That was me who sent it in glad to see you're using it 😄
Darren It749 , you’re short for you are, sorry Darren but it drives me crazy(a short drive I admit!)
Thanks so much for that mate. It is all working great 👍
@@banjopete noted.
a trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Trenton Dylan yea, been using flixzone} for years myself =)
Superglue and baking soda makes a really solid type of resin almost, it reinforces the glue, used widely in diecast model repairs.
Well done! I love seeing fixed instead of just being replaced, that's what a good mechanic does!😎👏👏👏👍
Popular advice is to wait 30-60 minutes after disconnecting the battery before removing the airbag. Also not sitting in front of it when you first turn on the ignition after reassembly. 💨
JB Weld has epoxy for plastic you can use to build up the places that need more strength.
I thought I was the only one who fiddled with things like that 😃. It is so hard for me to throw away stuff that may be repairable. This is all good stuff that you are sharing. Maybe when I get my Porsche 911, I will need to refer to this video. Keep it coming Jeff. By the way, I got a 914 project that I plan on starting sometime soon, so all your metal work "teachings" should come in handy. Cheers mate.
Amazing - just fixed my 996 - cleaned up the parts thoroughly with a dremel then used 2-part epoxy to glue it back together. No idea what that spring does though 🤔
Saved £500+ THANK YOU!! 🙌🏼
Hi Jeff. Can I just thank you for this. I have just done it. Exactly the same issue as you. Worked like a charm and saved me £3-400 UK. Brilliant.
Glad you sorted it.
simple two stage fix.
STEP 1 take an angle grinder cut the indicator stalk of as short as possible .
STEP 2 glue BMW badges to front and rear of car.
Job done !!!!
This is a universal fix for any make or model of car / van / plain / helicopter /ocean liner.
Love the channel, keep up the good work.

Dang, $600 for plastic piece with some brass contacts and springs to go along with it. Car parts have gotten SO expensive over the years!! Great job Jeff, looks like new. Cheers from Texas.
It's because it has "Porsche" written on it unfortunately.
Planned obsolescence to encourage people to keep buying new cars. I had the climate control knob fail in my '89 Acura. The fix was replacing the entire electronic control unit. $1,200.00 US! Are you kidding? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
The car wasn't worth that much at that point. I could have attempted a fix, but then the state of CA paid $1,000 to take it off the road...
Which brings up the waste issue of the state crushing a perfectly good car, with all it's valuable replacement parts. Worth much more climate-wise in a junk yard providing parts for 20 other Acuras. Oh well...
Just a word of thanks for posting this. My 1st boxster, left indicator duff, looking at, at least £150 for a second hand replacement so tried to fix it myself. The right side was cracked so repaired them both. Happy days, I do not need to hold it down when turning left! Thanks once again.
Glue alone never last. Use a soldering iron and you can weld the pieces together and afterward supplement with super glue and baking soda as others explained. I sometimes uses metal wire to reinforce perpendicular to the crack line.
If you're going to use a soldering iron to "plastic weld" something, use the soldering iron to push metal mesh or strands of wire (electrical wire works well and is usually on hand) in to the part to act as reinforcement, or it will likely break again.
Xiranu , rubbish, there are are MANY different types of plastic , all with different properties.
peter olsen I know there are many types of plastics. Over 98% of all commercially used types in moldings are thermoplastic types and can be welded with heat. Remaining few pct are of thermosetting type and cannot (epoxy is one of those). Rubber is of course not defined as plastic but is a polymer.
Here is a good beginner guide ruclips.net/video/gRCMIDILfEI/видео.html
Just completed this on my 996 with the 4 stalk. More difficult than expected due to how complicated it was to re-assemble the contraption. I used some screws I found around the house to seal it back up instead of rivets, and there is plenty of clearance. My auto-off indicators didn't retain their function, the springs inside are so fiddly and it's really just a bad design, but I just manually cancel them. At least both of my turn signals work now! Great video!
Thanks so much for posting this. It worked for me. I used JB Kwik weld. I let it cure overnight before putting the spring back on.
I've used a soldering iron and cable tie as filler rod. May or may not be appropriate for this task. Or metal putty works for a lot of things. But well done Jeff - saves lotsa money and gives ya satisfaction
Come on Jeff, we need you more than ever. Can we have a nice long episode if the 911 engine fit and start up please 😀 so looking forwards to it.
Great Content Jeff!
Aren't quick fixes like that a joy? And saving $600? Oh hell YEAH! Nice!
I had two remote controls that weren't functioning properly. One for the home theater had gotten worse and worse lately. Another for a receiver in another room hadn't had its volume function work for EVER. (I assumed it was the volume knob that gave out in the unit.)
So I pulled 'em apart, cleaned the years of gunk (gross, I know) out of 'em, cleaned the contacts with isopropyl alcohol and Voila! they both work like new now. Why did I wait so long to fix them???
And remotes 'ain't cheap, if you can even find them to match your old equipment.
Plus, with the waste in this world, we need MUCH MORE fixing of old stuff....
Like old 911's, for example!!! (Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge!)
Hi Jeff , by now you may have completed that job .
You can get whats could modelers plastic by Evergreen Plastics, I use it for model Trains
This is available at most hobby shops ,I think there is a shop in Mittagong that could carry it for future reference.
Great show my son and I watch it every week keep up the good work
Just did the same to my 996 - working perfectly. 😊 THANKS.
Home repairs by Jeff! Nice win.
Why would you give him a Thumbs down? Why!!!!!
You are the man Jeff!
Just completed this fix myself. . . More like 2 hrs for me, but I did find and re-use both pieces of plastic within the steering column moldings, so remove them carefully and vigilantly if doing so yourself. I also found a hot glue gun gave a reassuring bond and allowed excess glue to be carved away. Thanks for sharing the video, and for making it look easy enough for me. . . Now I just need to figure what the battery disconnect has done to my radio. . .
I suspect the reasn the spring tags aren't a solid part of the spring mount is to allow the cancelling lever some 'give' if you try to engage it while the release tag on the steering wheel is directly in line with it.
Super Glue, and other bonding agents, the repairers friend.
Can't see the average Porsche owner trying this repair at home, many would be in the "technically challenged" league.
Good work Jeff, another success.
Really? Myself and most of the other Porsche owners I know do most of our own work.
@@SpawnyWhippet only the ones with older and used Porsche, the original purchasers generally are too rich, too busy or have the "head to hand blockage syndrome"/ technically challenged brigade.
It was to those I was referring.
@Andy B a Porsche owner then?
The amount of parts that are considered disposable that can be fixed is unreal, people used to fix many things and now its a case of bin it buy a new one.
Formula1 Fan , I agree but quite often repairs don’t last and end up needing parts replacement anyway.
Great vid, thanks mate.
That's awesome yeah I did that sort of stuff years ago and super glue is not good but the problem I had was it melted some of the plastic, it was a old school car, so resins best but I ended up buying a second hand one they where cheap back then, but the glue coast more back then in the old days lol late 80s
Jb weld the way to go
Yay an Educating Archie series!
We shall call you the new MacGyver.
Job well done.
glad i saw this video before i bought a new part. my question is though, how long do you expect the glue to hold? i hate to have to take it apart again.
Common VW indicator problem,
it's always nice to have bolted steering wheel
jb weld or qbond would be ideal
the type of plastic is moulded in, it will be like PP or PE, best glue for plastics is lord fusor, technoshan I think is the other one, same packet, sticks most hard to glue plastics, superglue is useless on poly prop or poly ethylene
Thx !!!!🎉
Thanks of the idea. Pulled mine down and same thing. But found this part inside.Looks like a tea cup/white plastic its 5mm/5mm/5mm. Small,but it came from inside.
That clips on the edge of the housing in the little slot ;)
@@HomeBuiltByJeff Your the man ! The point bar is to the left of it ? Posted my work on Pelican under My 2000 Boxster "S" re-make. Thanks again.
You should try the baking soda reinforce super glue trick
fantastic, pity porsche didn’t have this sorted
I performed this repair thanks to your video. Unit worked fine for months, then suddenly it caught fire. Turns out one of the little springs inside the turn signal assembly became dislodged and shorted, causing a fire. I re assembled carefully, not sure what happened. Caution.
Selleys epoxy is good for strengthening plastic ....it is just like plasticene and dries rock hard
Thanks for the video I need to do mine any idea if the 4 stalk version for cruise control would be the same?
Yeah it will be
Jeff I’m attempting this repair now. I have one extra piece that I can’t figure out where it goes. Is there a way I can send you a picture to see if you can help identify it...
How about a clamp keeping both plastic arms together from the other side than the spring.
Superglued don’t work on waxy type plastics like nylon.
$5 Porsche you say? ;)
Alternatively
$5 (assuming the standard automotive tinkerers tool kit)
Just pickin' , well done!
It's probably made from polyethylene or polypropylene. Both are designed to be chemically resistant, which is why they see so much automotive use. Because of that most adhesives won't stick to them. The one thing that does though, is silicone, but it will peel easily if you don't roughen the surface.
Hopefully the epoxy holds up. Some blends are better than others for PP/PE.
MrClown GREAT comment, at last!....god there’s some glue experts out there!
I have a problem with the wiper stalk on mine. Will it be a similar fix for that?
Hi Jeff this repair was a great Idea has it remained repaired? thanks
Yep. Works great.
Brilliant tutorial. Wondering how the DIY repair lasted? Did it prove itself to be a permanent solution?
Yep
Nice vid, is the fix still going strong?
Yep
Great video. I disassambeld everything today but found one transparant part in the unit. I can not find out where it has to be replaced. Send you a message for some help. Thank you.
Jeff, been rewatching this as i recently bought a 996 and my stalk just broke. One quick question. see when you reconnect the battery, did you leave the keys in the ignition and in the on position or pull them back out?
Keys off when the battery is off
What size rivets are required to seal it back up...need to order some?
Sorry I cant remember off the top of my head.
i can't see the part that well to figure out why it was designed that way (with those tabs that break) Its weird that you can just glue them solid. they must have been made like that for a reason
IV managed to glue it but have a little white hemisphere please of plastic with no idea where it goes back
It clips on the edge in its little recess
Sadly happened with my Boxster today, first the indicator arm was stuck on right indicator, then after few minutes, it started to work but then other side is stuck, it just can’t stay there and can’t cancel automatically when turn the steaming wheel.😒
Not a difficult fix.
.i was like:
wooooooah need to tighten the steering wheel noooooooo don’t do that . 🥳
You can imagine Mrs Jeff about to commit to a roundabout and WOOOOH! "Why am I holding the steering wheel and why is it not connected to the column? JEEEEFFFF!!!"
Keith Watkins .Not-So-Fun Facts-without-Mrs Jeff
Dear Jeff, can you tell me where the small round clear rubber cone piece goes...you fitted it last in your video before riveting the top plate back on & mine came out, so I cannot see where it should go back?
From the top of my head, there is a small notch along the edge of the housing that it clips onto.
@@HomeBuiltByJeff
Thanks Jeff,
I found the slot & fitted it.
My indicators all work fine now, which is really good.
I have a slight problem with the full beam lights that work when I pull the indicator lever to flash the high beams & the blue light shows on the dashboard, but won’t light up when I push the lever forward to engage permanent high beams. The lever stays in place correctly, but no high beam or high beam blue light on the dash.
Any ideas on what part might need cleaning or checking & I will try again.
No problem if you don’t know as I am super happy on what you have helped me to do with the indicators.
Regards,
Steve.
@@stevemesser4552 You may not have the metal contact arms in correctly.
@@HomeBuiltByJeff
Thanks Jeff, I’ll have another go & clean the contacts as well.
Regards,
Steve.
Hi Jeff. This is Harry. My fans want to see me running. So stop tinkering with my youngster WOKE brother and come work on me. All the time. Also I hate my Italian neighbour so stop working on him as well.
^^^^ THIS ^^^^
(I told y'all it was a conspiracy!)
Now you can repair your original one and sell it on to a needy viewer. Jb Weld this time : )
Just a question. A small dome plastic piece with a slot is loose in the housing. Any help where it goes
It clips on the edge in the little recess.
Can you be more specific please ie body, stalk. Can you send a picture with arrow
I must be thick. On the edge of the body. All reassembled and works great. Thanks
Just use supper glue with baking soda , it get really hard and creat a better bind then 5min apoxy
Kalinga Athulathmudali , but does it adhere to all types of plastic and nylon..............no.
@@banjopete I've done it with metal, many type of plastics, multiple type surfaces, worked well for me for many years, specaly automotive type plastics. Clips etc
If your using super-glue to fix anything, your doing it wrong 🤣🤣
hey you think you can give me a hand? i disassembled mine and don’t know where this little rubber piece goes
I think I know what you mean and it clips onto the recess on the edge ;)
@@HomeBuiltByJeff that’s exactly right 😄 i figured it out after staring at it for hours
@@HomeBuiltByJeff time to see if my jb weld holds up 🤞
Don’t think this will last long
It has lasted a couple of months so far with no issues 😉
Home Built By Jeff which glue did you use in the end? That’s amazing
This will likely break again Jeff, not because you are not competent, it's quite common.
It has lasted a couple of months so far and doing well.
You should fix the other one and sell it for $250... :-)
You’re steering wheels on the wrong side!
Now you tell 'im...
Just buy a new one
Wtf. I think non cancelling indicators r nice. If u r in control of your vehicle. Else go get a self driving car.
@Andy B There is no mechanical "switch-off mechanism" to fail. Also u might not want them to switch off just as the wheel is straightened out.
