I Completely Rebuilt a Clapped Out Porsche 996 Turbo but it KEEPS BREAKING

[@thesearch9048]

Glad to see you continue to get the 996 Turbo sorted out. Don't forget to change those front wheel studs - they look bad sticking out so far.

[@matt13ross]

I'll get to it eventually lol

[@craigsmith1354]

If both abs and psm light it is the abs control module the black part on top of the abs valve body .the repair is around $250 bucks for a rebuilt unit with yours as the core return. Note : it's held on with 4 torx screws either 15 or 20 torx . Real easy 😅

[@matt13ross]

I believe it was just the MAF!

[@craftingmat5425]

I like the 996 Content. I joined you on the 996. More of that. Maybe dont go too wild on the power upgrades - now that this car is straight finally.

[@matt13ross]

Not too crazy no worries.

[@MrStlvette]

That’s awesome you finally found the leak! Congrats

[@matt13ross]

Yes! Thank you!

[@thomaselli01]

Really cool to see you perfecting the car. There are a lot of 80% finished projects, you prove them wrong!

[@matt13ross]

Thanks! It's still not quite there, but close!

[@jambom33]

Happy the 996 content is back! Speed yellow is the best

[@mikewf100]

All that snapping a bopping was weirdly satisfying 🤣

[@anthonybrand6137]

That exhaust sounds great & well done for sorting out that pesky air leak! 👍👍

[@atrain132]

I know you get tons of different suggestions, but look at your brake pedal switch for the intermittent PSM ABS if it returns. If not, I can't remember if you've looked at your speed sensor, or ABS sensors.

[@matt13ross]

Believe it was just the MAF!

Do yourself a favor and get a proper alignment at shop that specializes in alignments.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Omg, reliving nightmares of that clicking sound in the beginning of the video. Took me ages to get rid of in my M2 haha

[@rossmischnick]

Congrats finding that leak! Im having a similar nagging issue with my miata and it takes away from the pleasure of driving the car. I know how good that feels to finally resolve somehting like that.

[@matt13ross]

Feels great!

[@MyBallers]

Keep them coming Matt! Always look forward to your videos.

[@Onlooker71]

Had very similar issue with my 2013 Cayenne Turbo. It reported PSM Failure, but OBD-II scanner provided nothing useful. Eventually poked around and saw misfires, which led me to replacing coils and plugs. Bingo. Without a Porsche-specific code reader, you’ve got to be a real detective.

[@gibby3820]

FYI the brush issue is more to due with sediment being held in the brush. Applies to any washing cloth/brush etc. its just most commonly forbidden at the public brushes

[@deanhart8154]

“Oh crap” Classic - well done

Great editing on this one! Your channel is criminally under-subscribed!

Hi Matt, your front arms are on the wrong sides of the car! Swap them over left and right and the caster adjustment on the puck will work!

[@chavito305]

One day at a time, Ross! You got this

[@xsappliedtechnologies5388]

Matt, you should dedicate this channel to all things porsche. Possibly even getting different years/models of porsche as projects. I think you may find yourself with a larger more dedicated audience. Just my opinion but i seem to not be as interested when your working on your truck or BMW.

[@matt13ross]

What's weird is, the E92 is getting way more views than the other cars!

[@mavricxx]

I disagree, I love watching the BMW content as well. The Porsche is interesting too. But I'm just a car enthusiast.😂

[@TheRealEarlLeeRiser]

Have you ever had an issue with those quick jacks? I’ve seen others that have actually had cars fall so I’d be careful and use stands as backup

[@matt13ross]

Nothing major. I love them!

[@S2NAZ]

It’ll be interesting to see how you solve that wheel rub problem. If you did have it aligned I’d have never touched the camber.

[@matt13ross]

I didn't do anything I can't undo easily. Thankfully

[@WadeinWhiskey]

You’ll probably have to trim radiator brackets if the overall diameter of your wheels/tires is much larger than stock.

[@georgewoodland1766]

Great engine in the 996 Turbo, all the minor problems are fixable

[@charha01]

I have the same floor mats. My car came with the factory Porsche mats, but I live in WA state and with all the rain, there's no way I was going to run those. I needed something that was waterproof.

[@matt13ross]

It's nice to not worry about them for sure.

Matt. How is the suction in the vacuum? I’ve been thinking about getting one for Father’s day.

[@matt13ross]

It's good! Not super high suction like a standalone expensive unit, but it's great for the convenience

[@cheapcargarage]

Matt you have done an amazing job with this car! It was a roach when you got it. You have totally transformed it. I will say this as a car guy considerably older than you. The sooner you rid yourself of BMW’s the better off you’ll be! Ha ha ha

Fixed by the MAF!

[@sutherlacd27]

What's your wheel offset and width? You shouldn't be rubbing. And it doesn't sound like rubbing. It sounds like clicking which makes me think CV joints.

[@matt13ross]

Might be right. Might be CV. But def some.rubbing too. 18x9 and 12

[@sutherlacd27]

@@matt13ross how wide are the tires? If you are running 255/245 and 325/315 and you didn't have to do a little fender rolling in order to get them to fit then it's very possible you are rubbing. What are the offsets?

[@davidraeside]

I'm dealing with fender rubbing on my 987.2 Cayman in the same manner you are, I have the same Rennline GT3 control arms. I've heard that if you switch the arms left side to right side, the offset hole will be in a better position to reduce the caster. That being said, I have not tried it... this is just online chatter. Take it for what it's worth.

[@matt13ross]

I read that too. May try it!

In 2 years you can register it as a vintage car, and the money you save on insurance can be used to chase those “gremlins”. Hoovie use to say don’t fix everything, because that’s when something else will break.

Those little vacuum hoses are a nuisance for all owners eventually. When people drop the engine to do any work they should go through all those vacuum lines and zip tie all of them.
