I've done regulators on a few of my cars, but my 996 was in the shop for some other work and I was all-too-happy to let them replace my bad regulator. Not a job I enjoy.
@motorsandmeats88 14 күн бұрын
One job I’ve never enjoyed on the 996 is the alternator removal. I think I ended up doing it 7 times on my old 996 and once on Bradley’s!

sync the Auto adjustment by holding the window switch down for 4 seconds than up all the way + four seconds or vice versa. Pretty rare for a regulator to fail in that capacity, not impossible they work or don't unless an obstruction of dirt,debri, or broken component preventing it to go all the way down or up. Unplugging and reconnecting will also sometimes help resync with the battery disconnected it resets once connected. 🤟🏁 #996brotherhood

I’ve heard that if the battery isn’t disconnected first that it can cause the airbag light to come on. I personally didn’t experience that, so I’m not certain. You may check if the iCarSoft scan tool can reset that airbag light. If so, it costs less than $375, and then you’ll have a great tool for future use.

I’m not sure what would be causing it not to come loose. It’s been a while since I did this job, so I just watched back through to see if I could jog my memory.

Amazing video!! Would have saved me 30mins to an hour if I started here instead of screwing with the starter/coolant lines for so long lol Early on in the project though, i accidentally broke one of the black corrugated tubes in half. (the longer of the two - you undid the first half of yours at 12:10 in the video) Do you have any suggestions on how I could fix that temporarily while I search for a replacement at a salvage yard? the replacement part is 150+ for this darn tube lol i believe it is a fuel vent line. black plastic outside, but lined with metal on the inside. I was thinking of using JB weld, but i'm new-ish to diying my car stuff and don't want to risk damaging anything worse because i'm not knowledgeable enough on it yet. you've already won my sub but i would greatly appreciate any advice on this if you have the time

I’m glad the video is helpful, and that really stinks about the broken tube! Those are for vacuum, so there’s no fluid or anything passing though them.

Those are also part of the vacuum system, and the duct tape kept things functioning til I could get a new one. Good luck, and thanks for the sub!
