Haven't seen the entire video yet But it absolutely makes sense to replace anything else that you can when performing this task, while you're there. Expensive job for dealerships/mechanics to do.

[@MrNanah38]

Always open the fill plug first before the drain plug, you dont want to drain the fluid and cant fill it up due to plug damage or anything else.

[@TomorrowsTek]

Thanks for the tip. I actually didn't think to much about it until i saw your message. makes total sense.

[@justinlangley9522]

On top of that releasing the top plug first generally releases the pressure thus increasing the speed the lower plug drains!

[@karnchanakarnchana8810]

Exellent youtuber.

[@romaellodfranco72]

Thank for such an informative video. I am passed 60k and not near the 120k mark and will have to do it shortly

[@TomorrowsTek]

Thanks for your support. Take care of your baby and she will take care of you 😀

[@johnwilson7444]

Supposed to be every 60 some say 40 so if it hasn't been done or like as in this case he didn't know definitely have to do it to have a peace of mind lol

[@Dmens]

Hello we did contact mars and he was so amazing my 2013 Porsche panamera turbo is all good again.. all thanks to your Pdk transmissions service video

[@TomorrowsTek]

That's great news. I am so glad these videos are making an impact. And very very grateful to have met Mars. He truly is a master.

[@fernandoandrade5225]

How do you get contact with Mars?

[@douglasmartinez2756]

So glad I found your channel. What software are you using? and is that something that one can buy? Thanks

[@TomorrowsTek]

Sorry I didn't see your message. Yes it's the piwis 3 software. I have a buddy who can get you the hookup

[@NICHOLASSTEINBACH-wz2im]

Me as well

[@colorxlabs7200]

@@TomorrowsTek would like to get the software and necessary things. Thanks for the videos!

[@johnwilson7444]

Very informative bro! 👌🏽

[@TomorrowsTek]

Thanks for the support my Brother

[@seandenny1553]

Thanks for doing this video I don’t think I’ll do the service but I couldn’t find The procedure anywhere to even see what it entailed. it it will be interesting to see what the lab results are on your fluid color that was a big difference also cool visual.

[@Amit-zz9yb]

I called the Porsche dealership and they want $1800 to do the trans fluid and filter change...I've changed all air bags, struts, control arms, compressor, valve block etc. by myself so yeah....I'll follow your video and do this too lol. I have the Launch X431 scanner and it has the trans service feature so I should be good. Fingers crossed....thanks for the thorough video!

[@BeardAxeMcAxeBeard]

Yea, I just did my timing chain and now getting transmission fault, doesn't want to shift correctly. I noticed the transmission fluid seems to be leaking. What a nightmare these cars are.

[@johns6331]

Very nice job on the video and explanation.

[@TomorrowsTek]

Thanks brother. Hope this helps

[@David.-_-]

These videos are fucking awesome. keep the car!!!!!

[@TomorrowsTek]

I love the car it's one if the nicest ones I've had. Just running out of content with it at the moment 😀

[@BeardAxeMcAxeBeard]

Holy goodness, I just did my timing chain, now right after getting transmission fault and a leak from the pan. Not shifting correctly. Does that make any sense? I swear they set these up for planned obsolescence. Thank you for the very thorough video. Keep it up.

[@werfamily9190]

Hey brother kick ass content! San Antonio here with a 2011 turbo Panamera just had for about 4 months with 52k miles on it and will definitely look forward for assistance nearing the 60k mile mark. Got a question, got a battery change and have 4 fault codes popping up now. Do you have access/ capability to removing/deleting them??? I was advised to go to dealership but that’s the last thing I’ll do. Went to a local shop who works on European and they quoted me $299 and will take 2-3 hours. Wondering if there is anything less than or if you know of someone who can do that. BTW sick ass C-10 bro, I’ve watched some of your other vids. I also have a 2003 single cab Silverado w some mods. Take care man and hope to hear from you

[@TomorrowsTek]

If you find yourself just north of Austin on a weekend let me know. Your battery needs to be programmed with the piwis and you will need to have the vehicle handover process completed more than likely.

[@werfamily9190]

@@TomorrowsTekwill do 👍🏽

[@irfansiddiqui2376]

Great video. Mine is a 2014 with 36K miles. Should I change the fluid since its been 10 years? If yes, can I just change the fluid and not the pan? If I am just replacing the fluid, do I still need to go through the programming? Thanks

[@TomorrowsTek]

Yes you can just do the oil for your first. You will still need to program

[@nothingaroundus_]

Thanks for making this

[@TomorrowsTek]

thanks for your support

[@팔팔-n8k]

Thank for a good informative video

[@seandenny1553]

I did have my 9/11 service at 40,000 miles because the spec says six years or 60,000 miles and mine was a 2014 and I was it eight years

[@TomorrowsTek]

Thanks for your support. I hope to get a 911 next. I might have an 84 model that had a little fire damage we may rebuild from the ground up.

[@KelWanders]

How did your oil analysis go?

[@torocars9227]

How much is transmission fluid and filter change on pdk at dealer vs local shop? Thanks

[@TomorrowsTek]

I did not bother to contact the dealer to get a quote. I live in Austin Tx our dealer is very overpriced. I can say it cost me around 700 in material to do it myself. I have googled the repair online. some say it could get upwards around 2k to have a dealer do the repair. it would be much cheaper if this is your 60k service and you do not replace the pan.

[@PhillipTieuChainz]

Panamera turbo 2011 here. When I click oil fill, it completes immediately and no noises or anything happens. Any idea why?

[@amadorcastillo80]

Thanks for sharing this work- Did you realize any change in how the transmission shifts once you replaced the mount? My panamera seems to jerk forward when taking off from a standstill and I am wondering if it could be due to my mounts being bad.

[@TomorrowsTek]

I did actually notice my car overall is not shaking as much on idle. I did a calibration on the transmission also so it just feels so much better overall

[@amadorcastillo80]

Nice- thanks for the feedback. I did check mine and they still look brand new. I went to the dealership and they told me this was a normal characteristic of the, do you feel like your jerks at times coming out of a stop?

[@TomorrowsTek]

@@amadorcastillo80 There is a feature that holds your car from rolling back on a hill. you will see a green light come on that will say hold. you may be experiencing this? it will have a jerking sensation when it releases the hold.

[@amadorcastillo80]

@TomorrowsTek Yes, that's only when I am at an Incline. It will turn on then off once I accelerate the car

[@damircrnkic963]

Hello i just did pdk service on my panamera and it took 10 qts when refilled. Did you measure final fill with car on idling or off? Thank you

[@Blkswan911]

Will this process work for a Macan with static suspension? TYIA for all the help!

[@1koadog]

where did you buy the PIWIS ?

[@TomorrowsTek]

I purchased mine from one of the China companies and do not recommend that you do the same. They are purposely configuring the piwis to break moduels on your car needing you to reach out to them for tech assistance at a steep charge. Check out my beware of buying a piwis video. I listed the best guy who to purchase one from

[@TheFacemelterx]

Hi! Love your content. I have a Panamera 971 and would like to perform the PDK service myself, I purchased a Piwis 3 and will be getting in touch with Mars to make sure its programmed right. Do you know if the instructions are the same for my 971? If not can you point me in the right direction? I can't seem to find a guide on rennlist either. Thanks in advance

[@Darachay]

I agree with rubbers or plastics in all cars don’t last more than 5 years specially in Arizona Elemnts eats the car alive

[@chrisbridges3561]

Hey great jobs explaining. Where are you located. I have a 2011 pan4. The car went into limp mode the morning we got up to go to church. The car made it home the day before fine. It was the next morning when everything went haywire.

[@TomorrowsTek]

i am in temple texas north of austin

[@cinu20]

Hello, do you check the oil level when the engine is running or do you check it when the engine is turned off?Piwiss, ignition on, engine on, off and check the oil level. The Pdk has a dry oil sump, so only when you start the Pivis and disengage the clutch can you see the oil level?

[@NICHOLASSTEINBACH-wz2im]

After the fluid change is all done and you've been driving for a while just curous what the normal temperature ranges are for the transmission fluid haven't been able to find any good data specific to panamera pdk

[@TomorrowsTek]

that actually not a bad question. Ill hook up to it this weekend and drive it around to see where its at

[@NICHOLASSTEINBACH-wz2im]

Also when you do the oil fill mode and then get back underneath to add more fluid in, is the engine still running?

[@artkretzschmar254]

'14 Panamera 4, sometimes if I mash the pedal the engine will race but the trans does not engage until the rpm's drop back down... missed shift or something else???

[@TomorrowsTek]

Mine did that a few times when I first got it. I have not really had it happen again since I calibrated the PDK.

[@thomashelm6931]

Oh! Hey John, do you have any ideas on how to change the vent/trim piece in back of the front tire in the front fenders? Located under the side markers Thanks!

[@TomorrowsTek]

Mine were missing when I got it. But I'll make a point to order some up here soon. I got laid off from my tech job in January, I just now landed another job, so shouldn't be to long and I'll be buying more parts 😀

[@misosour]

Thanks for sharing. How many bottles did you use? A little over 6?

[@TomorrowsTek]

To be quite honest. I wouldn't worry about a bottle count. Just make sure your car is level. Just fill her up until you have just the slightest amount coming out of your fill port.

[@misosour]

@@TomorrowsTek I got that part from your video. Just need to know how many bottles to order. I think you started with 9, but ended up with 3 leftover? So I’m thinking maybe order 7? Btw I reached out to Mars. Thanks again for uploading. Good stuff!

[@TomorrowsTek]

yea you could try 7. I think they hold on average 5.5 liters @@misosour

[@1Gaumer]

Did you notice any difference in the transmission after performing this service?

[@TomorrowsTek]

Yes. I thought I broke my transmission doing an auto cross run with the local pca. After the maintenance and calibration it’s running better than when I bought it.

[@1Gaumer]

@@TomorrowsTek Just did this today. Yep my mounts were toast - Only thing different with the pan change for some reason mine took 10 Liters of fluid. any way thanks for the video it was a huge help.

[@TomorrowsTek]

@@1Gaumer Awesome. glad this helped you Brother. hope that beast is purring like a kitten now.

[@bartdabek6391]

How many miles did yours have when you did this?

[@bartdabek6391]

Nvm I just seen the end (120k) 👍 Mine has 48k about to do this early

[@TomorrowsTek]

I was right at 120

[@bartdabek6391]

I’ll let you know how the fluid looks like at my mileage. Did you do the calibration yourself?

[@TomorrowsTek]

@@bartdabek6391yes I did calibrate myself

[@Dmens]

Thanks so much for this video.. I just bought a piwiss and had wanted to change my transmission fluid.. my Panamera turbo 2013 had a front end collision which busted the line for the transmission cooler in the front… I’ve got the line replaced and needed to add some fluid to the transmission, will you advise I replaced it with the pan ? It’s in a limp mode now

[@Dmens]

Also it’s showing a code p1872 after it went on a limp mode… I didn’t have the piwiss tester when a added the fluid… I bought one after seeing your video hopefully it will help in getting my panamera back to the way it was.. any advice on the code p1872. Thanks

[@TomorrowsTek]

I'm not sure I'm following you 100% are you asking if you should replace the pan? or your saying you did replace the pan?

[@Dmens]

Hello thanks for the reply I’m asking if I should change the pan ?

[@TomorrowsTek]

@@Dmens how many miles are on your car now?

[@TomorrowsTek]

@@Dmens the 1872 is common when your transmission control module is out of calibration. if you are in this position you probably will just want change drain the fluid if you have not done so already do the pan and filter then perform a transmission calibration. if you have 1872 you probably can not shift it out of gear right?

[@Foxtrot1967]

Great video. What adapter are you using between your laptop and obd2? I have the PIWIS installed on a laptop.

[@tonycortez4009]

What kind of phone mount is at?
