In this episode, "one thing leads to another" we continue our pointless mods journey and finish off the front parking camera installation. I decided to remove the front bumper of my Porsche 981 and clean the air conditioning condensers and radiator fittings.
Look out for a surprise new mod that will be bigger than the ducktail spoiler.

loved it 981 is the best tbh. not because its older model and there is a new one, but this generation is the legend generation for cayman series and this generation will never repeat it self
You are not wrong, there are a lot of things we take for granted in this generation that we won't see repeated. Thanks for watching 👍
Just want to say thanks for the video on front bumper removal. Both rads (I separated them) and everything behind the bumper all sparkling clean and re-assembled. You gave me the confidence to do it. Cheers!
That's good to hear, now you can enjoy it without worrying. Did you have grills fitted?
Yes
Great job on the video! You make it look so easy! I am saving the link for when I remove the front bumper to clean my radiators. Thanks!
Thanks as always Mitch, this time it was quite simple. My rads were really quite clean the grills make a big difference.
Great video, simple and straightforward, easy to follow. The only difficulty I encountered was the daytime running light wiring harness had one clip, as shown in the video, and one zip tie near the side lights. It was difficult to reach, and I had to cut it off. Thanks
Nice video - You do a great job explaining and showing exactly what needs to be done. Thanks for sharing 😎
Thank you appreciate it 👍
Had mine machine polished just before Christmas & he used concourse wax rather than ceramic because he said it gets regular polish & clean it certainly brought the colour back, I thought it was good before because I am always cleaning polishing it, I was amazed how bright it looked after he had done it.
Nice one, they do look best with some TLC!
Love your videos. I've only recently subscribed but the how to's make it super easy to understand how to change parts easy. Can't wait to see the new bumper colour coded and fitted!
Thanks Andi very kind 👍 bumper has a slot booked for painting but I'm still missing some trim pieces because they are on back order 😭
Ah ha! Hidden screws. Great vid.
I'm sorry if I missed it but I am interested in swapping my front bumper with the GTS on my 981S also. (Already did the rear bumper). Can you please provide the parts list and cost of the modification? THANKS!
I'm going to cover this in the next vid once I've done my sums and hidden the evidence from my wife 🤣
@@TDS981 haha! I hear you!!
Very cool indeed. As ever great info for a DIY modder !
Thanks Allyn, appreciate the comment as always and nice to hear from you. Hope it helps 👍
Great video, look forward to seeing it completed.
Thanks, went for painting today 👍👍👍
Thanks for your videos, being able to work on and modify my sports cars is part of what inspires my choices. I've been looking at 981 Boxter's for a while and have been put off by the lack of information on them. Now I'm leaning into that buy decision...... Thanks again.
Thanks, I agree it's all part of the fun. Best part is driving them of course but underneath it all there is a lot of VW so if they can do it why can't we!
Can’t wait to see the new bumper fitted 😎
Still waiting for some parts but almost there 😃
Great video! My GTS bumper is getting painted now, I still need to get a few bits for it including the foam crash absorber. It might be worth checking that your current tow hook location lines up with the GTS bumper. I read somewhere that it’s different but I can’t be sure without checking.
Thanks Adrian, I've got the foam piece can I ask what you've done or will do regarding the front radiator?
I think mine lined up ok it was a check on my list as I had heard the same.
@@TDS981 I’ll either just make some type of blank for the bumper and put a grill mesh on there too or make an aluminium air guide to direct the air towards the radiators with openings in the radiator ducting
@@adrianc101 yes we are on the same page as I had similar thoughts. It would be good to see how you get on and what your solution involves.
@@TDS981 I’ve just liked your Facebook page so I’ll keep you updated on my progress 👍🏼 and I’ll be keeping an eye out for more videos from you
Love watching your video's, don't really know much about Porsche so your video's are priceless.
I installed the Joyeauto after watching one of your video's. Last week installed front and rear camera but am experiencing issues with the front. I need to keep reactivating it, via the menus, everytime I turn the ignition off. Once activated it works fine until the ignition is turned off......driving me crazy !!!!!
Thanks Erkan, that sounds like an issue with one of the dip switches on the box, are they in the position as per instructions.
@@TDS981 thanks for that but all dip switches are in the off position as per instructions. Have also noticed that various other settings will not stay the way I set them e.g I turn Bluetooth off but when I turn the ignition back on, Bluetooth is on. Have written to Joyeauto support
Received a reply from support, the solution appears to be dip switch 3 ON.....works perfectly
Glad you solved the issue 👍
Keep them coming!
Will do 👍
Loving your content. I'm wondering if you could do a video on stopping rattles and squeaks from the soft top when closed.
Ta!
Thanks Andrew 👍. Hmmm in guessing something needs adjustment or tightening maybe because mine seems to be ok. The rollover hoop plastic have rattled on mine before and I applied some felt tape where they connected. Can you elaborate on your rattle?
@@TDS981 I’m not sure entirely but they’re coming from over my right shoulder (righthand drive here). I need to do some more trouble shooting. I can hear some coming from the lefthand side as well. The noises are more squeaks/creaks than rattles.
@@chappoaj ok let me know tough to support you without more information 👍
I get a creak just over my right shoulder, typically when driving and something causes a teeny twist in the chassis, ie driving on or off my driveway. Creak is from the arm of the hood. If I push and pull on it I can induce the creak, left hand side is fine. I did read of some bolts to tighten but has to be done with extreme caution, as easy to break, so opted to live with the creak.
Another great video, gts nose will look great.
@@alanmason5307 thanks 👍. Sorry to hear about the creak 😯
Doing my font camera now on my 2016 BS with the help of your videos.
I’m trying to locate the firewall plug you used for the pass through, where is located, drivers side? To the left or right of the steering wheel?
Opposite side to battery comes out at pedals.
Awesome video!
Thanks very much and take care 👍
Hoping to have time to install my GT4 bumper this weekend. Got the parts back from paint last weekend. GT4 diffuser and Spyder ducktail are already on the car. =)
That sounds like a winning combination, hopefully see some pictures !
@@TDS981 Planning on premiering it at Porsche Jacksonville for their Porsche Classic/ Amelia Island Concours week kick off event. I'll post it up on Instagram when it's done, I'll tag you too.
Awesome! Looking forward to that!
At 8:20 when you turn the wheel left and right and the car creaks, any idea what causes that? Mine does the same thing when I turn the wheel and the car isn’t moving.
It is what it is nothing to worry about, a lot of resistance going through the steering.
Could you explain a bit more about disconnecting the front wires & isn’t there another radiator behind the front one that needs cleaning
Great videos I have learned so much watching them
Thanks Stephen, appreciate it. The wires you just rotate 90deg and pull and for the connector plugs push the button and pull, can do it with your fingers.
With the rads yes you can go a step further but mine are in good condition because they were replaced a few years ago and I've had grills fitted ever since, the hardest part is removing the bumper once you are in you are in.
Great video deffo do more!
👍
So the cayman 981 base doesn't have the third radiator
Hi, most 981s don't have the centre radiator fitted, the exception would be if they are in destined for a hot climate.
I have an 981 Boxster S, No 3rd radiator and I live in Florida. :shrug
What’s the link for this bumper
It's a Porsche bumper you can view the details here www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKUSD981.html
@@TDS981 is this where you got yours?,
No mine was used. Hence it being a different colour.
