5 Tools Every Porsche Owner Needs!

[@JJL206]

I'd also recommend that you keep a spare remote key battery (CR-2032), T-30 screwdriver (for engine cover access), tire pressure gauge, and touch-up paint pen accessible in the glove box.

[@Mckorzi]

You forgot to mention a vacuum cleaner. Your car definitely needs one🤷‍♂️

[@darrylrarmstrong]

Just a note. There are 4 drains holes in the battery compartment. 2 under the spoiler and 2 under the hood (where the wing and rear quarter meet) . Thanks for the trick fixing the elastic. Hobby craft Botley Rd it is, then back to OX18 !!😂

[@willbehindthecamera]

Thanks for the advise I'll be doing a big clean as its been my daily for teh last couple of months.

[@Hoster987]

I found esco jack stands to be more stable than "regular" ones....also the boost battery didnt open the boot for me while another car battery did...i think higher costant current is important

[@popeye9048]

I'd recommend a decent hoover, too 😂

[@willbehindthecamera]

Haha yeah I’ll finally clean this car one day 😂

[@AnotherBoxsterRoadster]

Thanks for the info!

[@MangaVation]

Why is his name not “Will behind the Wheel” Such a generational name😢

[@willbehindthecamera]

I have thought of changing it actually. This started off as a place i put photography. Ill see if I can change :)

[@willbehindthecamera]

Looks like someone has that name :(

[@MangaVation]

@@willbehindthecamera maaaaaaan listen. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity 😅 it just fits so perfectly

[@willbehindthecamera]

@MangaVation I’ll see if I can acquire it 😂

Great video Will. I have a fault reader for the exact same check engine light code which pops up if I don’t work the engine nice and hot. Ageing cats I’ve been told. Re the Frunk release, JR Garage have a whole channel on buying non starting Boxsters from auction and getting up under front wheel arch to pull a cable manual release for the front boot, so worth knowing that’s an option too 😊. Love the trombone cleaner and will pick one of those up myself now, thanks 😊 but don’t forget the rear drain holes from convertible roof too as they’ll soak the back of cabin and fry the module under the passenger seat if blocked.

[@willbehindthecamera]

Thanks for watching. I'll have a look at the Frunk release, helpfull to know incase i get caught out. I'll be cleaning all the holes as ihe had it parked under a tree for a few weeks. 😂

[@tinyrodent2821]

Great video, please could you fix the links in the description, you've linked the Trickle charger and Jump pack twice instead of the OBD scanner and the Jack

[@willbehindthecamera]

Thanks for watching and pointing that out, not sure what happened there. Should be fixed now

[@bcwatson0]

Hoover the area around the front and rear (convertible) drains every few months. This reminds you to check for rodents or ants living in the battery box. Hoover the front radiators too.

[@warrenlucier5796]

Add a wooly tire plug kit to the list too.

[@joshswan06]

Nice useful video I have a battery charger but leave it in the boot. Didn’t think about I can’t open the boot.

[@victoria19853]

The drainage thing is a common problem on all modern day Porches hardtop and cabriolets Also I wouldn’t recommend a cheap obd 2 scanner you would be better off to buy one that gives you the ability to reset service intervals and program certain electronics including the battery. If you are not planning to drive the car for a long periods you just disconnect the battery cables and don’t close the hood just leave the front hood slightly closed not fully closed if you are concerned about battery life even after you have disconnected the battery start your car once a week and keep it running for at least 20 minutes or drive it to your local grocery store also to keep engine oil in all the right areas to prevent bore scoring.

[@ol48spring]

What if I have more than five tools? Will that be ok?

[@oli_box25]

Nice video, +1 on the mobile jumpsarter!! sidenote: how are the nankangs? Been shopping for a new summer set and I can't bring myself to pay micheline money... Lol Cheers

[@willbehindthecamera]

Jump starter is a must. You’re in the situation I was in. They are pretty good and feel nice. I need some fresh rubber for my fronts and I’ll probably go nankangs.

[@delscorey8727]

Great idea for a video on the drain holes, thanks a lot Will

[@hawkinsjd11]

Get a quick jack. It is a life changer.

[@willbehindthecamera]

On my list they look great.

[@PhilTansley-t6x]

Also missed you at last Cotswold tribal....😢

[@willbehindthecamera]

Sorry I missed it I got back from holiday that night. But had a 6 hour delay and didnt get home in time. I'll be at the next ones 100% 😀

[@tinyrodent2821]

I've got the same booster jump pack and it's saved me after shutting the bonnet with a disconnected battery, and when the battery died. Something to note (note sure if it's specific to that jumper pack), but it didn't like me having it on the red fuse and the ground point, so I had to use the manual override button on it.

[@PhilTansley-t6x]

Will, where do you get the wire brush from ?

[@willbehindthecamera]

the brush was just a £5 off amazon. I'll link it in the description

[@JoeKing-e2e]

Tool number 6 - the driver.

[@gustaff.weldon]

It pains me to see the mess inside your car, get a vacuum cleaner :)

[@willbehindthecamera]

Thanks for watching. Ive got this comment alot. I think I will be doing a full indepth clean as I've let it get a bit bad 😁
