27 minute is afood moment to adress body corrosion before install. Just bought a 98 and wow i can afford a Porsche so thanks for such great knowledge share as i will be my own ignorant maintainer. Love the hammer lol
Hi, a great video to show what’s involved to resolve a very common problem on many Porsche cars, especially Cayman/Boxsters. I would love to see how you go about a similar repair on the 981 Cayman. Mine needs this as the bolts are starting to disintegrate with corrosion & heat. Because the 981 has just 2 bolts on each flange it can quickly be compromised.
This is why I leave this stuff to the experts. If everything just unbolted and could be guaranteed not to strip/break I’d be much more inclined to have a go. I’m happy with brakes and things like that as they tend to be off regularly enough to not be too seized. Also I’m well aware that I know just enough about most things to be dangerous….
Great my passengers side went down fine and don’t hear anything like is trying to come up, fuse is fine, swapped switches , original in my one owner 97 ... Pulled the motor out& it’s fine so some lame switches… putting the top rollers back on the rail is a bit of a challenge as in my C4S there’s less space
I've been watching a few vid's and this is a good one. This video was educational for me. It familiarized me as to the components and design of the Boxter, as I have one and will be refreshing the suspension.
Watched 3 videos, until I found this one. The first video that actually shows the not obvious, and not visible, part. Everybody else just brushes over it. Thank you!
Dude, what a let down. How about a test drive following the work to go over your experience with the changes? whats different? was it worth it? concerns / would you do it differently if doing it again? Major missed oppertunity and viewers are left waiting for a thrilling and informational conclusion that never comes.
I would have asked them to spray the inside top of the wing where the top mount goes with Wax oil/Lanogaurd as it has some surface rust starting. You can still do it afterwards but better before the top mount goes in , cost very little but will protect for a long time. All the new bolts should have anti seize on them but no sign of then being done...a bit strange when you've just watched them battle away cutting the original ones out with angle grinders and hammers.
I have a question, the American 986 Boxsters have 4 catalytic converters, 2 of which are connected to the manifolds, in this case is there any possibility of knowing which one is faulty? I'm in this situation, with the check engine light active and I don't know what to do nor do I know how to solve the problem.
I have this but the error is on the diagnostics computer not on the dash (Vacuum System Fine Leak - Cooling System Fault) 🤔 so thinking I need a new water pump. Porsche are quoting £1500 (£350 parts and 5 hours labour) to replace water pump and £320 diagnostics to make sure it’s nothing else, crazy.
Worked perfectly. There may be a bit of sticky residue on the faceplate at the top or bottom of the switch opening, check for and clean this with a bit of alcohol before reassembling so that it doesn’t transfer to the new switches.
Outstanding and descriptive video regarding the wheel alignment for 987.1. I use a string box method, but the sequence (and emphasis on the rear end are fundamentally the same). I was hoping there would be some Porsche GT3 or Tarret type adjustable lower control arms or other bushings installed.
I live in Japan. This exhaust is very exciting. I tried to purchase from HP. but therr was no shipping address in Japan. Is it possible to send this product to Japan?
This was a perfect Porsche video. Short, informative, and exactly the kind of information that “new to the Porsche world” owners need. I’m subscribing in hope that you will be making more videos of this variety. Thank you.
Thanks to Jonny Smith - I saw he brought his 986 to you - I’ve just done this. I’m kack handed at best! Perfectly doable job, my sticky old switches are no more! Thanks 🙏🏻 (and everything Porsche costs a bomb down here in Aus so nice to DIY something)
Hi, if I correctly understood your was already equipment with PSE. So you have already a solenoid for exhaust. But on my 987 S 2006 I don't have PSE. Where can I take +12Volt and vacuum connection ?
I bought a car from these people. The day I collected the handbrake pad retaining springs broke. They couldn't fix it so I drove away in a car with no handbrake. They sent me the parts and I paid a local guy to fit them. He told me the brakes were in a terrible state but in fairness LaRose sent me new pads and discs all round. I did the rears but there was a delay fitting the fronts. When I finally came to fit the fronts I realised they were the wrong ones. I told them but they refuse to change them. So if you want a Porsche with dodgy brakes and like abysmal customer service these guys are the place to go
