My daughter & I had fun working and saving on uncle's 959. TPMS is about $15,000.00/each. If you can buy it. We removed all 4 TPMS sensors out of the wheels. Informed my 11 years old daughter to notes the position on sensors. She opens the sensors, weight them, removes those batteries, weights them to match like before & installs them back. Next project, we are doing oil changes & filter and spark plugs replacement on an F40.
I like the blue calipers.. did you paint or powder coat them? I have a 991.1 base and would like to do something with the stock calipers. great DIY video thanks
Nice. Thank you. I have a 2015 C2S and I really want to do more of my own work and leave bigger things to an independent shop. Saving the money now helps pay for the spoiler! 🙂
I am happy to see your diy video because I am planning to buy one of these and when I realized that you have to take the bumper off to service, I was a bit worried, thanks for the video I am now confident I could handle this.
GREAT video! I replaced my plugs last week at 78K miles (2013 911 C2). I noticed some residue on the plug threads similar to what yours show (plus mine had a minor amount of liquid oil). I don't know if it's an area of concern...but before going in and checking on them later on I think I'm going to service the air/oil separator and start clean from there. Otherwise no exhaust smoke, CEL, or anything like that, the engine runs incredibly well.
Great video. I have a 2014 991.1 and just had the oil change, cabin air and engine air filters replaced and it came to $851, and that’s with my 10% PCA discount. Scottsdale, AZ Porsche…yep 😢. The 40k service is $1400….but lChandler, AZ Porsche recommended the serpentine belt at the 40k also and they quoted overall $2800 !
Yeah, did my own 80k service at total of $550 and 1 day and a quick Jack. Quick release extensions are key with spark plugs. Serpentine as well. Time and patience and save over 2k.
I have a 992, and it has a plastic oil pan, and plastic oil drain plug which relies on a o-ring for seal and not crush washer. so it is much easier to remove and put back on the drain plug. no need for a torque wrench. I can change oil even without lifting the car at all. I bought 2 of those round 7 liter oil drain pan at Walmart for $4 each, which is only about 3 inches tall. so, I just have to move the first one when it is about 3/4 full and manuever in the other one. yes, there will be few drops of spilled oil.
You can change the oil on a 992 without lifting the car? Do you have super long skinny arms… or is the drain plug in a really convenient location near the edge of the car?
Hey There, New subscriber here as I love the content- Awesome stuff! Is there a link for the crush washer you used? I can't seem to locate it on FCP euro's site.
Hey, thanks so much for following the channel! I really appreciate it. Here's the link for it: www.fcpeuro.com/products/porsche-engine-oil-drain-plug-gasket-por-90012310630
l do my own oil and filter changes, but having to remove body panels and the fan assembly is to much for me. how do you put it all back together yourself? l have an FG falcon, which is easy for DIY compared to your Porsche.
Just the reverse of how I took it off. As long as you go slowly, label things if you need to, and even take photos so you remember how it goes back it’s not that bad.
I’m up for my 4 year/40k service this season, going to do it at the start of next season! This video is awesome! Saving it! Thanks for doing this for 991.1 owners.
What’s the torque on the spark plugs and do you have to do anything to them, like put lubricant on the threads etc? Did/do you have to replace the coil packs as well? Thanks, from a fellow 991.1 owner!
Not sure on the exact torque for the plugs. I tightened them just until firm, but was careful not to over tighten. I did not use any lubricant on them. I did not replace the coil packs.
How in the heck do you take off that TechArt fixed wing. I bought vehicle with it and attempted to remove but could not. They say there are 2 screws behind the 3rd brake light but can’t remove that brake light lens without feeling like it’s going to break
You never adjusted the belt like you said …I recently got my dream car a 2014 991 convertible and I like all the content you plan to, keep going put it all in please.
First of all, thank you very much for your extremely helpful videos. My 2014 turbo just hit the 40,000 mile mark, and I will be doing the servicing. Do I have to remove the rear wing? I noticed that you make a note to remove it on a fixed wing configuration. Mine is the OEM turbo wing. Does it matter? Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for your answer. I will be doing the servicing on my car this weekend. Too bad you are in the ATL otherwise you could join us in the Porsche Club events out here in SOCAL.

so... your uncle died without any kids?
VERY INFORMATIVE GREAT JOB
thank you!
22:54 those fasteners are called E Torx or External Torx.
I like the blue calipers.. did you paint or powder coat them? I have a 991.1 base and would like to do something with the stock calipers. great DIY video thanks
Thanks! I painted them.
Great video. Looking at your engine air filters, they looked like they are oil soaked. In my experience they tend to foul the `Mass Air FLow Sensor’ .
Thanks. Appreciate you watching. Good to know. I have since sold the car but good for future reference!

Editing, sound and camera work was amazing! Nicely done. Great video. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Awesome. Glad you like it. Appreciate you watching and for the feedback.
21:36 50 Nm = 37 lbf.ft. I usually tighten the drain bolt to that or 35 lbf.ft.
Great video, great presentation. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Would be interesting to see how to change the PDK Oil and what parts are needed!?
Super tutoriel. Thx for the job and the video.
Thanks man. Glad you found it helpful
Hi, thanks form your video.
Can you please provide a link for a detailed maintenance schedule for 991.1?
( preferably for targa 4 GTS)

Great video, very helpful!
Awesome. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
Nicely done.
@@alangeye6653 thanks!
5:24 forget about the writing because on another brand, it might be the other way around. Look for the airflow arrows instead.
True. Good tip 👍
Great tutorial thanks!

@@tedjohnson64 I'm about 5'10" tall and 150 pound. the drain plug can be reached without too much effort.
@@davidjacobs8558Thanks for that info, much appreciated!
I assume you need to take the bumper off just for the air filters? Thanks
Yep. You do. Only way to access them.
Hey great video so from what I’m understanding here is that there are two cabin air filters one in the fronk and one in the glove box area
That’s correct

Thanks! Appreciate you watching
When changing oil based on time, not miles, how many years do you use as your change rule?
Depends on how you drive it but I usually do it once a year regardless of mileage
A true car guy can afford to take it in to be serviced but would rather DIY. Great video.
Thanks. Really appreciate you watching!
What about a guy who works in finannce And makes 175k, and is always tired from long hours
Dang, didn’t know I had to have a lot of money to be a true car guy. Makes me recall why I don’t go to PCA events anymore…too many with that mindset.
Nicely done. Thank you. Any DIY work you do on your 993 engine? Wonder if you still have it…
Thanks! Didn’t do as much DIY on the 993 engine and I don’t have it anymore.
Very thorough and useful information. Thank you for posting.
You’re welcome! Glad you found it helpful and appreciate you watching.
Cool Video thanks

Where did you get those floors to buy in the garage?
This site. They have the best pricing anywhere: obsessedgarage.com/?rfsn=5797101.cef4d4&.cef4d4
What about the belt you were talking about?
It requires inspection only, not replacement. I covered this towards the end of the video
Can you please share where i can find this detailed maintenance schedule for porsche cayenne?
Sorry. I don’t own a cayenne so I’m not sure
How much would a owner save in $$$ if he had to drive in a Porsche service center for those replacement including parts ?
Probably $1000+ depending on your location and the dealer
can you send /post
a copy of this check list ?
Here you go : pictures.dealer.com/porscheofarlington/a4fe21ba0a0e09a7404529c236bb8451.pdf
Thank You! Nice project!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
I noticed you might have an mobile phone mount, what kind was that? thanks
Rennline. It’s the best one by far. www.rennline.com/Porsche-991_981-ExactFit-Magnetic-Phone-Mount-Center-Console-Mount/productinfo/PM01.03/
How long does it take you to remove the bumper from the time you begin to get it jacked up to 'bumper off?' TIA
I’d say about 20 mins
What’s the link to that jack
www.quickjack.com
What’s the torque on the spark plugs and do you have to do anything to them, like put lubricant on the threads etc?
Did/do you have to replace the coil packs as well? Thanks, from a fellow 991.1 owner!
Not sure on the exact torque for the plugs. I tightened them just until firm, but was careful not to over tighten. I did not use any lubricant on them. I did not replace the coil packs.
Spark plug torque is 17ft/lb
What about accessory belt change? Haven’t done it yet on my 2014 991 25k miles
Not sure on that one TBH
How in the heck do you take off that TechArt fixed wing. I bought vehicle with it and attempted to remove but could not. They say there are 2 screws behind the 3rd brake light but can’t remove that brake light lens without feeling like it’s going to break
There are just two large bolts on mine, left and right back near the bolts for the taillights, that screw down into the car
I tried those 2 big bolts and pushed forward and back but would not budge
@@stevecamacho853 not sure…could be that yours was installed differently than mine
You never adjusted the belt like you said …I recently got my dream car a 2014 991 convertible and I like all the content you plan to, keep going put it all in please.
Thanks. Appreciate you watching!
Is it hard to adjust the belt?
@@seandenny2412 I would say yes. Shouldn’t need to at 40k but if so, I would let a shop do that part.

what are the best coils and spark plugs for my 991.1?
I went with the Bosch OEM ones
What year is your car?
2014
Same as mine.
992 models require C40 oil ..like liqui moly 4110 model oil 5w40
Do you have a Amazon link to the spark plug socket you use? Thanks.
Sure thing: GEARWRENCH 3/8" Drive 6 Pt. 5/8" x 6" Magnetic Swivel Spark Plug Socket - 80546 www.amazon.com/dp/B0014ZVSVK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3NQFC9KR1B16X4F1A45C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Its crazy how these cars are about as easy to work on as an old Subaru
Agreed! Nothing to be intimidated by! Lots of DIY potential
5/16? hmmm. that doesn't sound right! I think you meant to say 8mm
Don’t use wet air filters ! Oiled
Porsches do not take a 5/16" anything :)
What about thickness of brake pads
The dealer sells the oil filter seal separately. Total scam . They remove the oil seal from the filter box and sell it separately!😮
