If you dry it well, there should be no problem with that

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!!! 😊

137000 is already a good mileage. Keep up the pace with that C4s! 👌

This car, since my friend bought it, has not broken down. He drove already about 50k miles, and it works as a clock. Astonishing how hard it is, with over 200k miles

Hi, I am not a company, just a guy wrenching 😊 I live in Germany

Thank you! I am preparing the next videos on the car, but in my case ac system and alternator are fine, so I am not touching them 😊

Yes, mine is hybrid

For bleeding, are needed specific tools and software. I just changed the fluid, which helps to keep the system healthy 😊

Yep, a bit of work to be done. But we will have fun!! 😂

The IMS was changed a few years ago just for precaution, but it was fine 😀

In this website kniro.net/ you can find the whole procedures and torque specs for the Niro. I don't know who uploaded all that content, but is super useful

@@DGLAutoserviceEnglish super great webpage thanks so much! 👍

It was a recommendation from an specialist in boxer engines, due to the high mileage of the engine.

The rear spoiler is the original one, as far as i know. I agree with you that the black logo looks much better than the chrome one

I don't really know what to think about it. In this car, my friend changed it after buying it, so I didn't got deep in that topic.

@@DGLAutoserviceEnglish I'm no expert, just an average schmuck with a 986S with 50K miles. I've read many articles about the IMS bearing and watched many videos. It seems it all come down to the odds. You hear failure rates of 5-10%. Also, after so many years of looking at the problem, some great mechanics claim that often when the engine grenades, it is pulled and replaced without disassembly. It is just assumed it was the IMS bearing. They call it IMS failure because .... that's what everyone says it should be. But it has been found that a good percentage of those failures are things other than the IMS. So just to be on the safe side, I think we can think of the failure rate as being 10% at the worst case. If you can live with those odds, wait until a clutch change and do it then. I have 50K on mine as I said and I originally stressed over it, but have decided not to worry and to wait for the clutch replacement to do the IMS and the RMS. That is getting to be the standard advice

My 996 has 231000km on it, no IMS issues. Its a real problem but most likely not super common. The car in this video is an example of one with no IMS issues even when it was replaced it was fine.

I've now had two 2000 year Porches, a 97K mile 996 and now a 153K mile 2.7 986. I dropped the gearbox out of each, checked the IMS bearings. Both were the stronger dual row type, neither had any signs of wear at all. I took the view that if they were so good after those mileages I'd rather keep those than risk an aftermarket part with its associated disturbances. As it happens, even the people that make aftermarket bearings won't warranty them for long anyway. If I'd found single row bearings, or any wear on the above dual row bearings, I'd have replaced them.

@@rusty911s2 Thanks for that. I have a 2000 986S with 50K miles. When I first bought it I was sweating the IMS problems as all of the Internet geniuses who only knew one thing about Boxsters convinced me that it was about to blow up. After reading and watching more, I've relaxed and will wait for the bearing change until clutch time.

The 981 is a very nice car

Thanks! I will keep in mind for the next time!

Thanks!

But semi-synthetic ..... Really ..... What a joke.

It was the recommendation of a Porsche specialist 🤷‍♂️

@Riley Are you an oil or mechanical engineer? It is not a formula one engine and its specific output is not that high. Absolutely not a joke. The current mileage is testament to this cars service history. Your comment speaks of zero experience running and maintaining such vehicles. Regular changes are the most important consideration in longevity.

Yep, I am thinking about it, but first I have to figure out how to plug it in the garage 😅

Thanks for watching!

I agree, it's a great car!

Glad you like them!

Yep, I realised afterwards. Will do it for the next time 👍

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Thanks! Will do!
