Your instructions are absolutely the best! I don’t even own a Porsche but I watch your videos just to learn and I can tell you have worked on these cars plenty of times! Thank you!!
Man, this was very long, but GREAT VIDEO!!!! showed all the things really needed & some basic mistakes. I've seen a few much shorter but they're not anywhere as helpful as this was! Really appreciate all the details & now I feel a lot more comfortable doing my own replacement.
Thank you so much just finished my removal and replacement of my starter. Couldn't have done it without you guys thank so much. I think I would recommend loosing the 3 bolts on the coolant lines. Closest to the firewall. It was the only way I could do the twist to get starter out and back in. I do have a question. After I put it back together I have some smoking off the throttle body . Is their a tork requirement on those bolts ?
Excellent video. Very well filmed and nice clear instructions. Just one comment from me, please do not wear a watch when working on cars, I started in the motor trade just over fifty years ago and I've seen guys lose their wrists because their watch strap has caught a live battery connection, the same also applies to rings. Please remove them first it only takes a few seconds. Stephen Ideson
@@ALittleOG yes Easy just looks daunting if you never did it. Sure beats crawling under car. Make sure you have new intake gaskets and if it still has original plastic cooling pipes replace them while you are there. It will save you another starter or other overheating issues in the future.
@@wetsoup awesome, thanks a million for the quick response. Just had mine towed to my house after months of dealing with bad starter, she finally left me stranded and I'm close to pulling the trigger. I had mechanic also suggest new plastic vent line and crank case vent hose also. Do you think these are needed? He didn't get into it, just quoted me on a starter swap and said those things should be replaced also. Thanks again!
@@ALittleOG mine is an 04 and all of the vent lines were in good shape BUT i think some people might screw up the connectors. You just squeeze them in to release. Some get overzealous and break them. Dont over think those connectors squeeze first then separate dont pull and then squeeze or you will break them.
I have a 2010 Porsche Cayenne. When the key goes in the dash it reads steering faulty. We replaced the steering column modular, Porsche told this was the issue but no luck fixing it. Thanks for the videos I watch u guys all the time!
VIDEO REQUEST: how about a video showing how to replace the gasket on the front-top of both valve covers? There is a black cap on both valve covers, you pop that off and expose the wire going into a solenoid, and there's a gasket around the solenoid.
I traced it down was driving and all the electrical power in car failed. It started with the radio, next the dash and lighting in car. I think the alternator died in the car. Do you have a video on replacement everywhere I looked the cost is $4,000 US dollars to repair.
Holy f..... Remind me to NEVER buy a porsche. The German engineer said this is way too simple to work on. Let's redesign it so it's almost impossible to work on!😁
am i fucking crazy or is he completely wrong about not needing to drain coolant and remove those lines to get the starter motor out?!?! shit is way to big to fit through the space next to the lines
Brilliant detailed video, BUT, can you put your money where your mouth is and prove to us that the starter can be removed with the collant pipes in place! People say it can be done but I've never actually seen anyone manage it.
I can report back to say, you need to loosen the top clamp that holds the metal coolant pipes down, this then gives you enough wiggle room to remove the starter.
@@RathOne123 nothing leaked at all, the top metal clamp gives you a few extra mm in slack to slide the alternator out, it doesn't disturb the pipe connections. Without doing that it's impossible to remove. Car all back together and working perfectly, it's not a bad job if you take your time following this video like i did.

what were some basic mistakes? Just so i can look out for if I do tackle this job.

this is why you disconnect the battery... same thing will happen with metal tools
Nice video man I have a 2006- cayenne s and this really helps, keep making cayenne videos
Cant express how helpful all these videos are! I think i would’ve given up on my project car if it weren’t for you guys! Thank you
Excellent video - the level of detail you go into really helps. I'm going to do my starter in the morning.
Did you do your starter???
Did you end up doing it?

9 minutes into the video and I give you my respect and thanks for your time and great video
I did all kinds of things but I couldnt take out the starter without removing the coolant pipes.
Do you guys have any videos on the alternator/generator replacement for the 03-10 cayenne?
Can you show how to switch out the starter with the pipes still in?
I follow all your video's and i can tell you show in all your video's good information how to do it by your own car..
Thank you

Thanks for the videos I watch u guys all the time!
did you have it programmed because that is coded to the vehicle
Awesome job
we need a video of how to instal the new one with the mainfold intake gasket
VIDEO REQUEST: how about a video showing how to replace the gasket on the front-top of both valve covers? There is a black cap on both valve covers, you pop that off and expose the wire going into a solenoid, and there's a gasket around the solenoid.
I absolutely love your videos!
Great video thanks
So what you’re telling me you normally have to undo the motor to change the starter what a fucking nightmare
What is the name of the hose removed at 14:37 into the video?
Thank you!
2013 Cayenne GTS V8. Is it close to this operation?
Thanks for the video. Where are you located? I mean which state
Very good and informative video
Do we have to absolutely disconnect the fuel line?
Great video.. does this differ from the 4,8?
I traced it down was driving and all the electrical power in car failed. It started with the radio, next the dash and lighting in car. I think the alternator died in the car. Do you have a video on replacement everywhere I looked the cost is $4,000 US dollars to repair.
Do you ever respond to your supporters?
good job good video thank

And I guess I saw the video more last. Did you loaded again?
do you need to remove the throttle body , it missing from this video
It actually comes out with the intake its attached to it.
14:08 you completely skipped that step of removing the beginning part of the intake manifold 😑
are you fuckkin kidding me dude!!!!!
the starter is under the intake!!
jesusss....bet the dealer would want like 1500 bukks to do this.
im so fucking pissed why on EARTH would they place is there.. did u end up getting urs fixed?
at how many torch do you have to torque the manifold ?
Holy f..... Remind me to NEVER buy a porsche. The German engineer said this is way too simple to work on. Let's redesign it so it's almost impossible to work on!😁
The starter comes out without opening the cooling pipe Slightly By crooked the starter and remove it
So you didn’t have to take the coolant pipes off or loosing them to get yours out?
Something seems to draining my battery
Did u figure it out. I have same problem
Me too
I have a problem starting my Porsche Cayenne. It takes several cranking before it starts. Pls help

What if mine doesn't have the tabs to push in for the vacuum hose?
am i fucking crazy or is he completely wrong about not needing to drain coolant and remove those lines to get the starter motor out?!?! shit is way to big to fit through the space next to the lines
Toyota sequoia is the same design
Brilliant detailed video, BUT, can you put your money where your mouth is and prove to us that the starter can be removed with the collant pipes in place!
People say it can be done but I've never actually seen anyone manage it.
I've removed the starter several times with the coolant pipes in place.
