That rubberized undercoating is death for cars. It traps moisture underneath and corrodes from the inside and you have no idea until it starts falling apart. South Main Auto did a video on this. The only kind of rustproofing you should ever use is the oil based kind. Avoid anything with the rubberized undercoating like the plague.

[@bobmcl2406]

So true. When Ziebart started, back in the 60s, their product formed a rubber-like skin. Over time, it developed micro-fissures which allowed water in, but did not allow it to escape again. The water remained trapped against the metal, and actually accelerated the rusting process. To be fair, Ziebart has improved massively since then, but I typically choose a liquid spray treatment, such as Krown. I live in the Canadian rust belt, so I do have real world experience, sigh.... 😔

[@quentinc1275]

@@bobmcl2406 I personally use cosmoline but krown and fluid film are both great as well. I know someone with an 08 silverado with 150k miles which has frame rot in multiple places and a ton of rust on everything underneath which all can be traced back to it being ziebarted around the time it was 5 years old.

Missing the front belly pan on the 928. Timing belt is more than 2-3 hours. More like 5 -10 depending on how far you go. Rebuilding the tensioner is an interesting part of the job. Don't lose the spacer (washer) under the tip of the belt tensioner. They tend to fall off when removing the tensioner and go unnoticed on the shop floor. But the belt was done last year. A tension check and adjustment each year would be a good idea. That's relatively easy to do in an hour or so.

[@Bill-mp2up]

Hoovie - you have a great 928 but just be aware there's a risk of frying the LH ECU (fuel injection control unit) when jumping off a donor car. It can be done but the later LH computers (+87 onwards) are particularly sensitive to voltage spikes. Preferred method is to disconnect and put some charge in the battery first, but if stranded do what you gotta do.

[@bushwood]

Very true statement. I always panicked when my 89 needed a boost. When you have to, make sure the rescue car is turned off. I never fried mine, but did have the ECU rebuilt. Maybe I only toasted it. There is a temperature sensor on top of the engine that caused a power drain issue for me. Made the cooling fans run constantly. Cheap fix.

[@TheTardis157]

Any original LH2.3 that hasn't been rebuilt is on borrowed time. The factory hybrid tile circuit it has loves to dry out and fail. Multiple people have a workaround for it. But at $600 it isn't cheap. The rest of the computer is fine and doesn't care about voltage spikes, just that one stupid circuit (speaking from experience).

[@markedwards4879]

Check the tension on the rear clamp for where the torque tube connects into the transaxle. The bolt stretches and loses tension, which results in damage to the actual driveshaft and the input shaft on the gearbox. It’s an easy, 2 minute job to check and a cheap bolt to replace fairly regularly as a preventative maintenance item. I drove my 928GT for 16 years and sold it with 424k km on it. Absolutely fantastic car if you keep on top of it.

Beautiful 928! I have an 05 Silverado. Evidently, the original coating on these frames was a wax based material that is supposed to be reapplied whenever it is necessary (according to the dealer). I scraped off the wax and applied black Cosmoline wherever I could, including inside the tubular cross members. I would suggest someone inspect the rear-most cross member for corrosion where the spare tire bracket is attached. Mine failed (it corroded on the top where I couldn't get to it). When it does, the spare will drop out of the truck and drag on the road. The spare is held up with a hoist. The hoist has a "feature" that prevents it from dropping, unless there is a lock that is released on the hoist. This is lots of fun when it happens to you in a rain/snow storm, at night, laying in the mud on the side of the road I had to get mine towed because I didn't know about the lock. There are videos on YT about the hoist and how to modify it to "fix" the lock. Check yours out if you have one...

If the Wizard is as thorough and honest with other customers' cars as he is with Hoovie's...he's gotta be one of the best mechanics on the continent. I'd happily trust him with any of my cars

I always like hearing you say how grateful you are to have what you do.

[@stephen3164]

Out of all people, you should carry one of those company battery jump starters that also work as a cell phone charger. Fit in the glove box. Also, I would just assume you installed 16 truckle charge leads in your garage, and put quick connect plugs on each battery so when you park it, the battery stays charged. Heck, since the pandemic started, I’ve installed 3 myself!

Car Wizard smiling ear to ear giving the big thumbs up as Hoovie pulls into his garage, mo money in my pockets, man my yacht is going to be so luxurious on the waters this summer thanks to Hoovie. 😆

I have some 928's. Easily one of the most expensive cars to keep running. It's no wonder it never managed to replace the 911. However, when the 928 is set up and running well it's one of the most pleasing cars to drive.

Ohhh how I love the rust belt nothing better than listening to the metal rot on a quiet winter night

[@vegascourier5231]

My dad had a 1994 z71 that he took in water up to the hood and plowed snow with it and later used it for work and the framed rusted to much. Didn’t have the time to fix it so he sold it to a buddy who’ll fix it. Pretty good truck

If you think that rattle in the door is bad lol my brothers 97 xk8 clunks rattles shakes and thunks every step of the way from closing a door to hitting it to get to highway speed. but the tops works the engine is strong and the transmission is great.

Ah, memories... I was driving a borrowed VW 1303S Beetle (with an engine that had started life as a 1500, btw), and stopped for petrol. Filled up, good to go...only I wasn't. Turned the key, no reaction. Thankfully, the ground was ever so slightly sloped from the petrol pump and out onto the road. So I was able to get into the car, keep the door open and give a good shove with my foot on the ground, and the car started rolling. I had the engine going before exiting the station.

When the sunny days return, you ought to give us a full garage update. Take 5 videos to go through the entire collection including a drive of each. You won't have to buy anything to make 5 videos or fill the Wizzard's yacht with fuel.

[@CincinnatiDan]

You are fortunate to have what you do but mostly because you’ve worked your butt off, taken risks, developed professional relationships with good people, and created something nearly 1.4 million people tune in to see.

[@deep6thisdeep6this92]

a couple of months ago i had a car shipped in a covered hauler from boston to san francisco (4000 miles?) for $2100. with gas at $5.50 a gal out here i imagine it's quite a bit more now.

[@okiegrad2007]

Nothing worse than dead battery when you jump in and are ready to roll and click click click…… Just have to say, Hoovie filling out those jeans especially well in this video!! Those buttons were really straining 😍😍

[@michaelmaldonado5680]

[@martinschopf1237]

[@troyammons9994]

928s. I have owned 4 of them over the years. And in general, you have to work on them about once a month or less if you daily drive them. Parts are high. And they are maintenance pigs. They eat rear tires. Rear tires last about 1 year. In the 4 cam cars, you have to pull the motor to replace the brake vacuum booster. If you ever have a chance, look at the back of the fuse and relay board in the passenger side foot well. Its a mass of all black wires and a nightmare to trace. I had a friend that bought a low mileage 928, and then proceeded to spend $4k fixing electrical gremlins. As a note, the early 4.0 liter motors are non interference and are 8:1 compression. I turbocharged one, and that was fun. With 5 speed cars, the clutch master is near impossible to bleed. Very difficult. The automatic transmissions are bullet proof but you have to fill the reservoir from under the car.

[@stevemyers2092]

why not put that shrink wrap on the cabrio? then you can put them both on an open trailer - (boat shrink wrap- white)

[@KingSobieski]

I think the issue is the tubes are closed parts and fill with mud and salt.

[@EndlessMoneyPits]

Oh man, what a day. I haven't worked on a Porsche yet but I have a feeling this is in my future...

[@TheBaritoneCrooner]

I think the generic name you’re looking for on the Porsche’s body color is “Mauve”! A VERY popular color in the 80s.
