I hope that with the new O2 sensors your issue will be solved!🤞

Have you checked the line that connects to the airbox?

Thanks for this video, and your DIY smoke machine.👍 I am sorry for you to have this kind of faulty messages, I have no idea of what is wrong with cylinders 1 and 2🤔! I hope you will solved that clue soon without needing to burglarize a bank! 😉🤞

Sorry to see you have trouble with the car. It seems your DME is trying to compensate by adding more fuel. Or the DME is doing the right thing in which case it could be faulty injectors. Since it’s on both banks, is it likely that injectors would be faulty on both banks… probably not. But it could still be worth checking. Or maybe injectors clocked up by carbon deposits so that they don’t atomize fuel properly. I would imagine that would give you a rich running error. If not related to injectors, it must be DME reading a signal and trying to compensate by trimming the fuel. Mass airflow sensor would be a likely place to look, even though you have changed it. As mentioned if the O2 sensors give false readings the DME would try to compensate. Or it could be that the O2 sensors are reading rich but the car is actually running fine. You mentioned that the car runs ok after Home Depot visit, could it be that it is actually running ok with correct air / fuel mixture but the fault code is coming from a faulty sensor. Apologies if this isn’t a complete “this is the problem” post, just applying some logic to the problem and giving you ideas. Good luck finding the root cause. Oh and btw, thanks for some good Porsche content, keep it up 👍

Check the o2 sensors off the cat :)

Excellent! 👍 Thanks for sharing this video.😊 I love 993 too!😋

Awesome!

Man I miss those PNW roads and views….

Hi Alberto, do you mind if I ask what make your floor jacks are? Look really handy. Thanks

Hi Alberto! The oil change is very easy and very cheap on ours 997.2👍, so I do it every year (3 times already) and I let it drain the time to change the filters (oil, cabine and every 2 years air) that means 20 to 30 minutes. And I inspect the old oil filter to check for metallic 😱 debris but it is always perfect.🤞 I also put 5w40 but maybe next time I will put Mobil 1 5w50.😉 Thanks for your video.👍

I am surprised you paid to get your oil changed all these years. Oil and filter change in a 997.2 is one of the easy DIY jobs.

I enjoyed the “how to” tips and seeing the car’s mechanical components that I would likely never see or repair on my own 997.2 C4S coupe. I appreciate the honesty at the end where you said if an owner wants (paraphrasing) best comfort (e.g. me) stay with OEM mounts. But I can see where a driver who puts a priority on performance would sacrifice some comfort, more vibe. And your video helps explain how to go back and fourth if desired between the various options.

NVH was shocking when I did this for tranny incert, had to take them out. Was ok in a Cayman but a 911 was horrible.

Thanks Alberto for your very precise analysis! 👍 I have changed my engine mounts for OEM, 2 years ago and everything is perfect for me.👍 But I note for later, that the change of the transmission mount can be an improvement! 😉

Alberto Thank you so much for putting together this video of the quick jack in action. I as well own a P car 997.1 cab and was crapping my pants before i took a chance using the QJ 7TL. My big concern was the rear engine and whether the weight imbalance would create an issue. I'm good to go to change the brakes, plugs and install studs (get rid og the bolts to hold tires on). Portland is not that far from Ottawa, Canada, How about a drive! 🚓🚓 LOL! Cheers Noël

Welcome back Alberto

So are your factory ones shot? Or did you just upgrade them? I'll buy those OEM ones if they are still good.

No worries, love how it feels and it took care of some of the play in the shifter.

Thanks for this recapitulate of your idle problems on your 997. I hope it is solved.🤞 For the « clic » on your transmission: did you already changed oil of your PDK? I have had this kind of noise plus a surge when passing to D then I asked a dealer to change my PDK oil as it was 120 000 km (75 000 miles) and it is now perfect. 😉

Looks like it was a good time!

Motor mounts make a nice difference. Definitely can feel the motor vibrations a little. Gives the car a unique and raw feeling. I use the WEVO motor mounts on my 997 Turbo.

My 2017 991.2 doesn't have them either.

Ball joint nuts 60 nm control arm bolts 16 mm are 50nm +90 bolt 18 mm 70nm +90 and front one 18 its 70nm +180 and are one time use bolts need to be replaced tie rod nut tight 100 nm lose 180 degrees and retighten 100nm

Just had the cam position sensor replaced on Bank 1- @67k miles - same intermittent code, decided to replace it when I had the exhaust off Alberto- I see you still have the OEM mounts in, are you enjoying the ride comfort better with them? Or doing more road trips? I have RSS mounts. I do appreciate the directness of the semisolid mounts and better shifting feel (6mt) but as I’ve been driving the car more often around town, I find myself wanting less NVH and looking for more comfort

Congratulations Alberto, your 997.2 is now an European car like mine!😉🤣 Do you think that changing your throttle body is what solved your self rave issue? Thanks for your answer.

That looks really nice Alberto.

Is the car lowered? Any rub?

You have spacers on your wheels?

Not sure how the transmission mount is installed and what all is required but couldn’t you just use the one home in the center that the bolt fits thru?

I do agree with you👍, I changed the timing belt on my Golf 7 tsi…it was horrible even with the engine mount out. Now I have to change the front chocks absorbers on this car…I hope il won’t be a nightmare. 🤞Thanks for your video.😉

Thanks

What a Guy, just bought a Porsche 997.2 2010 manual with Apple car play and the music bluetoothing from my phone was terrible. Found this on You Tube and you explained the solution perfectly. Took my laptop to the car watched your vid and sorted the problem out streight away. the music is now as clear as a bell. Thank-You 🤗👍

A shadetree after my own heart...that mount was surely not important anyway...weight savings!

I was fresh out of college, had just started my first "real" job and was not sure whether to buy an 87 GTI or the same year CRX si. I went to the local Honda dealership but the salesman was at lunch or somesuch. So while I was waiting for the salesman to return, I wandered across the street to the VW dealership, who had TONS of salesmen just sitting around. As fate happens, I let my impatience get the better of me and bought the GTI. One of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. What a worthless lump of poorly manufactured dog feces. Oh, how I wish I had waited for the Honda salesman to return. I'll never, ever, under any circumstances, buy a VW/Audi/Porsche product ever again.

Do the plenum too 😊

Thanks for this information about the play in the throttle body! 👍 waiting for your DIY.😉

I had a 2012 GTI (biggest piece of junk I ever owned!) and I replaced 4 of those stupid water pumps along with 4 sets of injectors, three intake manifolds, high pressure fuel pump and countless EGR assemblies. Complete German junk. After the GTI, I was one and done with VW.

You say "not often" but its twice now in 150,000 miles? That's pretty often. Bet that big aluminum chunk aint cheap. Edit: I've toyed with the idea of buying something German again. Your video taught me the error of my ways... thanks.

Thanks Alberto for this video! 👍 I do agree, I don’t like working on my VW Golf’s, I prefer working on my 997.2!😉 I waiting for your next DIY about the throttle body and the transmission mounts for the Porsche…

Just did the inserts and flex disk a couple of months ago. I muddled my way through it. I have a 6 speed 996 C4S with 80k miles. My flex disk was pretty bad. Do you know if the middle transmission mount can be changed st the bellows? I could not find a part number.

When i bought mine it was doing the same at cold star warm up . Give it time .in my case car was sat for very long time now it's perfect Good luck.

Good visual on how the transmission mount works.

What indicated it is broken? I have Cantrell 85 durometer in a 911 turbo. It transformed the feeling of the car from loose to ultra firm all around

Wonderful Porsche. I don't know if it's manual or automatic but, while you're carrying out this millimetric manoeuvre, I presume that you didn't do it wearing flip-flops, but barefoot: in this way you don't risk in any way your feet slipping on the pedals, as can happen with flip flops. This might be a trivial comment, but it happened to me.

Hi Alberto, I have also this variations on mine (witch is 88800 mls). 😡 I was thinking about something from the sparks 🤯 but I am gonna check my throttle body too! Thanks. For the play maybe you can check the two smalls screws on the middle of the flap??? We never know?! I am interested if it is solved after the change the full throttle body!🤞

Cool!

Horrible vid.

Congratulations Alberto!👍 It seems easier on your VW Passat than when I change the two front boots on my BMW 5 series Xdrive that were leaking! Good job! 👍😉

Excellent news! I don’t know what kind of Loctite that the manual calls for, if any, but the blue type is easier to break free than the red type.

How hot were brakes when you tried it? I would soak threads with Liquid Wrench for 24 hours then heat up caliper with fire from torch and if still not budging then liquid nitrogen on bolt. I think both some corrosion exacerbated by heat and the brake dust got on the threads adding to the resistance. Clean out threads with brake cleaner spray then oil penetrant soak, then hammer time on your wrench but that triple square will want to wear out so careful there too.
