Yes, the customer’s original concern was remedied as a result of the repair Yes, I should’a, could’a, would’a!

[@timothycooney986]

Experience combined with intelligent troubleshooting = correct repair. This young man continues to impress.

[@DTEAuto]

Thanks for the simple but effective way of explaining and showing the voltage issue

[@djmobileauto]

To put this car in service mode is like pressing up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,B,A,B,A, select start. Contra Nes style😅

[@htownblue11]

Great strategic diag there Mario. Always learning from you man.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Mario. I have NEVER seen such a cheap, chinsey, low bid type of worthless battery cable connection like that! And believe me, I've seen a lot! That is B S engineering for a supposedly HIGH DOLLAR (or German Mark) vehicle, nevermind the fact that the cable supplies power for the entire vehicle ESPECIALLY the starter! What A Pile! Thank you Mario for your "Get to the root cause diagnostics" and this video. Instead of using a DMM for voltage drop, you proved right where the problem was located with the jumper box! Great!

[@spelunkerd]

That's a ridiculous amount of effort to simply gain access to the motor.

[@deplorablelibertarian]

Just make fix and repair videos like this, and this channel will get popular really quick.

[@guateque1718]

I find that most modern porsche problems can be solved by replacing the car with something well made.

[@shoosh9996]

lol

[@tracycolorado]

Just a glorified Volkswagen

You got it @guateque1718

[@neverstoplearning382]

Nicely done Mario.

[@Doug....]

Nice concise thinking Mario. 👍👍

[@brizax]

This is why I trouble shoot with jumper cables / ground to ground etc

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video.

[@High_Tech_Mountain]

Always good seeing ya brother! Great video! Service mode is a few steps huh lol As always, thanks for sharing!

Enfin des vidéos de diagnostic merci 👍🇦🇱

Saludos amigo.....excelente

Duuuuuuude you the man 😮

[@luigigonzalez5062]

German engineering at its finest. Lets make the positive cable black and make an over complicated connection at the fire wall so it looks like a ground cable 👍

[@robertochavez5162]

Good master mario

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Ayyyyyyyyye

[@speedy_pit_stop]

The non-stop rain for a couple days earlier this week is surely why the car finally quit cranking. I'm glad it's over.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Came in before that!

[@isalmankhan1]

Great work as usual BRO👍🏻 That's a cool car, you're a blessed Man you fix these awesome machines😎 Why was there so much residual oil on the intake hoses, I've seen this on diesels but not on a gasoline engine, is it bcuz of weak turbo's? Thanks for sharing BRO, Stay Safe👍🏻

You are a G

[@Ddprescot]

Mario, are you recommend for buying any Porsche for your friends?

[@dimension2788]

❤I have a 2015 Cayenne and the rubber molding at the top of the engine compartment wont stay put in the middle..... Any Ideas? Thanks Again!

[@grabovg]

Great video and great diagnosis using simple tools love it. I would like to like this video but currently if I like it, I become the 666 like and I can’t do that.😂

[@crashoverride328]

11:20 - close, but it still doesn't rule out original battery ground terminal to body as a voltage drop source.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

10:39 actually it did

[@crashoverride328]

@@SuperMarioDiagnostics Only if the jump pack is connected between the original battery ground terminal and the positive jump point, by connecting the jump pack to the body you rule out engine to body ground, but not the original battery to body ground. Running a test light from battery ground to engine and from battery ground to body while attempting to crank is a quick valid test of the whole ground system, and the jump pack test you did confirmed it was a definite issue with the connection from the battery to the vehicle, but it could just as easily have been the ground connection between the battery and it's first ground point that was the cause.

[@crasher88]

I hope you charged that customer .5 of labor just to put that vehicle into "service" mode. That is insane. Its funny Chrysler has recently been using very similar connections on their negative battery cable terminals. The first time I saw that I though to myself how long will it be before that causes a no start.

[@mertylmaz1605]

Hey Mario, I have a different problem, my car is a 1997 Porsche boxster automatic, the battery of the car died, I charged it, then this problem came up, I turn on the ignition, the screen is working, everything is working, I press the starter, there is no movement, only the relay sound is heard, the car does not start, sometimes it starts with only one start, I drove it for a long time without stopping the engine. There is no problem, it still doesn't work when it stops. By the way, I changed the ignition switch and it was fixed. It stayed in place for 15 days. The car has completely drained the battery. Now it is not working again. I removed the ignition relay and connected it directly. It starts, but the car does not start. Can you help me?

[@peters1821]

I think it's a known issue on these and on the 911s.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Still requires testing and proof, right? Especially if it’s a customer’s car

[@peters1821]

@@SuperMarioDiagnostics For sure it does! Thank you for sharing!

[@richardcranium5839]

could have pinpointed that with a meter

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

My way is cooler

[@PaulCTownsend]

I greatly appreciate your videos and knowledge but as far as that car goes I wouldn't give you a nickel for it.

[@doughirsch9930]

987 not 997

[@richardcranium5839]

no wonder thier tanks were always breaking down the engineering is waaaay too complicated

[@shotgundiagnostics]

Hahaha another euro with water draining issues
