Fixing All The Issues On Our Cheap 987 Boxster S + First Drive In Years!
Рет қаралды 267,945
Күн бұрынToday we DIY fix everything wrong with our cheap Porsche 987 Boxster S we bought from salvage auction sight unseen. This was was the cheapest in the USA because it was non running and had unknown mileage. We got it running for the first time in years last video and now we finished sorting it out for only $300. We go for the first drive in 4 years, and WOW, this thing drives and sounds amazing! Does it need a straight pipe exhaust?

The 987 is one of the most underrated cars on the planet. It's far more substantial in quality and feel than the 986, yet far more attainable than a 981and offers a more analog driving experience. The cars are not without their faults, but propertly maintained they're wonderful. The key to unlocking these cars is an exhaust, shifter with cables, aftermarket suspension and a tune. It transforms the car.

Great car - stock exhaust on base/s is great. You're correct - PSM failure error is normal until you drive it since you disconnected the battery. Rear module has 2 fields in the module where you set the VIN - I guess the car doesn't care if it has a different VIN. Seems like the convertible top latch microswitch is broken - you can touch it with your finger where the metal latch slides into the top windshield and hits the microswitch.

Hi from the UK. Great video. I've got a 2.7 987 Boxster in the same colour. Had it for 14 years now. I had a failed (flooded) control unit under the seat. Came home one evening after lots of rain that day to find both door windows partially open and the instrument panel lit up like a Christmas tree. Problem is caused by blocked drain pipes from the cabriolet hood. Water backs up and finds its way onto the control unit at the lowest point in the car. Always check the drain pipes are cleared when serviced. Simple fix to a potentially expensive problem.

I had a 987 Boxster S(2007) in the same exterior/interior color combo, w/full leather and full power seats. Bought it w/81k miles, drove until 140k before it was flooded in the south Florida rain. It was simply an amazing vehicle, and other than the brakes, not super expensive to maintain. I miss it

I have a 987 with a broken transmission on the top. Most likely the cog wheel broke and the top or deck lid (there are 2) was in the process of going up or down. I assume it's in "manual" mode and if you just run the switch for the convertible top to full open or close. The windows will go up all the way and the error will disappear. Great work!

A friend of mine used to buy flooded cars long time ago and one thing that he was not happy about is that by the time he export the cars and was fixing them in our country, the transmissions were all milky so he told me if I was going to buy a "flooded" car, if it was a no start condition that was better, but he would drain engine oil and transmission fluid (gear oil if it was manual transmission) to confirm that it had no water in the system, for transmissions if the oil was ok he just put it back but he said 5 out 10 transmission had water at the top so when draining it was not mixed and he was able to save those by flushing all the lines, torque converter and tranny just by checking first and replacing the fluids so no come backs at his end when sold. Just in case you want be aware if you buy one of those cars as those have no dipstick sometimes it just need to be drained to confirm and you get a cheap car that works ok until the electrical gremlins start to show up. Nice content from JR I have a new favorite channel :)

Use a qt of Chevron transmission fluid in place of a qt of regular oil. It's fundamentalie 10 wt oil with strong detergent. Run it for about 100 miles and change the oil. Some times I have run for 1000 miles And it lubricates/reenergize s the rubber seals/components. Valve stem seals an other.

@1969feg Жыл бұрын
@@jamesringler987 It's a cheap way to have a bit more noise. If you search for "crios mod", there are videos comparing the stock sound and after the mod. It lets part of the exhaust gases bypass part of the internals of the stock muffler. People use different size hole punches to acheive a louder sound for a larger hole.

Great car! It's an old wive's tale that higher viscosity oil should be used in areas with high temperatures. Engines run at specific temperatures regardless of the ambient temperature.
@JRGarage Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the info!
@ProjectBiehlmeister Жыл бұрын
I completely disagree that ambient temperature doesn’t matter for oil viscosity, and so does Porsche. The owner’s Manual clearly states to use lower viscosity at lower ambient temperatures. It’s has nithing to do with engine operating temperature but rather because of the startup temperature. High viscosity oil becomes extremely thick at low ambient temps on cold start and will not provide sufficient lubrication, which is when oil flow is most critical. I once removed and oil pan from an engine in Canada (in the middle of winter) that was having continual problems. The oil was so thick that the wrench stood upright when I placed it in the oil. Problem identified; customer was using the wring viscosity oil and it wasn’t an engine design issue at all. They weren’t happy when they had to pay for the engine rebuild.
