REBUILDING A WRECKED 992 PORSCHE GT3 REPLACING PYRO FUSE SERIOUS TROUBLE (PART # 2)

[@raymondgrieger9267]

That pyro fuse situation is clever work by Porsche. Means greater repair costs which equal more write-offs which equals more replacement sales.

[@attilamerter6410]

it was a hard job, but it's a child's play for you. You are doing these rebuilds so nice my friend. have a nice time and take care. it's so cool to watch.

[@lnccollision]

Thank you my friend!

[@Pboy7272]

15:40 That collection of nuts and bolts is impressive!!!

[@garnetheron4885]

For marking stuff I use nail polish that I read from my daughters to mark the different wire connections in different colors so I don’t mix them up

[@WriterandPhotographer]

Mat Armstrong also found out that Porsche engineers did not make getting to the pyro fuse easy. What were they thinking? They got everything else right. If you buy a salvage car with a deployed instrument panel/passenger air bag, be ready to also remove the dash board.

[@remie4494]

Mat Armstrong had to take all the dash apart on his, which he sold to Tavarish, but he found out the Porsche sells the entire fuse box just to get the Pyro Fuse, but you could've found the Pyro Fuse just by itself without the fuse box. And the aluminum cage has a bolt securing it in the frunk side. I wonder how Porsche puts that in. I have to see that..

[@jovanjevtic1707]

😢😢😢😢Osobe ja kitim to bi

[@stepheninge2173]

The frunk side bold is called a "Hannah Bolt."

[@cuk5506]

As a german, being known for perfectionist when it comes to car engineering, I feel very ashamed to see what efforts it takes just to replace a fuse. The serviceability manager at Porsche should be fired. Anyhow, I also have the experience that in eastern Europe one will find very good handcrafters, and you are a good example for it. Great job.

[@arnelpijuan7618]

The Dr knows every supercar in and out. You know you are in good hands when LNC is working on it.

[@invellopllc9031]

Hi Vlad, I know this might sound unbelievable but dashboard comes out much more together than how you dismantle it. If you look at the Porsche manufacturing video they put the whole dashboard in the car when it is assembled. That is why the bolts screw from the outside not from inside. Can you please check if that is the case? I had to replace dashboard on another car and though I had to take the whole dashboard apart but just needed to get glove box compartment off and then some other panels to get to the dashboard frame bolts, than it’s was unhooking main harness and it came off together with the steering wheel etc….

[@rickwhite3757]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5CwY6J9hc1nr8U. shows how it is done.

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

I've always wondered with jobs like this (removing the entire dashboard in pieces) why it has to be done in this fashion, when in the factory most dashboards arrive on the assembly line pre-assembled, and are lifted into the car by a carrier, and then simply bolted in place (using only a few bolts). At least, that is how many videos of car assembly lines show this process. The workers definitely do not assemble a dash out of a 100 individual pieces, they absolutely don't have the time, as they only have minutes to do the install, before the next car arrives on the line. So why do you have to take the dash completely apart (down to its individual bits) to remove it? The location of that pyro fuse is absolutely ridiculous. Gorgeous car though, and I admire your care and meticulousness in fixing this rare Porsche.

[@rickwhite3757]

[@howardgore9807]

Vlad.. you are a very patient person to take apart &put back together a whole Interior for one part. You said you took two days. Pretty sure Porsche dealership would have taken there sweet time to stretch the cost. Your the doctor.

[@LivingWaterEternal]

I think the car companies especially the high end cars purposely bury the pyro fuse to drive up repair cost to make the car totaled so the owner can get a new car. Its so easy to locate that switch relay in an easier spot. So cool you and your dad work together!!!

[@arturikg5716]

Прям тоже порадовался вместе с Владом когда машина завелась 😊🎉

[@glennrussell3252]

As I said in the past, he's a really great mechanic (beside being one of the best body men in America). Super smart guy!

[@enriclibert545]

Mucho trabajo para un fusible pyro.💪🏻💪🏻

[@peterlloyd6337]

As already commented Matt Amstrong on KZbin had to do exactly the same - take the dashboard out! - great work LNC!

[@NomadicCratic]

Great work man. It takes a lot of skill / patience to do what you did. Can't wait for part 3.

[@ctvette1318]

Incredible what they put you through for a fuse!! Great work!!

[@johnmainolfi8054]

i marvel at your patience and knowledge and demonstrate what those traits can do. keep on keepin' on!

[@rommelmanalo1274]

I think Matt Armstrong also did the same thing. on his GT3. You could have reference to that. But I know you can do it Vlad. Watching from Regensburg Germany.

[@garnetheron4885]

You have not posted anything you lately so I resorting to going back and watching some of your old videos starting from the beginning of this one keep them coming, buddy

[@andersekstrand2028]

Great work Vlad. Glad the car started.

[@NathonDrake]

Great work, I like this project a lot! I have experience in replacing heater radiator and on VAG it's the same exact way, now or 20 years ago! Love your videos DR. Vlad! Keep going ! Greetings from Bulgaria!

[@shelloiluk]

I had a 2020 992 S it got t boned in the front so I got it fixed and sold back to Porsche. Next car is a 992 GTS. I’ve had 5 Porsches so far love them.

[@simonblunden2151]

Beautiful car, beyond impressed with your ability to pull that all apart and reassemble. How on earth do you remember where everything goes??

[@siliconvalleyengineer5875]

wow I was impressed with your tear down and reassembling of the dash.

[@MrLakker9]

You can change the pyro fuse without taking off the entire dashboard, but it's very difficult and time consuming doing it in very tight space, but it's doable

[@tjmaclean]

Amazing work on this! Dr. Vlad in da house!!

[@davidalexandreg]

Nothing can stop you my friend

[@wcads623]

Never had any doubt it would start Vlad 😁😁 As always you Knock it out 😎😎and no fixings left over 😁😁

[@paulbateman3001]

I was the dash man some years ago but that was a great job would like to do one of them myself well done no parts over a great feeling

[@robinsheldon899]

For the average Porsche owner, the dealer quote of $6500 for this job sound like a deal considering the amount of work and tooling needed to handle this job.

[@zizou9337]

Bro I’m super excited to see the Porsche fully fixed, ready for the weekend 😄❤️

[@ray5961]

That's insanity. I'm sticking with my 1990 Toyota Pickup.

[@brasileiro9864]

Big Trouble/Big Pro. Congrats!!!

[@S2NAZ]

What a ridiculous design. BUT, German cars always seem to have some part that’s impossible to reach that involves a major disassembly. I was really holding my breath when Vlad finally decided to try the key 😮 Glad it started 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 As an afterthought, I’d probably have come up with a way to hold the pyro fuse outside the mount so the next guy could easily replace it if needed.

[@GV23wolf]

Beauty car and perfect color. Bravo mr Vlant

[@QuietStormX]

Dash goes in as a unit...

[@juliocaverna4278]

Feliz Natal meu amigo, fiquei com pena só de ver o trabalho todo, desmontar o carro todo pra trocar um fusível, podia até ser um pouco mais trabalhoso kkkkk

[@KrzysztofKopczyński-s1q]

Hehehe, what a mess... And first it looked quite easy, to replace the airbags unit. Good luck! :D

[@randymackintosh6559]

Love Porsches...but that is pretty much an unacceptable design...that's dedication pushing through that!!!

[@warrenjennimgs5285]

How many nuts or bolts were left over LOL WELL DONE .

[@peterlaskiewicz8252]

Wow, I am about to replace my dash on my 991.1 Gt3 RS. Found your channel watching the 991 R dash removal. This looks many more tines terrible.

[@DRSBCATHEY]

Does either 991 model have the pyro under the dash or are they up front?

[@semihyilmaz4699]

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of marker ( the tellow marker) are you using?

[@davym44]

Fantastic video. Thank u for sharing. 👍

[@AndyWJP]

Goes to Porsche dealer to buy a fuse, that'll be $6500 mate. Anyway, great work Vlad!

[@hansnordlander2618]

Really impressed by the work you do on the Porsche❤❤

[@danfarmer5613]

Great job Vlad, man you have a lot of patience.

[@jvyours102]

Challenges once again doc... But your patience makes perfect like nothing ever happened

[@heldermartins3787]

OMG so many work to a small piece!

[@pcar928fan]

Love that color so much! Make mine a Turbo S though!

[@pedroalamos6443]

Hola from Chile, just I can say Vlad " Oh My God"

[@R0B__]

Vlad, you should have watched Mat Armstrong Vlogs for changing the Pyro fuse on LZ's porsche GT3 which adam was a little bitch about firming it with Mat. How much did you buy the porsche for?

[@cubademone]

You are the man Vlad, a real subject matter expert on all things relating to premium vehicle repair.👍 Sure would to have you repair my vehicle?

[@lnccollision]

Thank you my friend, come on by any time

[@cubademone]

Thanks, V. As soon as I find the particular vehicle I’m looking for you will be the first one I contact for advice on the rebuild brother👍 Until then, keep knocking it out of the park!

[@luisalbino7799]

Felicidades hermano lo lograste no tenía ninguna duda todo lo que te propones lo haces y en el camino enseñas a otras personas por eso un 👍

[@whateverrrrrr123]

Best Christmas Present for yourself

[@BudStoner]

Vlad, your IQ must be in the 150 range! Plus, you are an incredibly patient man with unbelievable automotive knowledge. You have brought hours of pleasure to an 82 year "car guy" in SC. Tip of the top, best of the best, 12 0n 10 is my best description of your shop and you! Rock on dude......Bud in SC

[@jiwik731]

The location of the fuse itself should be a reason to totall the car. :D

[@ht1863]

That was pretty interesting to watch. How many total hours it took you to remove and reinstall the dash?

[@lnccollision]

About 30 hours

[@PetetG]

Most mere mortals would have given up. But not Vlad. Awesome.

[@leonk8113]

How do you remember where each screw came from???

[@paulobatts]

Great job Vlad!!!

[@Bobby-uv1xf]

😮 wow more heart surgery from Vlad ..... Fantastic work as always ..... Support from England 🙏

[@matthewbell1968]

Holy crap what a job Dr Vlad 😟😟😟😟😟

[@tomswindler64]

Great video,only way to figure it out,you gotta take it apart.great job as always.very nice car,great color.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@microguard]

Great video Vlad!!

[@harrywoldman8866]

I would made directly a bypass for this Pyro Fuse on a Easy place in the car...

[@magellanmax]

Germans are known for over-engineering their cars making them a hassle to work on and expensive to fix. Love the content Vlad, keep 'em coming!👍🏾

[@carlosbrazao6039]

No problem for you Vlad!

[@FaYaBeheer]

❤ i am happy for you! Greats from Netherlands 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@garnetheron4885]

Why would they barrack so deep under the dash?

[@juniorcuritibano]

Ochen kruta! 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ivanbabun9171]

Greetings from Bremen,Germany Vlad

[@DarkTouch]

idk how you can keep track of all the small parts. all put back together but you have three screws you don't remember where they came from... ???

[@bruno_mm_goncalves]

Bom vídeo excelente parabéns 🎉🎉🇵🇹👍🎄🎄

[@SuperTomcatUk]

While there move the fuse!!

[@gaylonwimsatt1630]

Vlad write down the part number off the old pyro switch and next time google the part number and you will find you can buy it for about $35.

[@makkiahmed5008]

You did a great job ❤

[@SweetSpot909]

so basically if the airbag goes off it's totaled. That is so much work to replace all the airbags.

[@germanautoresort]

It would be nice if you could share the part # off that pyro fuse.

[@bollevw9918]

You make a perfect job 🥰👍

[@jimmypratt6450]

Who ever decided to place the pyro fuse in that area wants a slap big time !!!

[@zbynekskrampal8530]

Definitelly! But it’s just german (over)engineering: why do it simple? 😂

[@lnccollision]

😂😂

[@jonviol]

Well done !!!!!

[@ArtFreeman]

Wow. This is a puzzle

[@basilkassim]

Aftèr changing the fuse why you did not reloçated it in much more convenient eeasy access location ?! 😁

[@jackdawkins3039]

So Vlad, where is the ‘fun’ in this job?

[@lnccollision]

Another Lego puzzle 😅

[@rickwhite3757]

Check out 'Response Motors' channel ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5CwY6J9hc1nr8U ). He did a 992 GT3 dashboard removal in one piece. Much easier than this or Matts attempt.

[@toyhunt6268]

Are you going to do a cost video of how much you paid and how much you put into it parts and such..

[@Zeromus10]

You are a magician, Vlad!! Love watching your vids and the superb work you do! 👍👌👏😄 Congrats on nailing that fuse!! Niiiiice!! 😊👏

[@AdamCichanowski]

Jak masz cel remontu tego 992 Gt3. Robisz Porsche dla siebie.😊😊Pozdrowienia z europy😊

[@jean-lucluis]

Good job 👌

[@tuomasholo]

Good lord that’s a lot of work just to replace the pyro fuse.

[@psv1600]

🙃🤪How you do to remember where all the bolts and nuts are going

[@kq6986]

Made it look easy I cannot lie😂😂 I still don’t want to try it

[@luissantana2375]

Vlad i Hope this car ist worth all the work you are investing into it. 🤞

[@ray24051]

This guy has fixed cars in worst condition than this compared to other cars he has done. This has minor damage, and this car is practically brand new with less than 3,000 mi on it.

[@martyn6792]

Man that was a lot of work just to get to replace the pyro fuse

[@МихаилМарков-э3у]

Круто.. Как всегда👍

[@jonathanfrierman1737]

I enjoy your videos but, had you searched you tube you would have found out the easy way to pyro fuse was to remove the dash as a one piece component,

[@davidwinn5733]

😊
