Was feeling bad for wizard with Tyler's McLaren purchase...
However hoovies new 10 cylinder BMW M5 will indeed send wizards children through college...
MrMaxyield why ? He is making money
Why would you feel bad? He obviously likes working with cars and taxes accordingly.
@Brad Kells: He purchased the McLaren with dealer warranty. I'm guessing that entails having all work done at the dealer and not in a third party shop like the Wizard's. So unless the Wizard is an authorized McLaren mechanic and can service the car under warranty (or Hoovie is planning some mods that would not be done under warranty anyway), he is probably not going to make much money on the McLaren. But I can't feel too bad for the Wizard, with all the other Hoopties that Hoovie has, he should be keeping busy enough XD
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Is there an afterlife?
this is why I watch, like and subscribe. The guy teaches you without holding anything back. He deserves every good thing he has coming to him. Good job!
scotty kilmer is like a whole different person when he forgets to take his cocaine
Kalasha001 u had me rolling. Lol
LMAOO
Lol. I would love to hear Wizard’s take on Scotty Kilmer...
@@mexifinn7830 Wizard works on all the cars that Scotty HATES. You know, the "endless money pits." Which I guess they are indeed going by Hoovies experience. Haha.
Bwahahaha
Wow the guy needs to stop washing his car with sand paper.
I was about to inquire whether this car had been in an actual sandstorm.
Seriously, repeatedly running a car through a low rent gas station carwash, doesn't even nearly do that much damage to the paint. WTF happened to this car?
My thoughts exactly. I would love to do some major paint correction on that thing.
While this looks horrendous, the fact that it’s black combined with the Florescent lights is making it seem worse than it is. Still could use a pain correction
@@PabloDiablo682 LOL!
@@PabloDiablo682 It's winter, good one you can see the paint condition that's not just dirt/dust. Yeah popular winter car is a Porsche rwd with big wide tires. No that's a black or dark car with an owner that just gave up trying to keep it looking good.
The soft top needs a new polyester strings so that the soft top lines seat properly inside upper door grooves. That's an easy fix and would make a great video.
First thing I noticed too😂
1:18 LOL that made me laugh so much. You hit it hard, all that rust falling down..... lol.
So glad you finally started this channel
I like the fact he's considerate enough to use lube,,,a lot of guys just ram it in.
Hahahahah
Can we get you a headlamp? You're destroying your teeth.
Herbie Husker He put tape on the end don't worry...
Pussy
Herbie Husker Yeah. I wish he would stop doing that. Makes me think of chewing aluminum foil.
They may not be his own so he doesn't care. If they are his own then he should.
Herbie Husker i think destroying his teeth would be a reach lol
"this one is in pretty good shape" ... I assume we're just ignore the paint that appears 200 yrs old?
Was the first thing I noticed! It's really bad, it's steel wool bad.
Paint is crap, lights are terrible and don't fit properly. And the rag top looks done for. Not a well loved example in my opinion.
🤦🏻♂️ paint is the least of my worries when it comes to a Porsche.
@@JT-pt5tl actually these appear to have a soft clear coat and base color. My 00 Boxster paint looks like it had rock chips everywhere! And I take special notice when looking at Boxster 986 videos and ads for sale and I commonly find the same "rock chip" damage, especially visible in black like mine.
Pretty good to the Wizard is likely referring mechanically to the car lol
Hey wizard! I’ve watched you for awhile on Tyler’s channel and love your work! I’m a high schooler that worlds on the water cooled Porsche’s. I have 2 944’s and 1 924s and am acquiring more. I was hoping to see some videos on the 944 and 944 turbo on your channel I see them in the background of many videos. I love the work that you do and I’m trying to start my own TH-cam to help others with their 944 and 924. Thank you for the great videos!
Mans makes the Wizard look skinny lmao
Love these common problem vids! I’ll probably never own 2/3 of the cars you’ll cover, but it’s fascinating.
The Boxter howl--a factory installed elk whistle--to chase them away from you at 100+ mph
I have 12 associates and some of them don't even have gold chains!
gotta put those kids through college smh
How about a video on the Porsche 928? The manuals are still one of the best bang-for-buck buys around
I had a manual 928S, of similar vintage to the one in this video. I hated it because it's a dogleg transmission. Could never get used to it. My next one will be an automatic, if I ever get another.
Good teaching/instruction ! ...I have an old 1990 944 S2 hidden away in the Spanish hills :)
I adore that salesman :D
Jesus... did the owner clean that car with rocks.
That's 19 year old black paint for you.
Wiz, I love the way you go really fast through the boring parts. I wish I could do that when I am working on one of my vehicles.
I like the 944 turbo you were workin on in the beginning. 🤩
Great video Wizard! on the allen screws that hold the door sill trim with the levers, you don't need to undo them all the way, just enough for the u shaped plastic to slide out. The 1st time I took mine off, I undid it all the way and fell inside the hole. Spent 1 hour fishing them out. LOL. Aside from the usual car nuances, they are great little cars to work on.
The thing that amazes me about these videos is how much "secret" knowledge he has about all the ways that this specific repair can go wrong. So many years and so many repairs - how do they not all run together in his memory?
After owning an SL500, I'm afraid to own another German car.
We find that the 3 gold colored Allen bolts only need to be loosened 4-6 turns to remove the lever module beside the seat. That saves having to rethread the bolts on when reinstalling. We appreciate the quick tips - helpful & timely.
I love the shady salesman skits! Keep it up wizard!!!
keep Posting Wizard, Great Content. Love the Porsche Fixes.
LOL, this video helped me with my car and I don't even own a Porsche! But those problems could be pretty common in many other vehicles - in my case it was white/gray smoke in the morning (bad crankcase ventilation valve) and the smell of burnt oil (it's a turbo, so there's a one-way valve for the crankcase vent, and when it goes bad the turbo blows the oil through the valve cover seals and straight onto exhaust manifold).
And it was just two years after major engine overhaul, so you've saved me from going through all of this again. :D
TBH, I couldn't keep my eyes off that funky looking 928 in the background. Already noticed it in Hoovie's M5 video.
I'm surprised IMS wasn't discussed in this video.
Is that the singer from Blues Traveler?
Nice. My 3 favorite cars in one shot. I'll always favor the 944 though.
I've done all those on my Box, nice trick with the cables though that's a good tip.
The visitor reminded me of John Candy, as "Uncle Buck" (1989).
Lucky for Crazy D we don't use Trichloroethane (Trike) as a cleaner any more. If you inhaled that through a cigarette or cigar, it converted to Mustard Gas. Yay, the joys of fixing stuff!
Wizard, you should make repair videos for each of the issues you're going to fix on Hoovie's E60 M5. Would love to see them!
Iv been tempted to get a 928 because they are so cheap when theyre messed up. But parts seem alot harder to get than all the other models. It seems dumb to spend more money on a 928 than a 911
Awesome, I have the same issue to repair on my 1999 boxster. This is the first video that I have seen that shows this repair.
Another great video... excellent tips and tricks, and a bit of humor, too! Thanks, Wizard!
Really good video format, more of these please :)
I would love to have an old Boxster or 911, but those IMS bearings can be a concern. I’m surprised you didn’t mention that.
harrismi7 certain models weren’t very bad at all for IMS.. the ones before 2000 i believe
@@nismonolo It was the "mid-generation" cars that really had the issues. I've had 2 first-gen Boxsters (986) and would get another in a heartbeat. Don't be afraid of them since they're at the age now that any on the road have likely been fixed, or were not going to be a problem in the first place.
It's why I bought a Z4 when I really wanted a Boxster. Wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole, no matter how rare people claim the IMS implosions are. It's criminal that Porsche would allow a problem like that to fester for years instead of admitting the issue and resolving it immediately.
OMGWTFLOL Damn straight.
Double row IMS from the first (3) years 97, 98, 99 are better than the 2000+ they are "single" row IMS
Love the content car wizard. Can you do us a weekly tour of the cars you’re working on?
What about the TV show you filmed together with Hoovie, has it aired already?
Can you please get better close ups on some of your repairs? Thanks
🧐
Yes if he hasn’t got a second ‘B roll’ camera. He should pause bring the camera in tight and show all the fiddly stuff with the latches etc in a tight close up. Hard to see what he was doing. He should also have done another shot establishing exactly where in the engine bay he was before pointing the camera down a deep hole at something - context!
Miguel Rodriguez some one needs to invent a camera that he can hold in his mouth...wait...then how will he hold his flashlight?
@@marcocerqueira2732 😂😂
This is THE BEST Bad acting I’ve ever seen this year!
It's interesting that with all the IMS bearing hysteria, the Wizard only mentions a few common problems that seem fairly cheap and easy to fix. Wizard, what is your view based on actual experience of the Porsche IMS bearing failure problem on M96 and M97 engines?
Funny enough my brother has fleet including a nut and bolt restored 57 Chevy Bellaire daddy found him timing light vacuum Guage etc. All in set up nice wood presentation box. He loved it! It is set up like machinist box.
Watched a bunch of Wizard videos, never seen a water cooled Porsche and here are 3!
I have had mine now for 21 years. The coolant reservoir is absolutely a thing. Same with Air/oil separator. But equally important is the water pump. On also needs to clean the radiators and a/c condensers. Easy, but time consuming.
You are a better mechanic than an actor! I still enjoy your videos.
The 944 has been the easiest engine I have worked on. I was very intimidated being a “Porsche”, but I mustard the courage and the head job was easy peasy.
Once you mustard the courage you ketchup the job.
Very clever tying the old and the new cable together!
Hey, it's good to see that the lead singer/harmonica player from Blues Traveler is still making a good living.
I get white smoke sometimes…I’m told it’s not a crankcase vent it’s the AOS - air oil separator.
The 928 porsche......greatest car shape ever penned.
Unfortunately insanely expensive to own. The performance is also lacking.
I love these old style videos.
A+ acting. You're gonna put Holywood out of business.. xD
Actually, the coronavirus is putting Hollywood out of business. Movie theaters won’t survive because of social distancing requirements. The movies will go straight to rent or purchase on the Internet. Profits will be way down.
A hooter, how cute. I think it´s based on the development of the Stuka-sirens in WW2. Even Porsche is cooking with water.
Happy to see you work on many Porsche cars, maybe do a top 5 with the 944?
Don't forget the convertible top lower rods the plastic ends break off. In your video that black boxster has the isseu where you can tighten up the top liner tension strap to make the top stay inside the brace when you put it up. Last but not least the IMS bearing that needs to be replaced I can't count how many I've done and engines I've replaced bc they fail. CV boots also almost forgot those they are very common also. Not bad cars tho. I always replaced the tubes and seals when I did spark plugs its worth the time. Cracked coil packs are getting common now also.
yup, my crankcase vent valve went bad on my old 2002 porsche boxster
I got a 1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow not too long ago that needs to be restored. I thought since you have one that looks very similar next to the viper you could tell me, how do you open the hood? I tried but I couldn’t figure it out.
It's called an AOS ( air oil separator). The ims bearing are maintenance part and failure can cost a new engine. Rear main seal, cracked coils, and a bad oil pressure sensor are common problems on Boxters and 996s-997s
Dave! Instead of putting the flashlight in your mouth to free both hands, get a headband-mounted LED beam light! You’re good to go then!
Just like Madonna, you're getting "into the Groove"!
TIP #1
If you zoom in on the part you are talking about then people can see what you are doing rather than guessing. Great video though. Will be very handy for a sight impaired person who wants to repair their boxster ;)
Need you to go deep like this for the 928
Wow. I JUST bought a 2000 Boxter. This is soo specific. How does TH-cam even KNoW??
Wiz - you are the best! Love the info and vids. Can't wait for my 1998 Box to have the issues you showed. Have not had these yet but you are right, you could do a 4 hour video on the issues these things have (horn frame failure, turn signal, braking, ignition switch failure, window won't drop when you open or close the door, plastic thingys breaking on convertible top, radio draining the battery) However I still love my little paycheck eater!
"paycheck eater" 😂 i am original owner of 2001 box and fully understand. But it is a joy to ride and will never sell it
great vid, looking to buy one of these
need to do the elastic fix to make the convertible roof close properly and not having the back sides hanging out of the window plastic trim..
I want a boxster around that age. Thanks for doing the video. I will have some idea what I am getting myself into.
Dave - any time you want to sort out a moderately low mile 911, I'll take it off your hands.
Looks like the convertible top side cable is not seating correctly leaving it hanging out side of the frame when up. Also a common problem. It needs a new elastic strap to keep it inside the frame. Easy fix also.
You and Hoovie share a ‘southern drawl’ but otherwise are the antidote to each other like he’s on Amphetimines and you’re on Diazapam!😂😂👍
Br from Frankfurt / Germany . I like your vids. The size of your shop floor is amazing. Markus
Great video mr wizard....as always very informative....as well as a humorous twist....a+ all around
Man,I really wish I could get a martini as dry as his personality is!!....lol!!
This is ambitious and funny.
Good job sir. You know your stuff. Do it right the 1st time to avoid further problems later. Peace!
Its funny I'm 17 and never driven a car and I love watching Hoovie and the Wizard.
Boxster swirl marks up the ying yang, need a good compound and polish.
Great video Wizard
Do a polish on that black Boxster, that would make a great video. Of course that thing is so bad you could make A LOT of videos. Also that brown 928 is totally dope, one of my favorite Porsches.
Always look forward to a Wizard video ... a great counterbalance to Hoovie's insanity ... A++
Love your educational videos
There can be a problem with the intermediate shaft bearing in the engines on some of these and when it fails, the engine is ruined. It should be replaced before it fails.
Why did you remove the Top common problems for the LS1 5.3 vortec engine video ? I really needed it. Can you at least list the top common issues please ?
TIL the most common problem with a 944/928 is pickers trying to sell you stuff.
Man, that Boxter's body is rough!
Now I need to buy a 2000 Porsche Boxster to solve the problems.
Completely ignored the elephant in the room when it comes to any watercooled engine boxster/cayman/911 non turbo or GT3 pre 2009...the IMS bearing. Very good vid though
God bless this man 6:28
Awesome work Wizard!!!
know I'm late, but the top on at least the driver's side needs to be "re-trained" to get guided under the plastic trim, his is over top of that trim
I've also used elastic fasteners to help guide it on older convertibles
Hi, I have problems with the brake lights on a 2006 Porsche Boxster. The pedal switch is in good condition, the fuse and relay are new, but the lights do not turn on at times, or they do not turn on at all. Do you know what else could be causing the problem? Thanks.
Awesome video thank you Wizard!👍🏻
How do you close the convertible top manually ? Any tricks ? Thank you.
I think I need to film a ride out to Kansas.
Man, someone needs to detail that black Boxster S!!!
Please please please do common issues with northstar engines in 90s Cadillac's
