I can confirm the info on the handbrake is true for the gen.2 cars, as wa demonstrated to me by an instructor at the Silverstone driving school. All gen.2 4WD can be changed to RWD including the turbo's. Didn't know about the chrono moving tho. Every day's a school day. 👍

The memory buttons also save the external mirror positions, so you can set them up for each driver once and then have quick access to perfect seat+mirror position. Furthermore, the first memory setting is connected to which of the two keys you used to unlock the car. For example, on my girlfriends 997, we programmed my seat+mirror position on Memory1 for the spare key. Whenever I drive it, I will use the spare key to unlock the car and the seat+mirror will be in the right position for me when I get in.

Good tips you brought up, although I already knew all of them. More important, the oil level indicated was NOT low. It is very harmful for these cars to overfill them. The area between the top and bottom of that measurement is approximately 1 quart, so when it gets to he very bottom of the scale, it is only a maximum of 1 quart low, but with the boxer engine, slightly low is better than slightly high. On a seperate note, you can clean up those awful looking scuff marks on the black plastic entry sills with a Magic Eraser and a little water. Will make them look like new in 10 seconds! Beautiful car!

Oil wise I measure mine stone cold after being left on a level surface. I then add 200mL at a time, cycle the key (without ever starting the car) and check until it reaches the top. The measuring routine will pick up the added oil straight away. Then drive it for a few days and recheck.

I've tried everything and think it needs taking to Porsche to reset the key, 2 indy's haven't been able to sort mine. I found if i lock the car, then unlock it straight away, it locks itself after a minute or so (if i don't open any doors), then the seat stays where i left it, otherwise it goes back to the key setting from the previous owner! Another button that i've noticed other people didn't know about, is the little button on the underside of the main right hand stalk, press it and it activates the headlight wash.

#14. Open the drivers door, next to the hinge is a manual release for the fuel filler cap. Sometimes the plastic gears on the actuator for the fuel cap lock get damaged and it stops working, if it fails in the locked position and you need to fill up you can get the fuel filler cap open, other wise it is wheel off, wheel arch liner out, remover actuator etc.

They two keys have their own M1 memory setting. Not global M1, M2 and M3 but both keys have their own 3 settings. Also wish the car would know better if the owner of key no. 2 eg has driven slowly in resent weeks and with key no 1 the opposite, so I would get a proper responce from the PDK box from the start. Not so if the mrs has driven the car most of the time, rather it takes some time and more distance before the car adusts to the drivers liking. I think this would have been easy to modify just by noting which key is being activated. Hmmm.

Lol the hook is not to hand it by the 'string' it's to hook the cap directly :)

I’m just stunned at the state of some of the materials used in this car. What’s going on with the centre console near the drivers seat belt socket? And the leather on the seats is wrinkled! It just seems like it’s showing it’s age very badly.

I was told by my Porsche dealership the Sport bottom and PASM bottom must always be ON. “Do not just turn On the Sport with out the PASM, what do you think are the implication in using them ON or OFF alone or together.
@rdargenio 2 жыл бұрын
That sounds ridiculous. If so why would Porsche allow the PASM to be switched off independently as shown in the video?

Wow I've had my Gen 2 Targa 4S for several years, didn't know about the headlight switch, the handbrake or the chrono. Thank you!

I'm Sorry to hear you are quitting youtube. I follow your videos because i bought an 05 911 997 Sport Chrono two years ago. I am also sorry to hear all the grief you have been having from these narrow minded people but i do hope you will reconsider your decision sometime in the near future. In the meantime i would like to thank you for all your advice and help and hopefully we will see you again on youtube.

Batteries dying on 997 seem to be a very common theme. Mine just does not. Especially since it goes to sleep after 7 days of sitting with no activity. Admittedly I drive he car all year round...

I would put the vehicle on a lift and see if the front wheels do not spin when you have the vehicle in gear.

Good idea, was always wondering if engaging the brake would put friction on the car, causing poor performance. Would two wheels get better gas performance?

If you have a sunroof slide it back and when it’s right back press the button again and it will go back further

Your 911 looks far better without the huge spoiler, for my money.

Julian Field thanks Julian, the majority of people I speak to are also of the same opinion. Maybe I need to buy a real GT3 to go alongside this car 👌👍🤣

True story, my battery died in my 997. I went to the fuse box to pull out the "Jump" fuse, it was gone! Previous owner removed it? Sooooo, another hidden benefit, removed the drivers side front wheel (US cars), located in the upper wheel well is a black circular gromment, pry it off and it's attached to a emergency hood release cable, use pliers and pull, the hood pops open.

All very interesting. So, in summary; read the owners manual!!

Personally I would vacuum the car out before a video. There was money in the seat, lots of debris in the shifter boot, etc. just a suggestion.

I’m a newbie to the 997......and ready to retire and the 997 caught my eye some years ago for a weekend driver. Is there anything I should be looking for in a PPI that are red flags to look out for ? I have my eye on the 911-997.1 in the 2007 model year Thanks for any help you might be able to provide
@AM-rx4rf 2 жыл бұрын
997.1 had problema so you should definitely get a PPI
