Porsche 996 911 Radiator Replacement & Upgrade DIY (Carrera 3.4L & 3.6L)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- ►Unlike most cars, the Porsche 996 911 has two radiators that sit behind the front bumper instead of the one you would typically find. In the case of the Porsche 996, the need to replace your radiator is fairly common and should be addressed if you just purchased the car like us or if your car is getting up there in mileage.
Today, we're replacing our 996 radiators with these CSF radiators with all-aluminum end tanks. The factory radiators on the Porsche 996 have plastic end tanks that can become brittle and crack from the high heat that they endure over time.
Mike Hidalgo, one of FCP Euro's Porsche 996 aficionados, walks us through removing the front bumper to either clean your radiators, inspect them, or replace them if necessary. The process isn't difficult and doesn't require too many special tools, but it does feature quite a few steps, so be sure to follow along.

I have a 996 and these videos are the best my good people!!!
Good people! Mike is is good and to the point, videography is very great too, thanks FCP
Damn all that effort for a 996? Kidding great work mate. 👍
Can't say enough good things about videos like yours. They'll foster a community of enthusiasts in ways the "MY NEW PoRsChE" clickbait RUclipsrs could never imagine.
Great detailed and helpful video as usual Mike!
Beautifully done! Thanks for a great tutorial! Class A!
Our pleasure Antillas Shoe! Glad you found it up to snuff.
Another great video. You are inspiring and a joy to watch these 996 projects. What’s next on the list. Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Nice work 👍
Great video! One of the best on RUclips. I have a fan out but now I think I will do it all. You can spend more on parts and better parts if you never have any labor to deal with. Look forward to another video.
Thank You!
That airlift system is a must IMO. I mean, I agree that it can be done without it. But, the airlift is not only faster, it does an incredible job of getting a complete fill!
It can feel like a bit of a crutch but it just works so darn well! The tool itself really is not that expensive either, so worth it in our book.
I wish you had the CSF rads back when I was replacing mine in the e46... maybe next time!
Nice video and crocs By the way..... BUT... I dont see the coolant fluid (pink) getting into the system... I noticed that the coolant type in the car was green... I wished you could explain how to set up the vaccum device in detail and how the venturi effect works. You dont disclose that you need an air pump powerful enough to hold 25psi continually. Wish as well you could make a 991.1 or 991.2 radiator replacement video since it seems necessary to have the PIWIS tester to trigger the air bubble flush (besides the vacuum device) which can be problematic from a DIY standpoint.
10/10
Seeing your rainbow crocs near the end of the video lost you all the credibility that you had earned up to that point. 😅 Kidding! Great video, watched it to familiarize myself with the cooling system of my 996 since I've begun to smell a hint of coolant from the front right radiator area of my car. 😫
Hate the music but love you! Is it similar to 997.2?
@27.38 I swear he says bleed the vacuum system
Appeared drained coolant was green or did I hallucinate?
You are correct sadly! The previous owner was not running the correct coolant, but we went ahead and corrected that after flushing it out a bit!
Do I need to "line up" anything
Maybe your bumper cover during reassembly.
