This instructional video is a must-watch for any Porsche 991.1 owner looking to tackle a spark plug change themselves. The step-by-step guidance is clear, concise, and easy to follow, making a potentially daunting task seem manageable. With high-quality visuals and thorough explanations, this video ensures I'll have the confidence to complete the job efficiently and correctly. An excellent resource for DIY enthusiasts and a testament to the power of well-crafted automotive tutorials.
Wow! Great job. This is an excellent video. Very clear visuals and descriptions. I’ve got a 2015 991.1 and like you a 996. Love them both and I like to do my own maintenance. Both cars are definitely different. I’m looking forward to your next project.
For anyone with the rear bumper off, unscrew the side heat shields and remove them, about 5 bolts,, Unbolt your tail pipes and remove, that way you can either swing the mufflers to the side (they swing on the bracket easy access to the plugs) or unbolt the side mufflers, 2 bolts,, both easy jobs takes around 10 mins, at that point you have full access to the spark plugs without even removing the wheels, there is no awkwardness getting them out, its straight forward,, still a helpful video though, but if you went the extra mile you'd have found it so much easier.
The bumper cover is off to service the throttle body. No need at all to take the bumper cover off, let alone heat shields, just to do the plugs. Very assessable without a lot of disassembly.
Question: just got my spark plugs replaced at the dealership, it’s a 2015 c2, with 35,000km, 21k miles. Before taking it in the idle needle was perfectly solid at idle when stopped at a stop light… Now the car ever so slightly has an up and down flow, like about 50rpm up and down constantly. Dealership is saying it’s normal and it was always there… I’m ocd, it never did this before. Performance isn’t affected, nor does it feel like it’s going to stall or anything but this definitely isn’t right. Any ideas what they could have messed up? Again, this is a Porsche dealership. Any help would be great!
@ I have the icarsoft Por II and people on the forums said to reset the throttle body, I did and it helped a bit. Weird though. Thanks for the comment!
