BEST SUV Behind the Wheel? Porsche Macan S 95B.2 Driving Review Volcano Grey Pano roof-Episode 71
Hello I can’t connect my phone to the PCM but I can see on your telephone page it shows hands free profile mine on it shows bluetooth Sim access profile any idea why?
No idea without seeing the car, can you press the OPTION button when in that screen to see what is available in terms of bluetooth options? Cheers, Raj
cap
Cheers
Great video, any recommendations in the south of England for where to get the centre tunnel painted?
Chaps at daytonacoachworx.co.uk/ do ours and are fantastic! Cheers Raj
Great video, what’s the proper name for the grabber tool you showed? Thanks
If it is the one I think it is with the red handle it is a Rolson Magnetic Grabber/Claw. Cheers
911 another hit banger!!!
Cheers
These 987 gen 2 are a real sweet spot
Totally agree with you! Cheers
WoW, only 4642 miles, that is almost new…..Rare Rhodium Silver also 👌🏻
Thanks and yes, I must confess that I put 10% of that mileage on it in a day driving it back from Scotland. Was a great drive home. Cheers
@@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHEi bet it was 😎 what a great car and investment for the new lucky owner 👌🏻
The red belts, red dials, manual, PSE 👌👌, very rare in this spec 🔥🔥
Very rare and awesome indeed! Hope you are well! Raj
Where can we get the spoiler pls
Hey he got the stop watch to stop at 997!! I was able to do that once and only once... BTW that is a very nicely spec'd 997.. quite rare
One of my favourite pastimes in traffic is stopping the stopwatch on a Porsche related time! Cheers
Beautiful! And 100% agree about the Bose in that era. I had the Bose in my 997, and my much newer 718 Bose isn’t in the same league. Looks wise- the wider body is such a good look.
Thanks and quite a few people agree regarding the BOSE in 997s being great. Obviously aftermarket installs are another level again! Cheers
Great example.
Thank you!
Thank you for a great video. Whilst I didn't need to remove the sill and vent in the end, I was fully prepared and ready to. Your video gave me the confidence to do it if I had to. Big Thank you
Glad it was useful and helped with your Porsche! All the best, Raj
Nice demo…care to tell us how this happened? Fairy dust? A download from apple? Anew generation iphone? A free pcm upgrade from porsche? Can i sit with you at the cool table? Im still listening to am radio on my 2009 and would be happy to be clued in on the HOW!
There are various kits that are non Porsche approved available online, ideally professional install only. An example would be Mr12volt or NM Automotive, just google them and you will find out about them and where to source from. Cheers!
Don't the boxsters have a hard time cooling down in the summer? I live in the UAE where we usually average from 45 deg C to 52 during the summer. And is the road noise in the boxster with the top up louder than the cayman?
No problems here in the UK, best find someone out there who has experience with them. Cheers, Raj
You're a good looking fellow and I don't mind the camera angle pointed towards the driver seat when you're speaking on car specs, however adding an angle towards the road would add a level of immersion to the video that is currently missing. Also the viewer has no indication as to what the panoramic sunroof looks like from the cabin. Great video and tons of information that you provide from memory which is impressive!
Thanks... Didn't realise I was being critically judged for an Film Award ;-)
Could you show where the drain holes are at the top, under the roof please
They are in the front corners of the hood recess. You'll need a torch to see them under some flexible pipes. Cheers
lovely looking car
Thanks so much
Nice video, terrible audio. Could not understand last part on the Porsche cover which is the one I’m interested in.
Sorry to hear that
I have one! I love it!
Thanks! Enjoy yours
Have you seen many of the 3.6L with the bore scoring issue?
Less common issue on the smaller engine but yes I have seen some engines awaiting rebuild at workshops
I am buying a loaded 911 Turbo S with the glass sun roof and the burmester. It is all just personal preference. Some people don't give a dam about a sun roof or music. I want those options....
All have different views. Enjoy it!
Buying my first Porsche should I get the Bose or go all in for the burmester?
I have the exact car and color combo 2013, however I still need the ducktail and front bumper conversion....:)
Call Porsche parts, you may need to be sitting when they tell you the price unpainted!
@@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE Yea its $5K here in the US unpainted. :(
Precise information here
Thanks, glad it is well received
@@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE absolutely
So 997 is no good because of bore scoring? And it’s expensive to fix? I have a 997.1 130K miles . I sadly didn’t know any of this. But are all 997 no good to buy because of this issue which will likely show up?
No issues in my friend's 2005 997 with ~180,000 kms. Could be an owner problem.
Just get one checked out if buying. If you own and have no issues, just enjoy!
I did it today due to notice a wet floor om the driver side. A bit scary in the beginning but the excellent video made it perfecty doable. 😊And Yes, drain clogged, I revomoved debris, water pored out.. This could have gone really bad the next rainy day. . (BS2014)
Wow, glad it saved you much heartache and potentially £££s
i love the stitch option selected on that GTS... it was so common to spec the GTS with the Red Stitching... the dash looks better without the colour change like the gt4 has with the yellow stitch on the dash... Grey stitch option is the most rare colourway on the 981, i love how subtle it is.. i think the GTS will age so nicely, future classic for sure!
Thanks so much
What’s with the leaf blower nose in the background,?
some people like to garden in the UK
Fantastic!
Many thanks!
great car & sound but on the highway the exhaust gives "drone"
With the exhaust in quiet mode as well? I haven't noticed this myself. Cheers
@@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE in the beginning did not notice either ..
Where is the Jack and tire iron?
In the workshop
There are a lot of benefits to PCCB and Carbon Ceramic discs, less dust, more consistent pedal, reduced unsprung weight as you say, but really heavy race track use is not one of them. At the sort of temperatures you can generate on a track, if you really drive the car to it's limits, ceramic brakes will oxidise, and they will be headed for the trash bin very quickly. I spoke to AP about running a carbon ceramic setup on a track car (a Nissan GTR) and their advice was "Don't even consider it. You'll destroy them." and I fitted AP iron rotors instead. The GT3 series race cars run iron discs too. Ferrari Challenge cars have to run carbon ceramic brakes by regulation, and the top teams throw them away every 2nd event. Tens of thousands in the bin every couple of months... 😬
Thanks for the extra insights
Nice video keep them coming 👏🏽🤜🏽👊🏽
Thanks so much!
The PCCB brakes and pads are made by Porsche? Or is it Brembo?
Pads are Pagid I believe. Not sure about discs.
I don't know the original manufacturer for Porsche on these, sorry!
Another plus with PCCBs you get nearly no brake dust, wheels are basicly always clean! 🥳 One down side, be careful when it is absolutely raining cats and it is below 7 degrees. When you haven't used the brakes for some time while driving in these conditions braking power will be reduced in the first second.
Good tip! Thanks for the extra insights!
Thanks for your video on this subject and explaining it so well. It’s probably not something I will have to deal with but I now understand these brakes a lot better and how they work. I haven’t seen anyone else explain this
Cheers! I have another one with PCCBs, seem to be collecting these highly optioned Porsche now
Debating between this and a 981 Base… not sure I need the S engine for London speeds but seems like a decent value
Thanks, they are great
Naturally aspirated 🥰
Thanks!
Thanks!
Nice
Thanks
PDK service?
Yes
Great insight which lots of dealership don’t even know…in Porsche Doncaster, Spiros only know color..the rest he didn’t have any clue. Should not be working for Porsche.
Sorry about the individual experience you had at an OPC. Hope you find a better person to deal with when buying a Porsche. Cheers
Buy a manual. No matter what you tell yourself, buy a manual. Period, full stop. I convinced myself that a manual wasn't a deal breaker and wound up buying a base 981 PDK only to have the transmission shit itself 8 months later. Been in the shop for nearly a month. I'm a little under $7k into it already and they still haven't figured out what the problem is. Apparently all those VERY expensive modules, sensors, control widgets etc can and do fail pretty often. Absolutely fuck that transmission. FUCK it straight to hell. Edit: Also, buy the S or GTS. Spend the extra couple bucks and just do it. Other than that, LOVE the car. Drives fantastic, looks like a million bucks, nothing but smiles for miles.
Sorry you have had a tough time with the PDK
Replaced battery and now side windows won’t go up. Any fix? Thx
You may need to get the windows to relearn positions, my guess is one-touch operation on the windows doesn't work either? Google relearn one-touch operation Porsche. Cheers, Raj
It worked!!!!! Appreciate your help!!!!!
Glad it worked, happy to help. Cheers, Raj
Getting one soon when I retire 6th Oct .what price is it . Had 944 Turbo a d 996 .in the 90s want to treat myself to a Cayman or Boxster .2.S if poss.
Thanks, this one has now sold, but we have another in stock at the moment: www.mrsportscars.com
Very cool info!
Glad it was helpful! Raj
Second hehe
Which duck tail is that one?
It is the Joe Toth version 👍🏻
Nice Boxsters😊
Thanks 😁
In Australia, once you sold the car to dealer the warranty ceased. Is this the case in uk?
Same in the UK on the terms and conditions. Cheers
Ford made a huge mistake by discontinuing this car in the United States!
Shame it isn’t available in the US 🇺🇸
That nitrous blue is crazy cool! I like that a lot better than grabber blue!
It is a very special colour in the sun! Cheers
