L it started overflowing. Then started the car, changed gears and topped off another 200ml, total of 4.5L. I did not have the icarsoft tool, so how do i get the other 250ml in?. What I end up doing was to take the car off the ramps , then use only the driver side ramps, which tilted the whole car towards the passenger side. Then opened the fill plug, no fluid was coming out since the car was on an angle, added the rest 250ml, closed the plug and that's it. 4.75L out - 4.75 in. Please let me know if you think I did something wrong. Hope this helps other diy'ers. Thanks again for the detailed video!

Would you have the link to the room? Plz I have the same problem I think, I have the same noise of the video.

You indicated those bolts need to be torqued to 180nm which equals 87 Ft lbs. 180 nm equals 132 Ft lbs, not 87. 132 ftlbs seems inordinately high for a bolt such as that one. Wudda yah think?

Das Video hat mir sehr geholfen die Reparatur selbst durch zu führen - vielen Dank für das tolle Video.

has anyone had any luck finding this part? i am running into roadblocks trying to get websites to work/ship to US....

Which end of the Numeric cables is easiest (or necessary) to remove in order to install the IPD Plenum. Unfortunately I didn’t have the plenum when I installed the Numeric set. That rear driver’s side cable was an absolute bitch to install. I had to climb onto and almost into the engine and do it from above.

Thanks for this. Attempting this today on my SL55. One suggestion to everyone, have some electrical contact cleaner ready. Spray it on all connectors since you can see a lot dirt gets in them. You don't want to pull these mirrors apart again if there is a bad connection due to contamination.

Hold on! Your dealership is REPLACING your roof canvas over this? I have the same problem in m 981 Spyder and the dealership I bought it from said 'tough luck,' even thought it's CPO'ed. I'll have to check with my local dealership on this because replacing the roof out of pocket is $5k for the canvas alone. I'm curious to know what the staying power is of that glue, and what part of the country you're in. My fear is that hot summer sun exposure will cause this to just detach again.

Doesn't Auto zone require the container ? Or they have their own containers that you pour in the oil ?

Okay, another question - do you know what size the transmission oil crush washer is?

What are those jacks?

hello 2024, Do you still own it? can you do a update on the cost these years?

Technical aspect for those who don't know why the flat washers are under the screw heads is the friction force is not put on the the structure, just the clamping load, so the structure doesn't crack easily. The gauge faces look good.

I just realized that the o-ring from ox254 D4 is a bit smaller than the oem one. The oem one is 96x4.5mm and this one is 91x4mm. Not sure if it will leak or not, I will just buy the o-ring from the dealer to be sure.

Thank you so much for posting this, i have an 07 s65 and I haven’t done any abc parts yet, on;y changed the fluid and i have 108k for miles on her so I’m sure i will need something changed soon. I’m not very handy so I’m glad i got to see you do it so i know its too much for me, ill probably buy rebuilt, thanks again and best of luck! Beautiful car!
