#Copart #Porsche911 #Alternator
These how to videos are a life saver for owners that have these
Total Tech they really do. I hope this helps a lot of people. This has to hurt wallet😬
Yeah because nobody has repaired a porsche before?
yes! and this channel deserves every view. One of my favorite's.
I bought some cars off COPART then started making videos after watching you as you have given me confidence to do it myself!
Would you be able to hold a vacuum on the coolant system if the head was cracked? I think you maybe lucky, fingers crossed for you.
That pulley on the Amazon Alternator looks like a standard pulley where as the Porsche Alternator looks like a clutch pulley.
The clutch pulley allows the alternator's heavy rotor to overrun, absorbing shock, each time the alternator cycles on and off (about 3 times per second). The result is smoother idle, no belt chirp, increased life of alternator, power steering pump, water pump, sepentine belt and automatic belt tensioner.
The whole pulley thing has been something that looks and sounds good but it's not needed. That's why most aftermarket alternators don't have then.
And just because you copied and paste something from a website doesn't mean your right. Lol
@@Erik-ms9wt First of all: learn the difference between your and you're. Second, even if he did copy and paste, doesn't mean he or the information is wrong. Thirdly, need and want and ideal are relative to how well you want an assembly to function. And I'm not even a fanboy of technology just because it's new.
@@Erik-ms9wt Erik, the clutched pulley does serve a purpose. The very early 1999 996s, like mine (March 1998 build), came with the standard pulley. Porsche found that the accessory belt would slip on the pulley and eventually shred and fail during aggressive down shifts on the track. If you drive the car only on the street, the clutch is not as important. I track my car so I installed the later Bosch alternator with the clutch. My old alternator needed a rebuild anyway.
@@Erik-ms9wt i copied and pasted it because it was easier and faster that trying to type it soft cock,
Why do you think car manufacturers spend billions of pounds a year on R&D,
Do you think they decided to fit a clutch pulley on the alternator just so they didn't have to spend an extra 20p on a nut to hold a pulley on? No they did it because it was less damaging to the rest of the pulleys and belts on the engine, that alternator he replaced it with was probably old stock from an older Porsche model but still fit the newer application,
Some people will argue over anything on here
#49 only online for 6 minutes. Lol keep the content coming loving it. Porches are extremely finicky. They're related to Satan's car
What’s satans car?
I live in Del City I love your videos I Hate watching your copart walk arounds only because I miss all the good deals
Best video for this repair. The air hammer to push the bushing is the key. I have friends who wasted hours trying to pound it back with a regular hammer. Even a very small air compressor will run an air hammer for 30 second shots, which is all you need.
good video!!!! I have some good advice for those who read the comments. First piece of advice: if you use the manufacture name and serial number from the alternator. along with the make and model of the car it's on. you can get the new voltage regulator and brushes to repair the existing alternator with. that is very normally what goes out on the alternator. it's under the black plastic cover on the back of the alternator. very easy to replace. and the parts are far cheaper then a new alternator on a modern car.
second piece of advice for randy: some thought on building a shop. talk to a metal building/ shed sales lot. most of the time when you buy the metal building. the installation is free. food for thought when you get it off the back burners..
Hey randy I finally started work on my 89 supra. I bought it 10 years ago and o just have been storing it. It will be a hell of a project l. Ty for inspiring me to get my crap together 😂👍👍.
I would sell the 911 it could be more problems with the car. You have a great Camaro SS and the 350z
He will once he works out the kinks and replaces the parts that it needs now to be a decent runner he will not sale tell then he wouldn't do that to people
He sold the Z car
Randy you get the "Eternal Optimist Award" of the decade! I love it! In the face of probable complete engine failure you choose to rejoice the alternator replacement. Rock on dude...rock on!!
Wish I was rich as I'd make you and yours likewise. You DO NOT deserve the grief of that PORSCHE. You HAD better with the 93 Caprice/Impala - at least it was a normal car. That Por car is nice BUT! God loves you Randy. Good luck and thank you. TH-cam Rocks big time for allowing you to do what you do for US ALL. Thanks. Sonny (CT)
MYSPACE????????!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CRACKED ME UP
Should be possible to replace only the voltage regulators (including brushes) on these alternators(?). It was pretty easy on the older bosch alternators (only two screws).
It is the best video you have done. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing the final product.
Just a couple bits of advice. Be more gentle with the oil filler hose. They become brittle over time and you can snap one of the two ears off that are used to bolt the plastic piece to the engine. Also when you have disconnected the battery and reconnected it then go to start the car , turn the ignition switch on, wait for it to get done reading the oil level, turn it off and pull the key, repeat this another time, then on the third time start the car. This allows the electronics to calibrate the throttle position sensor properly.
Do t they make like a Camera Mount for the head or one that fits on your hat . I thought I seen either UTUBER us one maybe it is home made a UTUBER was building a Barn believe mounted to his Hat .
If you talked 50% less, your videos would be 50% better.
I like how easy you make these repairs look, Left a Like n Shared videos, Have a Great day Randy
Block of wood over the end of the bolt then use power chisel?
For the sake of a dollar or so just replace the bolt you have destroyed.........such a nice car and as a prospective buyer I would be put off by that ....if yo7 are going to do the job ...do it properly!
Loving the 911, better to be driving it than fixing it. I would be out driving it all I could in good weather with the top-down, yes.
You had the wrong bit in the air hammer, needed the flat head hammer.
Both 996 and 997 suffer with voltage drop on charging. Very rarely the alternator but the cable from the alternator runs to the front of the car and there is a joint on top of the gearbox and near the battery. These corrode and causes voltage drop so initial charge voltage is acceptable then drops away after a few minutes. First you really know is flat battery and you think you have a drain situation. Best route is to clean the joint posts and possible renew the cable if corroded. Good luck. First time around, I also changed the alternator and I am sure many others have done the same.
That is good advice. Probably nothing wrong with alternator, especially at such low mileage. Pity Randy didn't have that advice earlier: could have saved money and been a more satisfying fix. If the fault actually is the a high resistance/poor contact of the cable/connector the the problem should reappear even with the new alternator.
Now I think about it all you should do initially to locate the fault is connect a voltmeter between the positive stud terminal at the alt. and ground. Should be around 14V or a bit more. If not then you know the problem is in the alternator or regulator. If voltage is good (i.e 14V or more) then connect voltmeter to battery plus post and ground to see how much the voltage has dropped along the cable/terminal - if the voltage has dropped significantly under 14V and was 14V or over at the alt. then you've found the problem.
LOL. I don't hate myself enough to buy a Porsche, Randy.
Oh, I do. With my boxster, I learned one of the central lessons of owning a Porsche. Cheap Porsches end up costing more than expensive ones. My 01 has been a money pit.
Like i said before the the Porsche is a turd. They sould have named it POORSHIT....With people with thick wallets..I'll stick with CHEVROLET'S....
I'm so glad Tom Arnold has found fun things to do....
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.
When you put the new Hoses on and get the system full pressure test it over night if it leaks down just start it. If it has a rough idle at first start in the first 3 seconds without giving it any throttle shut it down immediate pull the plugs you will see which cylinder is having trouble then diagnose from there with a compression test. You will find the problem immediately and which cylinder. I have used red dye just a little. It will not hurt the system at all. A tea spoon of it in the system will show you what is wrong. Plus you will see if the A/C is dripping or if it is Coolant. That is a Tough Motor. but remember Porsche like many Manufacturers put just a little bit of stop leak in the system just like they do when the vehicles are on the line being assembled and ran. Trade Secret LOL.. That cooling system has so many connections it is better to be safe than sorry. Anyway it will be a nice car to play with and sell.. Excellent buy. Excellent Video good content.
It's a PORSHA.....not PORSH.....Hence, two syllables.....PORSCHE :) You're welcome
If the alternator bushings are ok .. all u needed to do was swap out the voltage regulator by a new one and kept it original :-)
I think it was changed already anyway
Buddy ditch it while it's running I promise you 💰💰💰💰💰💳💳💳💳💳💳💳💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💶💶💶💶💶
Is this a old video 😂 I thought the z was sold already?
On belts that have a self-tensioner, slide the belt off at a non-grooved idler pulley if you can. Way easier than trying to pull it off a grooved pulley. Not only was I a mechanic for 20 years, but I stayed at a holiday inn express
Just a heads up man the alternator you took off had a clutch pulley on it your replacement did not that may cause problems down the road . That clutch pulley reduces tortional vibration to your belt drive components it absorbs shock during shut off and deceleration. Just an FYI
I loved today’s content, don’t mean to be hard on you but people aren’t getting to a million subscribers by just talking in their videos. I watched a TH-cam’r do an entire turbo install from beginning to end in real time for about an hour and 15 mins not because I was bored but because it was good content.
If not mistaken ! Putting soap into a cooling system and then boiling up the water , might just create excessive additional pressure in the water cooling system ?? The bubbles expanding might just burst a water hose or two ! I have seen some shit in my days but this is a true classic !!!
I would have used some proper stuff : Wynn's Extreme Cooling System Degreaser removes oil and sludge in the cooling system of vehicles. 911 have the radiators at the front of the car , so jacking up the rear whilst draining the water , will not allow the water from the front of the car to fully drain. Remove drain plug and place car on small race type ramps to lift the front of car ;)
That’s easy try taking one off of a 2009 Buick Lucerne Super with a Northstar! That’s super fun!!
Keep telling yourself that $7100 is cheap for a porshe with a cracked head. Might as well remortgage your house now.
The Alternator didn't look that old the old one. I'm wondering if you could of found someone to rebuild it locally and saved money.
"I talk too much"? You could talk the paint off of an old barn. But still good content and valuable to anyone who is worried about working on their own car, Porsche or not.
now that u have most of the repairs out of the way...this would be good time to add a couple turbos underneath...It is a Poach, by the way, it needs to run and play like a proper Poach.
Two things: 1. Who's in the garage? Lol 2. Never go by feel when you tighten using power tools. Always double check torque using a torque wrench or just with your arm if it's not a crucial fastener.
the Porsches are pri-modonna's yes but they want you to work on them, they make maint easy they want that car to last forever don't be afraid take that fucker apart its never going to be worth less than 20k so fuck it !
Only god knows - not even you - why you did not choose to replace ALL hoses, where it is evident that they are all suffering from the same issue.
just noticed something aar.....are your windows not dropping when you open the doors? they should drop a 1/2 inch to clear the top.
Did you ever try a bipod set up might help you out quite a bit without using your left hand to hold a camera at the exact same time and there's those tiny bipods that flexes I don't know the exact name
LOL, I hope by now you bought yourself a nice tripod!! Thanks for the vids!!!
Can't you guys get alternator s rebuilt instead of buying new? It may be porsche but it's still just an alternator?
Probably just a Bosch part!
I actually don't think these 996 deserve their bad rep.. Thx for vid m8..
Hey there, I know this video is over two years old now but would you know what was causing the fluctuation at idle?
It seems like half you trouble is trying to do it one handed, also, you might have been able to just change the voltage regulator.
You have got to get some sort of strap or something for your go-pro so you're not one-handing it all the time (ok, that'll sound weird out of context). You've mentioned it too many times now, it's obviously that big of a bother to you lol
Doubt it has a cracked head. I don't think the cooling system would have retained 20lbs of pressure if it had a cracked head.
Loving the porsche content. Greetings from germany. I sadly dont know why we make our cars that weird and finicky.
Rare for an alternator to go bad. A voltage regulator is cheaper and once you have the alternator out it is easy ro replace the vr. On old style systems where people over tightened the belt they would ruin the alternators.
You should have tied that oil filler tube out of the way. Bungee cord. With air box out it would have been good to check condition of the air filter.
With the oil in the cooling system the hoses are going to fail. So you may want to start looking into replacing all the rubber hoses for the cooling system
The Porsche was designed to be easy and fast to work on. You do have to read the instructions first as there are some unusual procedures.
Blown engine? Why did the ynot replace all the hoses when they replaced the engine? What a crappy job the did when they put that new engine in.
this video was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too quick. it didn't seam like a Auto Auction Rebuilds video. oh well till next time.
Randy you could use one of those chemical test it see if oil is getting back in to the water you know what I mean mate can’t wait to see you driving it too
Do you think you think that the detergent used in the cooling system reacted with the rubber hoses? Just a thought.
You will never get your money back for this thing, you should cut your losses now before its too late
now it's 3 videos ...and no answer. I am not loosing it ...much - now it's days I have to wait.
Randy try and get a camera man because I feel so sorry for you having to do everything with one hand.
Greats work keep it up 👍🏼
Buy a tripod and stop milking this car for views, dude.
Rebuild shop could have fixed it and kept everything intact.
Not sure why you didn’t do an oil change to see if water is in oil? Then you know it’s a head issue for sure.
Scotty Kilmer is always right, and 94 Toyota Celica is the best car in the world.
Is it possible the detergent used in the cooling system caused the hoses to swell?
thumbs down for having your door open into the other porsche.
Great content, but you are right, you really talk too much ;)
Don't throw that alternator out, someone will rebuild it.
Some guy had the same as with the coolant pipes blowing off on his 911 and the best thing ended up doing was welding a lug of some sort onto the pipe coming off the engine and putting jubilee clips or some sort of fixing like that as they blow off all the time it's a 911 common problem hope this helps you
th-cam.com/video/hBxAXZhGzNc/w-d-xo.html here's one way of doing it
If you want an old sports car for the weekend, cheap an easy to work on...go with a car with front engine and good supply of parts. Like a Corvette or a Mercedes SL (with coil springs convertion).
Nobody wants to be in an old shitty Corvette.
Was that new engine used? Rebuilt or brand new?
i wood be worry about the pipe on the right side that fold
I didn't know shoenice had two channels!!!!
Mate change all those big radiator hoses at the back !
I love your videos #worthethumbsup,I support you!
Not having much luck with hoses!
Another good video really enjoyed it thank you
You almost shut the hell up. Then ruined it.
Get a damn camera stand or two. You video recordings are painful to watch.
Maybe you could donate one to him? lol
I stay away from Amazon for parts. I use RockAuto. Either way, another great video. Where the tires stretched on the rims or are they the proper size? Thanks Randy.
I always sketch a quick diagram before I remove those belts.
Erik Renner why when you can snap a picture with phone or digital camera or tablet
Be careful - cheap knock off Porsche parts can be just that: cheap. Not always a good investment to save a few bucks when they fail quickly. And FYI, Suncoast Porsche in FL is a good place to buy orig Porsche parts if your local dealer is too costly.
I enjoid this video a lot that I got out the popcorn for it!
You where at ease and relaxed the hall time,you made it look like you're
Working on a corolla🏆!
P.S. There's another way your subscribers can help this channel by not
Skipping the commercials. If you can explain it to everybody .+it's easy!
Best wishes
Randy is going fast for the 200k subs 👍
9:32 the Nike Air Monarchs!!!
I need to do this on my drive also. Voltage seems to be hunting on cold start but is fine after. This is a lifesaver. How long did it take you from end to end?
This was years ago I really don’t remember but it was an easy job
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds thank you
Hello Randy. Glad to see you working on your Porsche.Hope everything turns out the best for you.Looking forward to see you driving the Porsche on an Oklahoma Freeway with your fiance.Keep up the good work.Greeting from Venezuela!!!!
You're doing great Randy!
I have a 2004 996 and like you said don't be afraid of them . Drive the piss out of them they love it . Best sports car you can have under 20k . If you drive one you'll be sold . Great cars .
We both need to get a cameraman! Or woman!
Why is the key on the left side....
Right nice job i love the videos
Using Shout! to clean the coolant system is fairly brilliant. I suspect you might have more problems with hose deterioration, tho.
You do seem to like to ramble on, a bit.
I love the videos where you're actually turning wrenches man. I wish you nothing but success.( in a way I guess that's kind of selfish of me) the bigger success you become the more videos I get to watch. Awesome job man
Now that's what I'm talkin about Randy Grease monkey videos the Carnage videos of good too that beautiful 350Z haven't sold yet man I wish I had the money I would have been on the next thing smoking out there to Oklahoma
