Does your MASERATI GranTurismo rattle and knock on cold start? | Fix it now to avoid damage!
Awesome car. Pity about the rims and ride height
my wastegate has no play at all, i changed my n75 valve, dv valve and pcv, anything else that it could be? im thinking clogged cat but
that's got to be expensive
What is the piece that has been changed, my friend, is it a piece of valve or something else, please reply from you?
How many miles on this?
Is there a technical explanation for the claim of engine failure? I thought whatever filter, wet sump or dry sump, oil flows through.
This dude makes comments about how only certain people are qualified to work on the vehicle, then describes the vehicle cost in terms of yearly income like he's a certified financial planner. Just quote the service cost and don't presume you know our budgets.
Yep, and he is 100% correct; he is a shop owner and a trained Porsche tech and does very well. You can maybe learn a thing or two. 95% of customers who drive these cars can't afford them. Glad this video was made because all of us who own Porsche shops are tired of customers complaining about something as simple as an oil change price or regular routine maintenance, not even talking about bigger repairs. How about each pneumatic strut costing $3800 a piece and times that by 4+ labor, yeah about 15k. Yes, you do need a six-figure income; working for Tyson chicken won’t cover it.
@@motorsports5614 is that 6-figures with kids, or 6-figures with retirement investment? What about $90k free cash flow with the house paid off and an empty nest? I'm sure this guy has had lots of customers that can't afford their vehicles. However, his advice would be way more useful if it was an estimate of cost per year instead of making hand-wavy assumptions about my income.
A proper machine shop would have recut the valve seats/valves and checked for proper sealing. The M96 cylinders at 3:00 look mighty shiny, have they been sleeved because you'd never touch an aluseal cylinder. Okay I can see the engine at 5:40 has been sleeved and forged pistons installed, a $5,000 extra expense that's worth it if you want your M96/97 engine to last and also a chance to increase the bore and add 200cc or 400cc to your engine size. We've tried Total Seal rings on BSR engines and run into the peoblem of too much case vacuum resulting in blown oil/air separator and the engine smoking like hell when maxed out at full throttle to the point where the intake manifold generates vacuum. Do you install a limiter between the intake manifold and the oil/air separator on the case? I think you have your piston assembly wrong. After fixing the crank casette to the engine case half, you would install pistons 1 - 3 and rods for that engine half, then add the top engine half and install the remaining three pistons in the order of 6, 5, 4. I would say that timing the cams on these engines is alot easier than on the aircooled Mezger engines. You arrest the crank at TDC with a plunger through the pulley and then arrest the cams with the cam fixture tool and then tighten and tork the cam gear bolts. On 3.4 engines and up I would also recommend upgrading rod bolts to ARP bolts. On smaller engines new stock bolts are fine, unless it's a race engine. The stock rod bolts for all the engines from 2.5 to 3.8 are the same from Porsche, so upgrading to ARP on the larger engines is adviseable. We've seen many shoddy builds come to the shop I worked for in Canoga Park, CA as well as BSR engines that didn't even last the the two days of break in, testing and qualifying. I have my own theory about IMS bearing failures but that's not important.
I fd up i was looking and kept looking at a gts for too long and when I committed it was gone 😂
You say they are not reliable or junk, then imply that by servicing them with you they will be just fine.....So, you are saying that servicing a PDK tranny every 15-30k miles keeps them running properly, for how many miles? what have you seen in your own experience? Otherwise you just look like a YT shop marketing for more service $$
You did not show us how you do it
Get a Toyota. Do it yourself with all Harbor Freight tools. Also, tune in to the Rennlist Forums, they absolutely have the most knowledgeable people. Buy your JBWeld at Lowe’s and glue everything and pin your fittings with stainless drywall screws.
Blanket statements like "avoid service contracts" only hurt the industry, yourself included. Page 2 has all the bread and butter. There are great VSCs, terrible VSCs and many in-between. Read page 2. It tells you clearly what is and is not covered. Contracts that cover everything will cost $$$. Good communication as a shop goes a long way and service writers with their head screwed on straight to work with the company.
Does this happen to Porsches starting up in the cold weather ??
Porsche = Shyte ... as do all German cars!
Minulla on BMW e65, 2004, 250tkm, 730d. Auto on olllut minulla vuodesta 2014, kerran vaihteiston öljyt ja suodatin on vaihdettu, kahdeksan vuotta sitten. Nyt vaihde menee vapaalle, kun laitan peruutus vaihteen päälle tai lähden eteenpäin. Suomessa vaihteiston korjaus maksaa 500-3500e, riippuen viasta. Yksikään korjaamo ei halua kertoa mistä tuo vika johtuu. Tiedän toki itse, että tiivisteet, solenoidit tai turbiini tarvitsee vaihtaa.
Do you mean the approved warranty?
Where to buy new handle please
Just got quoted 5K$ canadian$ to repair my aluminium bolts and reseal engine on my Macan S 2018 67K km (41k miles). Porsche need to remove front of the car to access every engine bolts. Got lucky I just read another comments below charging 13k$
so its more affordable then this guy saying and if you go to some yard that has a murcie i bet you can get the guy to sell you the headlights and tail lights for 12k for all
naww the sideskirts you can get under 3 grand and depending what year nd trim of it the bumper be low as 700 up to 8k with the rear bumper low as 1k up to 5k for the rear quarter panels depending on year they can be low as 1500 up to 18k front fenders low as 800 up to 12k the side wings cost from a coupe hundreds to 3 k but year the headlights cost around 18 to 30k and the taillights from 10k to 25k
Great comments, but how about linking to how to do a gear set oil change too?
I would never buy the 997.1 911 turbo, period. Only the 997.2 is worth looking at. Parts and labor are $$$ on these cars, but the most reliable version. This camshaft job is $8500 on the low end. A person could use the $8500 to get into a newer less problematic 911 and still have something newer.
Good inspection.
I've seen a lot of videos on RUclips so far and i would like to say that Your explanation with the video of each part and process was probably one of the best! Greetings from Belgium and keep on the good work!
Does the Macan 3.6 Twin Turbo have the same oil leak and fuel pump issues?
how do you and how long does it take to dry?
Am working on 2015 gl550.brake noise.have aftermarket rotors and mercedes pads.noise come as soon as intouch brake pedal
What are the part numbers to all of those ?
I own a 2015 Macan S, and I am having problems with LKA. Also, the car struggles to keep itself in the lane; it kind of swerves all over. Can you recommend any fixes?
Where you guys are located?
Where you guys are located?
I’m not buying it fella….these engines get bore scoring from standard factory fitted air filters…..coming from a 997.1 owner…I’ve already seen bore scoring…ims failure etc etc…😢
Valve cover leak isn’t the end of the world. Macan was made to be sporty, not only to cater towards the lower market. These are expensive new. Replacing the HPFP at 40k miles is an absolutely ridiculous recommendation. Finally, early BMW N20 had timing chain GUIDE issues due to poor guides and 10-12k oil intervals. Not fuel pump. This guy seriously concerns me with his lack of info.
как все сложно нажимать на клавиши и ждать
So basically if I buy one with this issue I bought a lemon? That’s how feel now after finding out mine has this issue smh
Hi Tom, I m looking to buy a 10 years old cayenne in Singapore. I need your advice whether petrol or diesel engine is better in terms of reliability and lesser maintenance?
I have a 2017 GTS, bought used and found the same issue upon changing oil
I just bought one a day ago and just found the same issue. What are we supposed to do if we ran out of warranty. Are you planning on just riding it out? Porsche told me it’s going to cost $3500
These are reliable cars.
V6 owners on fire 🔥 V8 owners just smiling knowing they got the "better" vehicle
hey man so gear set is not the same with transfer case oil change right, i got a little confused on those two thins. thanks for video too!
what diag tools your using in calibration
location and contact pls
I could never get why these things are so expensive are parts made of gold or something?
