I think that motor oil in the cooling system because of its viscosity allowed for improper pressure build up and that in turn caused the weak hoses to pop . I'm wondering if the same thing can happen with laundry detergent..
The hoses are 20 years old anyway. Good preventative maintenance to just change them anyway. Better at home than on the side of the road or getting towed to a shop!
@ 16:43 - Noooo Randy. PLEASE. If there is one car you do not 'have fun with some mods' its a Porsche 911. I will keep repeating it "Originality is everything". Keep it original and you will find a buyer looking to pay Porsche money and you will make a profit. Mod it and you lose the genuine Porsche buyers and you are in Lottery Land. It is a lovely car though Randy. Well done finding it and restoring it to good health. God drives Porsche and he will bless you! ...lol If the oil does return I would be looking at the oil / coolant intercooler not a damaged head. It runs too well for that.
You are right. The more he spends on mods the less the car is worth. When I go looking for cars and I see mods I have to ask who did them and what was the quality of their work and how much is it going to cost me to get it back to where it was. He should leave it alone.
@@Ryan-mg7pd Porsche buyers look for, amongst many things, a particular Porsche sound. Its why Porsche never ever change it and spend $ Mns making sure they keep to that magic Porsche formula. The minute that car is fired up and it doesn't sound like a Porsche the Porsche buyer walks away. Go add 'straight throughs' to a Corvette or Viper if you must but some marques are special - Porsche, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari. I am also not sure those wheels actually add anything but it is what it is and Randy has done great finding and buying a classic car. It would be a big mistake to remove the 'class' from the 'classic'. Just IMHO of course.
It depends on what you intend on doing with the car. If you want to make a profit. Make it the best stock example you can. BUT that won't get you TH-cam views and subs. If you want to have a bit of fun and make it unique and your own, mod the heck out of it. It's just a car not a Picasso or Monet. Put an exhaust on it, cold air intake, carbon fiber wing, nice rims, lower it 2", get a tune. That equals subs, views, and more money than he would have gotten from the car if he sold it as stock.
Randy,,,those hoses are splitting open because they are old...but when you do the vacuum it spreads the chords inside and hence splits them open. We stopped using this airlift machine in our shop for this exact reason.
I would put my money on some turkey having put the oil into the cooling system thinking he was putting it into the sump. Having said that you will have to replace ALL of the rubber hoses or you will soon blow one and cook another engine. Probably a $500 investment to save $8000 to $10000.
Awesome work. The problems you're running into is due to the previous owners lack of maintenance , nothing more and not the cars fault. Kind glad someone who loves tinkering has this car now and working on it.
That happened to my Acura after the radiator failed and mixed the transmission fluid with the coolant after that I had a rubber hose blow every few days ...been good after I replaced all the rubber hoses
@@RTSELLS 25 inches you mean. That should not damage a good hose. If a hose or any other part fails after vacuum filling, then the part was already compromised.
The coolant hoses was probably not oil resistant in the first place. It seems that this would be a perfect time to contact FCP Euro and ask them to put a coolant hose kit together for you Randy.
I was thinking more along the lines of running water instead of coolant may have caused a lot higher pressure in the system that burst a hole in it. Water boils at a much lower temperature than modern coolants.
@@sinformant ...but the car never reached 212 degF based on the temp gauge....if it was below 212 then the pressure developed wouldn't be much different. The broken hose looks soft and pliable...all the signs of having aged/degraded possibly made worse by the oil in the coolant.
The hoses are reinforced rubber, when you pull a vacuum on them you are pulling against the grain, they are designed to expand not contract. That kit might save time but its costing money. Essentially the hoses have a designed matrix embedded in them thats ideal for the forces involved i.e. straight line, curve t-piece etc. When you pull a vacuum you are reversing those forces. I wouldn't bother. That kit is more harm than good.
Hi Randy. I would replace all the rubber coolant hoses. Buy off e bay. If oil still gets into cooling system, its probably a crack in the oil cooler. Rev.
My 01 Boxster S has the oil in coolant. Fantastic to watch your work on this car. Yes, I had to keep replacing hoses till I sold the car. Love Porsches.
one round of flushing is all you really needed to get almost all the erl out. sure you may have some residual erl left, but, thats a good thing...the coolant would still do its job, the small amount of erl in the system shouldnt affect the rubber hoses swelling hardly at all if any....and you would have extra lubrication in the system for the water pump and heater valves for longer life.
Although a Porsche is not on my horizon, your experience was fascinating enough to stay with the story through the end. Nice camera work, despite the high- and low-light conditions, and very much enjoyed your narrative of discovery. Most important, you helped dispel the myth, once and for all, that a Porsche is somehow immune to all the annoyances of a regular commuter car-- broken hoses, poor service at the hands of "somebody", and discovery of really bad materials design (as though the OEM wanted the part to fail). Thanks for the ride-- notice the superior yes-to-no ratio.
just watched this playlist, as soon as you put your finger in the coolant tank i said somebody put oil in the wrong spot as it was pure clean oil, the more you looked the more to me it seemed somebody did an oil change and filled up the coolant tank, it was FULL lol they proceeded to start the car which killed the original engine, that engine was changed as we know now with a brand new 1 but they did not clean out the coolant tank and as the system expanded and contracted some of the oil went through the system which is why the oil level never dropped and coolant never went typical milkshake colour just an dirty water colour, My wife whom is petrified of cars and car crashes also enjoys your vids especially the copart walk arounds, so its a win for me, greetz from Western Australia.
Great video. Go ahead and replace all the rubber hoses and plastic hoses you can get to in the engine bay. It will help you out and eliminate all your troubles. VAG cars tend to have crazy hoses to go out. It's always the weird hoses too.
Just replace all coolant system hoses. It will be less of a headache, especially now that you know the block should be mostly clear of oil in the coolant passages.
You have a ground strap cable ground problem. I see the running voltage in your car at 12 when it should be around 13.5-14v. it's the ground strap that connects to the back of the alternator, starter, and the frame. cable costs around 50-100. You'll know that you really have an issue that after the car is warm it's tough to start, slow to turn over.
Yeah, Randy. Go ahead and replace all the coolant hoses. No sense in dicking around waiting for them to fail one at a time. Looks like a giant win. Good for you!😃
Richard Simmons workout going on for all of the rubber parts in the cooling system! Maybe stuff a few Big Macs into the radiator to harden up the arteries? Just pulling your chain, love your content Randy, best of luck to your repair efforts!
Showed my friend the last 911 vid as he works at a porsche dearlships and works on 911's all day long, he said look at the hoses if NO fix its internal and you need to bring it in for a check over? Its the best I could do for you, I love your 911 and you will get a great price for it👍
Due to the oil mixed with the coolant the temperature fluctuates inside the housing which resulted the rubbers to go soft and eventually crack. Another thing is that the air vaccumed multiple times to fill in soap liquid also crunched the rubber opposite direction. Very entertaining. I learning a lot from your channel. Very interesting
Good stuff...your commentary is spot on and so is your video. I can actually see what you are talking about and your camera is more steady than a number of other channels (shaky camera work is the bane of any TH-cam viewing experience). Too bad about the other hoses breaking, but, at least you weren't in the middle of the freeway when it happened. Just sub'd and thumbs up!!
If that small y hose was $50 at the dealer and the hoses are all probably damaged from it oil in the system you should probably replace them all, but don't buy them from the dealer. You can probably get all the rest of the hoses from an aftermarket parts house for the price of that one at the $tealer! Gotta love VW/Audi hoses, wonder what a hose engineer makes at Porsche? I agree on no mod's get out of that thing before you are in too deep, let the new owner mod to taste!
Older hoses will split after being put under a vacuum, even new hoses will at times, the vacuum draws all the moisture out of the system and the rubber hoses, plus the rubber hoses are built for outward pressure , great video I like these 👍👍
Use a conventional bleeding procedure, the hoses are compromised from the oil so the vacuum fill process is causing the bad hoses to break when they collapse.
Randy before considering the head have you considered the engine oil cooler, you could remove it and have it pressure tested, if it was it could save disturbing the head,
Dawn dish soap works well. As does cascade powder premixed with warm water mixed in. I have used the combination a couple times to clean up after a blown head gasket. Followed by a lot of clean water flush then a flush of water and coolant flush. Then flush with distilled. Then filled with coolant. I never saw any trace of oil in the coolant system again..
Blue 996 Convertible looks sweet even if you did spend the top $j still say it’s worth it with bearings corrected and all other problems fixed you re good to go. Beautiful looker - convertible no less. My thinking is because of the Shout , the soap bubbles created more gas pressure thereby blowing any weak link ( hose) thus your leak on a minor hose. Tanks for the review .
I had a 996 and those hoses do blow so worth ripping out and replacing that last big one that was clasping. Cracked heads are pretty rare from others i know in the Porsche club. I think you will find you got a bargain may man.
Randy, just get all the rubber hoses replaced. Save the headache. Get it mechanically sound then worry about mods. FCP Groton was where I got my Genuine Volvo parts many years ago for my 1993 940GLE Turbo Wagon. FCP group is good in ensuring quality original parts.
Randy - Check out Wheeler Dealers season 17, episode 1. They work on a 2000 Porsche 911/996 convertible. The big problem they say with the 996 is the intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing. If it fails it can trash the engine. They were concerned with theirs and it only had 65,000 miles.
Replacing coolant on a MGTF135 mid engine car I removed the radiator (at the front), flushed it many times and then did lots of heat cycles with clean water. Surprised at how long radiator took to get hot. Enjoyed doing job right. Wasn't any reason to do flush other than it hadn't been changed for a while (a long while).
I thought the vacuum tool was a great idea. Sure the oil had the hoses soft and the vacuum pretty much was the reason they failed rather quickly. You saved yourself a whole lot of headaches down the road and if you're selling it you can be confident you fixed all the weak points in the cooling system. Great videos I really enjoyed them and thanks for sharing the vacuum pump I'll be purchasing one soon. Keep making videos of buying and selling one of my great passions.
Hello Randy. Get the 2 new Porsche hoses and hope the best of luck for you.I can not wait to see the Porsche running down on the freeway.Keep up the good work.Greeting from Venezuela!!!!!!
When I bought my 98 Mustang Gt With 96,000 miles on it, four years ago, it was obvious that the only maintenance the original owner did was change the oil regularly. I know this because the engine doesn't smoke or burn oil. I did, however have to replace everything else. Plugs, wires, radiator, hoses, intake manifold(leaking gasket), brakes, front and rear wheel bearings and seals, fuel pump, lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, sway bar links and had the transmission rebuilt. The good news is, I did almost all of the work myself, in my own driveway, and know most of the in's and out's of my car! It makes you one with your vehicle!!!
6:30 Pro tip: When removing a bad hose, cut the hose before taking off clamps. You can move the pipes anywhere that makes it easy to get the clamps off. 19:00 Sounds like you need to replace all the coolant hoses in the car. They are probably all oil-damaged. Just bite the bullet, and replace them all.
I like the content with this car! Please keep it up. I know European cars are difficult to work on, but boy it pays off when they are running right! Believe me .. I’ve had dozens of them
If you gave Bob Moore your VIN would they give you the repair history on your car? Would be nice to know the details on your current engine. Rebuilt? New? Warranty on engine? Replaced how many miles ago?
If you are not loosing Oil and your heater is blowing hotter air than before then it is just residual oil as far as the hoses change all of them when it's running clean . As far as hoses they have shops that make specialty hoses maybe Oklahoma does aswell you might as well change all hoses that were in contact with oil
Waterless coolant is often a bad idea, it has nothing like the heat capacity of water, a few devotees like it because it has an extremely high boiling point so cars with marginal cooling don't boil over but in fact are still overheating.
dude, if you are gonna do this stuff in your driveway, getting a quick jack is almost a must. you can get them relatively cheap and they store up and take very little space. I highly rec. you get one.. and go for a 5K lb unit so you can also do SUV's etc
With as much oil that was in the cooling system its going to eating all the rubber hoses from the inside out. Your best luck would be to replace all the rubber hoses. It’s going to be battle. Find a silicon hose kit.
If you stop putting a high negative vacuum on the cooling system then you will stop blowing out hoses. But really like the porsche content😊 You should post a link to the vids on some porsche forums, for some professional advice and of course views
Since the oil was in the coolant system, you might need to replace all of the coolant hoses because of the cross contamination. Even on American made cars it's recommended that you replace all hoses when you get oil in the coolant.
That little hose looks like a type of fuse, pressure release. Better that then the aluminum piping. Temperatures of all that piping around probably affects whats running through that little pipe.
I can see where the vacuum helps... what did contribute to the breaking of the already compromised hoses better yet find out now then on the road with the full regular coolant
Nice video but I really like it better when you fix the old stuff up. I wish you could find another old chevy truck and do it right. New paint, interior ect.
Great job!! I believe you scored 👍🏻. And I think you just need to have all the rubber hoses replaced the oil will eat the rubber hoses and soften them.
I bet someone put power steering fluid in the coolant tank. It softens and swells rubber hoses. I worked in a shop for a couple of years and saw it a handful of times. It was usually in the brake master cylinder. It would lock up the brakes and we would have to change the master cylinder, calipers, and everything else that had rubber seals.
That occurs from the engine being blown, it blew up like a balloon. Those Y joints are the weak link, seen it with other engines. One make that is a pain was a Town and Country, had a Y plastic connector between three aluminum hoses and the thing would split from the heat. Replaced it with aftermarket one so that was one whole piece of plastic than to plastic welded ones together. Good luck with the car. And that is oil in the cooling system not water in the cooling system.
I think that you have a good engine and you are correct in your guess about the old coolant being left in the system,,, I would think that you would see fresh oil in the cooling system each time you ran it and that the oil level would be going down, if the engine had a cracked head,, :-)
Hi randy Makes me think that the preasure sucking the pipes like that might be causing your pipes to go wrong if you think of a balloon that stretches if these pipes are old they would be already streched and now they are stretching the other way Just a thought Good work by the way
And, Clutch's, pressure plates and throw out bearings are "not" under warranty ! Automatic transmissions "are" ! Clutch's and all related components are considered wear out items , just like brake pads. Not under warranty.
I would order the hoses on line rather than at the dealer. These hoses are all compromised since it was in contact with the oil for so long. Good content buddy, hopefully the Porsche is a big win for you.
Uberman ! when the head is cracked white steam comes out the exhaust even when it is hot outside. This is not happening. Also the crank case will have water in it and this also is not happening. It is most likely fixed. Flush it out with water. I guessing you have success. Someone poured oil in the coolant and caused all these problems.Good fix. Your right oil soften up the hoses and probably more to come needing to be replaced.
I love your videos Randy and I know almost NOTHING about cars ! My son's 1998 Porsche Boxter 2500L ground to a halt recently and the RAC man told him his engine was 'tight' after jacking it up ! The problem actually turned out to be the alternater and my tiny knowledge leads me to think he had ignored a warning light !!!! Anyway £200 rather than THOUSANDS OF POUNDS was a good outcome wasn't it ? Northumberland, England.
The soft hoses indicate that there was oil in the coolant for A LONG TIME. So that is good news. It means that the OLD engine was the one with the oil in coolant. New engine is PROBABLY REAL GOOD.
I can't believe the prices at that dealer. Here in the SF Bay Area it's MSRP and thousands more. It would be a worth while road trip to buy there and drive back.
Oil in the coolant made the rubber Y hose soft and all the other rubber hoses. Bite the bullet and replace the hoses.
Kellys Peppers
100% correct. All rubber hoses are compromised.
needs to make sure no oil is getting into the system first. or those new hoses will go bad too.
I think that motor oil in the cooling system because of its viscosity allowed for improper pressure build up and that in turn caused the weak hoses to pop . I'm wondering if the same thing can happen with laundry detergent..
I agree
The hoses are 20 years old anyway. Good preventative maintenance to just change them anyway. Better at home than on the side of the road or getting towed to a shop!

Good tool for selling a full hose replacement & cooling system service ! = $3,000.00 + ??
Oil destroys coolant hoses. This is not surprising
I would put my money on some turkey having put the oil into the cooling system thinking he was putting it into the sump. Having said that you will have to replace ALL of the rubber hoses or you will soon blow one and cook another engine. Probably a $500 investment to save $8000 to $10000.
My mates car had oil in the coolant but no pipework burst and the oil must have been in the pipes when he got it. 3 years
I would be skeptical of vacuuming my cooling system. You’re asking for trouble.
After seeing the hoses collapse under vacuum, I knew you were going to have problems with them.
Yes, why would you ever want to see 20 year old rubber hoses contort and pinch like they were never supposed to.
Awesome work. The problems you're running into is due to the previous owners lack of maintenance , nothing more and not the cars fault. Kind glad someone who loves tinkering has this car now and working on it.
The oil in the cooling system is probably in the process of destroying all of the rubber hoses in the system. They swell up, get soft, and burst.

When I bought my 98 Mustang Gt With 96,000 miles on it, four years ago, it was obvious that the only maintenance the original owner did was change the oil regularly. I know this because the engine doesn't smoke or burn oil. I did, however have to replace everything else. Plugs, wires, radiator, hoses, intake manifold(leaking gasket), brakes, front and rear wheel bearings and seals, fuel pump, lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, sway bar links and had the transmission rebuilt. The good news is, I did almost all of the work myself, in my own driveway, and know most of the in's and out's of my car! It makes you one with your vehicle!!!
Randy you're a 5 stars man, amazing content, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Randy, this is incredible content. Can't wait till the next video!
Don't screw with hoses that may or may not develop a leak,do it right Randy and replace them all.
I think that would be best also. Because of age and oil.
Randy just wanted to say thanks for making great content i look forward to your videos every day keep it up brother.
Can’t wait for the next instalment. Good luck.
6:30 Pro tip: When removing a bad hose, cut the hose before taking off clamps. You can move the pipes anywhere that makes it easy to get the clamps off.
19:00 Sounds like you need to replace all the coolant hoses in the car. They are probably all oil-damaged. Just bite the bullet, and replace them all.
I like the content with this car! Please keep it up. I know European cars are difficult to work on, but boy it pays off when they are running right! Believe me .. I’ve had dozens of them
Still my dream car you lucky duck. Even if every hose has to be swapped. Its still a 💎
If you gave Bob Moore your VIN would they give you the repair history on your car? Would be nice to know the details on your current engine. Rebuilt? New? Warranty on engine? Replaced how many miles ago?
If you are not loosing Oil and your heater is blowing hotter air than before then it is just residual oil as far as the hoses change all of them when it's running clean . As far as hoses they have shops that make specialty hoses maybe Oklahoma does aswell you might as well change all hoses that were in contact with oil
When your done you could put waterless coolant into it as someone else has said the oil has made the hoses soft. Please change thouse alloy wheels
Waterless coolant is often a bad idea, it has nothing like the heat capacity of water, a few devotees like it because it has an extremely high boiling point so cars with marginal cooling don't boil over but in fact are still overheating.
You need to look in to FCP Euro for your parts
Agree with all the earlier comments. All the hoses need to be replaced .
dude, if you are gonna do this stuff in your driveway, getting a quick jack is almost a must. you can get them relatively cheap and they store up and take very little space. I highly rec. you get one.. and go for a 5K lb unit so you can also do SUV's etc
Man bad luck with that 2nd hose popping a leak..NO mods Randy!! get it running and SELL SELL! Great video as usual...Thanks
I love all your content Randy. Love all the cars and CoPart walk-arounds. Stay cool in Oklahoma
Great video, thank you for the upload greatly appreciate it.
I plan to get my hands on a Porsche one day.
result........................excellent
With as much oil that was in the cooling system its going to eating all the rubber hoses from the inside out. Your best luck would be to replace all the rubber hoses.
It’s going to be battle.
Find a silicon hose kit.
Great update. Fun watching your channel...great content
Randy this is a great exercise in patience! Hope it pays off, but does make for interesting content. Can't wait to see the outcome.....
If you stop putting a high negative vacuum on the cooling system then you will stop blowing out hoses.
But really like the porsche content😊
You should post a link to the vids on some porsche forums, for some professional advice and of course views
Franco Anthony hard suction usually bust hoses lol
You killed it with the shout video
Since the oil was in the coolant system, you might need to replace all of the coolant hoses because of the cross contamination. Even on American made cars it's recommended that you replace all hoses when you get oil in the coolant.
Love the working videos. Thank you for doing more videos like this!!! I enjoy them all and your work. Doing great job Ramdy!! Keep it up!!!
That little hose looks like a type of fuse, pressure release. Better that then the aluminum piping. Temperatures of all that piping around probably affects whats running through that little pipe.
I can see where the vacuum helps... what did contribute to the breaking of the already compromised hoses better yet find out now then on the road with the full regular coolant
Nice video but I really like it better when you fix the old stuff up. I wish you could find another old chevy truck and do it right. New paint, interior ect.
Porsche 911’s are some of the best cars ever made. You’d never regret buying one.
Great job!! I believe you scored 👍🏻. And I think you just need to have all the rubber hoses replaced the oil will eat the rubber hoses and soften them.
Yep replacement hoses all the way great video.
I bet someone put power steering fluid in the coolant tank. It softens and swells rubber hoses. I worked in a shop for a couple of years and saw it a handful of times. It was usually in the brake master cylinder. It would lock up the brakes and we would have to change the master cylinder, calipers, and everything else that had rubber seals.
Buy that other hose also. Oil and rubber do not play well together. Better to replace it in the driveway than have it go KABOOM at 70 mph on I-35
Thanks from Pakistan, you motivated me to flip cars, i sold my land cruiser 1995 and bought 2002 prado from auction
@Curtis Fleabag yes definitely, i upgraded my car fleet without investing just my time
After watching your last video I subscribed I find it fascinating
That occurs from the engine being blown, it blew up like a balloon. Those Y joints are the weak link, seen it with other engines. One make that is a pain was a Town and Country, had a Y plastic connector between three aluminum hoses and the thing would split from the heat. Replaced it with aftermarket one so that was one whole piece of plastic than to plastic welded ones together.
Good luck with the car. And that is oil in the cooling system not water in the cooling system.
I think that you have a good engine and you are correct in your guess about the old coolant being left in the system,,, I would think that you would see fresh oil in the cooling system each time you ran it and that the oil level would be going down, if the engine had a cracked head,, :-)
Oh the suspense. By the way i have found rubber that has been saturated with oil tends to weaken.
Hi randy
Makes me think that the preasure sucking the pipes like that might be causing your pipes to go wrong if you think of a balloon that stretches if these pipes are old they would be already streched and now they are stretching the other way
Just a thought
Good work by the way
Love the Porsche content. Fingers-crossed for your success. That would be a huge win if you could fix it cheap!
It’s not just an automatic, it’s a PDK the fastest shifting transmission you should try one they’re insane. My buddy has a Turbo S and its a rocket.
pdk means porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe which in english means porsche dual cluch transmission and it is fast af
dragos2009 Yea I know
And, Clutch's, pressure plates and throw out bearings are "not" under warranty ! Automatic transmissions "are" ! Clutch's and all related components are considered wear out items , just like brake pads. Not under warranty.
Douglas Smith Who cares keep it for 6 months up to a year and sell it
I would order the hoses on line rather than at the dealer. These hoses are all compromised since it was in contact with the oil for so long. Good content buddy, hopefully the Porsche is a big win for you.
Uberman ! when the head is cracked white steam comes out the exhaust even when it is hot outside. This is not happening. Also the crank case will have water in it and this also is not happening. It is most likely fixed. Flush it out with water. I guessing you have success. Someone poured oil in the coolant and caused all these problems.Good fix. Your right oil soften up the hoses and probably more to come needing to be replaced.
Repaired the hose aneurysm! I did not know you were a vascular surgeon!
I love your videos Randy and I know almost NOTHING about cars ! My son's 1998 Porsche Boxter 2500L ground to a halt recently and the RAC man told him his engine was 'tight' after jacking it up ! The problem actually turned out to be the alternater and my tiny knowledge leads me to think he had ignored a warning light !!!! Anyway £200 rather than THOUSANDS OF POUNDS was a good outcome wasn't it ? Northumberland, England.
The soft hoses indicate that there was oil in the coolant for A LONG TIME. So that is good news. It means that the OLD engine was the one with the oil in coolant. New engine is PROBABLY REAL GOOD.
Wow, what a plain! Good luck, hopefully this last hose, is the last hose to be replaced. 🍀🍀🍀 Joanne
I can't believe the prices at that dealer. Here in the SF Bay Area it's MSRP and thousands more. It would be a worth while road trip to buy there and drive back.
That is crazy awesome dude what a hose.
