MAT ARMSTRONG BROKE MY PORSCHE 911 GTS

After the highs of finally getting my crash damaged Porsche Carrera GTS back on the road last week, this week has definatly been the lows and the realisation that I might even be further in debit due to a broken engine! Even though I had a huge amount of help from Mat Armstrong, his dad, Phil, Chris and a few other it looks like the Nurburgring trip is off dyno a major turbo failiure! Sorry in advance for the long episode!

[@DenisAndCrystal.official]

I think it shows a lot of character that Matt is bringing up everyone that's around him. ❤❤❤ hi from America 🤙🏼

[@craigstewart7032]

Cant believe how calm you seem rolling with the punches from the car. Hope she’s up and running sweet for you soon👍

[@ianswann2792]

Great video with superb content. Hats off to you for working so hard to get her ready for the trip. I’m looking forward to part 2!

[@Sussexman.]

Mat is like the cool kid in school. Everyone wants him on there channel

[@marlenaroach9422]

PADM stands for Porsche Active Drivetrain Mounts. It's a system that's designed to improve the handling of a Porsche by reducing vibrations and movements in the engine and gearbox area. PADM combines the benefits of hard and soft gearbox mounts to provide more precise and stable handling during load changes and on fast curves. It also helps to maintain driving comfort on uneven roads.hope that helps.

"not come through the block yet"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Dubaiz4]

That piano beat.!🔥🔥😂

[@russwilliams7308]

Ouch. I can almost smell it burning from here. 😣🚗 💨

[@nickhigginsonmusic]

Good to see that despite all the crazy technology in modern cars, sometimes the old wood and hammer is still the way to go 😅 🔨

[@andrewchandler2752]

The smoke is a sign that a given fluid has evaporated or burned either on a heated engine component or at some point in being sent to the exhaust. In the case of leaking oil, it can also represent the failure of the oil-air separator to separate the oil from the waste gases

[@HalfdeadRider]

It's definitely oil getting either to the airbox, or directly to the exhaust somehow, makes you wonder if they checked the airbox. Does the Porsche have an oil air separator as standard? if so you could be onto something, but I'm not sure it does, otherwise it is likely the turbo as they suspect, but hey he has replaced both the turbo and PCV valve. Made me laugh that none of them seemed to know exactly what the PCV valve does 😂

[@Ruckus223]

Can't believe you lent Mat a faulty car 😂😂

[@R_RPerformance]

😂

[@anthonybennett6089]

Just had a turbo replaced on my 991.2 Carrera 4 GTS, looks like exactly the same issue. Oil pipes into the turbo leaking oil. Smoke on start up and sometimes under load. Pipes and turbo replaced under warranty otherwise the bill would have been eye watering.

[@BazBuilds]

Iv heard around 14k for both at a main dealer!

[@uzzisa1745]

This happened on my 911.2 4S a few years ago. The turbos are a common issue on the 911.2 gen. You can buy the turbos from Borg Warner directly for £2k a side. You'll need the oil feed lines too (it's actually those that cause this failure)... Well documented and known issue by Porsche...

[@danielberry1635]

Thanks for sharing, scares the s&&t out of me what can go wrong with my Carrera 4gts. Hopefully will never happen, appreciate the the filming and effort to make this, helps all owners with such good exposure and transparency. Personally I can’t go near anything without it breaking, I’m a dealership dream, they’re all I’ve got.

[@GT380man]

Excellent. I feel your pain, despite the humour. Trick machinery is that bit more fragile than a regular vehicle.

[@StoneBrothers-fk4xq]

Loving your relationship with your dad, priceles.

[@casanova2232]

Good for you boys hard work and dedication blessings to you your family and friends and associates 😉👍

[@sibonelwesihlemapelokumalo2293]

you just gained a new subscriber ... your song selection really hooked me.

[@markdoyle6414]

"It's like it's not moving," love that diagnosis.

[@nujabe]

You should double nut the stud with two bolts and tighten them together to remove the stud. Probably hasn’t reached you in time but that’s how you remove them.

[@w75525]

4:24 The same thing happened to my 991.2 Carrera 4 GTS last week. It's currently in the dealer for diagnostics.

[@askiff1415]

Yes unfortunately it’s a well known issue with the 991’s. A friend 991 Cab blew when in Germany and yes it was a Turbo related issue

[@w75525]

Fortunately I've got the extended warranty

[@w75525]

It was indeed the turbo. It was full of oil.

[@etaontime7375]

New subscriber… from MA …this is a really good collaboration ….epic content… Well done everyone 😎👌🏼

[@diggagt3574]

I was following one of these on sighting laps at the start of a track day at Silverstone last year and you could see fire coming out of the exhausts on the overun. I have seen another since also let go.

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

No probs, Mat and his dad will fix it in a jiffy! 🤗

[@scott7369]

Good luck Matt, getting that in the container, without damage

[@paulchinnery6560]

I'm thinking AOS from the first time it blew smoke.

[@djpar3492]

Never owned a Porsche but I knew that was an oil seal in the turbo in 2 minutes. Oil cools the bearings in the turbo, when the seal goes bad it lets oil into the air side of the turbo and the engine sucks it in.

[@chrismacdonald1826]

Same happened with mine, bought it in June from Porsche. 3 weeks later went on holiday to Ireland with it and the turbo blew and its current stuck in Porsche Belfast. 😡

[@ionelbanu4451]

That Porsche running like a Golf diesel 😂😂😂

[@weix4]

Uhh saw the bolt "rally" and imagine this is not even a very old car. I guess all the chemicals are killing the metal in winter😮 That's why I don't drive my 996TT X50 in winter in Estonia😬 good luck with the channel!

[@guy4469]

cant beleive how calm this guy is id be crying

[@simhal]

You can see the pain on his face.

[@MrTim360]

The failure is caused by the turbo oil pipes If you just replace the turbo it will fail again.

[@grahamfairbanks3407]

My dog loved the random squeaks.

[@BazBuilds]

Sorry I couldn't find anything else to hide the swearing!

[@yhshah21]

Interesting, it’s like the Porsche just decided f these spark plugs I want new ones.. normally when a spark plug deteriorates it does it gradually.

[@brianread9781]

You would think Porsche would put Galvanised nuts & Bolts on things like Turbos ! But Galvanised are Heavier than normal steel !

[@BazBuilds]

There a nightmare honestly! Some are hours of work to remove one!

[@saadmazdagh6488]

The crankcase ventilation system is blocked, or a tube could be cinked or smthng

[@paddyschannel217]

Great vid … only issue is the shaky camera and moving it around so fast … a bit off putting tbh fellas, …. Get a gimble stabiliser it will really help. 👍🏻

[@Tupac-bt3wm]

Poor mat trying to explain 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bonolomokgadi9025]

Mat has become Porsche expert 😂🥳🥳

[@keithgreen9009]

You showed exactly how difficult these cars are to work on

[@Cloud-lr9wn]

the turbo chargers go bad on the 991.2 models or it could also be the oil pump that doesn’t suck out the extra oil from the turbo oil tanks

[@glenpringle6906]

Same happened to mine, it was a cam sensor😉👍

[@HarryHarrisonUK]

Need to get PlusGas on those bolts

[@PDSmith89]

Sounds like it's got a Beetle engine fitted.... 😂

[@BazBuilds]

Exactly what I thought! 😂

[@danieldoherty919]

I bet he stop laughing when Matt left

[@gordonjohnston684]

Matt broke it Matt fixes it..

[@tumelomodisakgosi2103]

Sounds like a proper VW beetle air-cooled

[@sebastiansabin3]

Omg mats Dad is called Tony!! Cheers lads

[@phillipjknight]

Great video with no blame game proper car guys. 😂❤

[@luiscaceres9501]

😄Sounds like a 70-80's vw beetle.

[@jeremyflowers8908]

PADM=Porsche Active Drivetrain Mount

[@hishamsamsudeen742]

Great Success!

[@Redducati1199]

And thats why id take a N/A 911

[@BullyBoxer]

The false giggles are infectious.

[@buggeroff9]

Should have got @MatArmstrong to fix it. It would have made great content for his channel.

[@theenglishtrucker1849]

I cant believe Mats Dad has a name. Hows it going Tony? I thought you looked like a Dennis (The Menace) 😁😁

[@gordonjohnston684]

Replace the bolts with stainless steel one’s while you have the opportunity?

[@lukeriley1914]

it's the turbo,replace both

[@markR6.76]

Sounds like a vw camper van

[@peetjelieverd-ky3gb]

Mat knowledge of cars at all

[@MarcBirks]

been mapped by any chance???? 🤣🤣🤣 that would be the first thing id remove.

[@jeffwilton-love]

I've just found out Mat's dad is called Tony.

[@battlight3476]

Cheers Mat!!!.. Let u off? How many new subscribers 😮😮lolz

[@PatrickHemmes]

Normally mat repairs cars, but not today xD

[@c.k245]

John deere engine in that I'd say 😂

[@b4un0]

Don't worry, he just broke so he can fix it 🤣 everything going as planned.

[@martindavis925]

Filming engine underneath made me feel sea sick !,

[@talltexan4710]

Oil getting into turbo

[@philanderson7611]

Love the car stuff, but how about some videos from the bmw bike racing???

[@Con-Brio]

Turbos... Should have got a 991.1

[@jimventura99]

That cat looked wrong wouldnt it be best to empty it out

[@chrismartin7328]

Thought you had broke it couple of plugs happy days

[@anthonyg4671]

So you didn't watch the video to the end.

[@GT380man]

Coincidences do not happen. No way would two plugs fail at the same time. Therefore, there is at least one other problem which took out the plugs.

[@y0057]

Wonder the number of hours spent on the car. Were that costed, that would bankrupt an average punter 😵‍💫

[@eddherring4972]

Superb vid

[@askiff1415]

Is it the classic turbo problem that affects the 991’s?

[@MrTim360]

This will fail again The modified pipes come with new catch tanks also.

[@AlexCapi]

How does the turbo get to that state after 30k miles, joke for such an expensive car.

[@BazBuilds]

I know and it’s a massively common issue unfortunately.

[@talltexan4710]

He was trembling

[@lucverdaet2578]

padm = active engine mounts kaputt😮

[@NjengaBenn]

matt will rebuild

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Sounds like an LS V8, just as even idle.... 😂

[@chrismartin7328]

Bash it you buy it mates rules

[@kensteffes6712]

I Like when he says suckin (sucking) funny! Cheers!

[@curtisclarke1816]

Bit of content I reckon you should pick a random subscriber & upgrade his or her car 😅🙋🏻‍♂️🙋‍♀️

[@williamgalloway281]

Could be turbo seal issue

[@williamgalloway281]

Fix the oil leak.

[@micheallewis9105]

Turbo seal ???

[@cubeslt500]

PADM = Porsche's automatic destruction mode?

[@philipdavison3862]

Got to say tne engine looks like a real lack of servicing

[@lukeriley1914]

rebuilt kit,simple

[@Area32Audio]

Thank Mat for yet another subscriber 😂 7.1k + me

[@ian8802]

Why is it that mat is suddenly breaking people's cars everywhere?

[@henryriley6333]

Did it happen between 2nd and 3rd?

[@petrhoward]

What does the V stand for in the PCV valve?

[@bannerzone_UK]

Don't know why your apologising about a 'long' episode. For m3 I prefer 25-30 min episodes. Do a poll to see what the rest of your subscribers think.

[@officialmysteriousrider130]
