Many thanks changed my wiper blades today watching this. Passenger side bit more fiddly.

Thanks mate! When the odometer is working randomly, making the needle starting and stopping to indicate the speed, is it because this connection/plug is damaged?

Great video. I’ll be coming down soon once I pick my Boxster up!

What was the cost I wonder. On a car that is worth not a lot

FOCUS!

Out of curiosity what two codes were those?

thank you, very helpfull 😊

How can I get these in the US?

Where are you located? $7-8k isn't bad, I've heard 20k from multiple people. I'm thinking about buying one but won't if it will eventually need a 20k rebuild. 8k down the line, I can accept. That would suck, but I could deal with it.

What a mess but I have faith that you pro's at La Rose can once again turn it back into a beautiful car.

Truly shocking 😡

That's quite horrific and they had the stones to hit them up for 20 large too. I know you'll be setting it straight for the owner.

Part 2 please

what an absolute shame, part 2 has to be putting it back together and what the bill was.

Yes let’s see what happens in part 2 you really need to name and shame to protect other owners

What a mess! Who did that? Owners need to be warned.

That is beyond bad… it’s probably slower than a stock car with the amount of air leaks not to mention the fact it’s been hacked!

Does anyone have a part number for the black, plastic plungers? It seems one of the switches has been previously replaced but they lost the plungers and I cannot find a part number to order replacements. @Bill Patel

This is a fantastic video - thanks for posting. Should I expect to need the droplinks replaced also?

the material it was made of looked cheap like it was plated and not full stainless, i wonder if a magnet would stick to it?

How do you get the bolts out of the front subframe they seized like anything do you cut them out?

Great video! Would it be an idea to angle grind the flanges off or should that be avoided? Thanks :)

Video was great experience. Related well. Hope you do more

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

Some jobs are worth paying for, this seems to qualify,

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!

Oh My God...please take the entire strut assembly off the car and work on it.

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.

£2 worth of anti seize on everything to be reassembled will save the next owner all this horrible work in the future and £££

Good independent mechanics will always serve the customer better than a dealership… more efficiently and cost effective

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.

Thank you for this. Had a little trouble with my 06 997 cab but found how to do that elsewhere. Very much appreciate this help.

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.

A very professional approach to this job indeed.From what I see all Porsche models are dealt with including the classic air cooled stuff.

What was cost for replacement?

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?

thank you for the tip around reversing the mounting clips for Left hand drive. Cheers

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.

Fantastic reversing the grow away mentality great job👍

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)

whilw changing the battery on the key fob, , will I need to program it?

14:14 - Don't wait 20 years to replace suspension components 🤕😂
