Really enjoying your page. I have a 2017 718 Boxster S different but similar in many ways. Having problems with my driver's seat. Trying to find videos on it lol
The 987.2 and 997.2 engines have a steel version of the cam adjuster and are immune. I'm told the 981 base (2.9 liter) is a 987.2 based engine and so is also immune.
Another very detailed and informative video, thank you. If you find the time I'd really appreciate a video on how to remove the A pillar trim of a 981/718 Boxster without causing any damage (for running a dashcam cable underneath), I haven't found that info anywhere so far Thank you!
Thoughts on using something like a Grade 5 titanium bolt? Probably a little softer than a 12.9 steel bolt, but if the 12.9 is a bit of overkill, would the Grade 5 titanium be a nice lightweight alternative?
Hard to reason over what replacement screw is best. I could find very little concrete data on the root cause of the failures people have seen. Some theorize that it is the bolts (technically a screw) backing out and then allowing lashing that then causes more backing out or sheering. If that is the case, then it is more about the thread locking glue. I went with a screw that others had used. At least there is no one reporting issues after replacing. I trust OEM configurations and parts most because of all the testing they have done. One can theorize endlessly on loads, strengths, differences in expansion coefficients through heat ranges (probably the reason Porsche went with AL screws into a now AL part) but nothing is quite as good as having clocked up lots and lots of testing miles. I track my car so felt reliability came before squeezing a few grams out. Porsche already lightweighted this entire part with the 981 generation so I doubt a few grams will matter.
@@jeffrichardsoncardiy I can clear the codes with my scanner just fine. However, to do that my scanner tells me to have engine off with ignition switched to On, just electrical.

Your vids make me want a PORSCHE even more, Anyone got a spare 917/30? LOL
Hello Jeff I love your videos, can you please make a video of how to replace PADM on either side? I see many 981 PADMS failing. Thank you so much.

Have a look at the dash removal vid. Link:

Great thank you!

Any idea why my 718 Cayman is throwing codes P000D and P0024? I have replaced solenoids and Cam position sensors.
Neither of those are codes for a 981, and this is the only Porsche I have any experience with.
@@jeffrichardsoncardiy Thought so, left with my mystery problem... Weird thing is car doesn't run weird or anything with/without the code on.
@@jbrockskill When trying to delete the codes, do you have the engine running?

@@jeffrichardsoncardiy I’m more so trying to figure out the actual cause of the issue
Bmw has the same problem
