Porsche 997 Carrera 2: How To Fix The Engine! | Wheeler Dealers

Porche should warranty there bad design.

Edd china te echamos de menos, el tiempo del programa ya no se usa en reparaciones sino en hablar del coche. Una lástima que Edd dejara el programa, pero si este era el futuro del mismo, creo que entonces acertó

What have Porsche had to say about the bore score issue? Are they not embarrassed that their reputation will take a hit? Why couldn't these cars have had the higher quality cylinder liners from the outset? I've had issues with BMW bikes and the company attitude is to ignore you until you go away. Is that the Porsche philosophy too?

IMS solutuioon?

lmao they basically helicoil'd the block

Just curious, is it possible to increase the engine capacity when getting this job done, it might be worth your while, especially when you have the engine stripped down, maybe a 4 litre conversion would be nice.

They did all that work and sold the car for £26k. Sadly the car didnt last more than a year or two after this. MOT expired way back in 2015 so it is much like all the other cars done on this show. Most last a year then fail their MOTs with most not being touched again.

997 are glorious..the best ever.

mercedes - bmw - porsche - and audi = all have big engine problems ! = so much cost for german junk = nice to drive - nice to look at = A DEMON TO OWN ! = big bank account !

Doesn't show liner install at all. Wank

Did you replace the pistons?

great video but it's the complete antithesis of what Wheeler Dealers is about. Who in the real world is going to take a gamble on a 15 grand car and has access to the facilities required to fix said car? Back in the day it was centred around the hobbyist buying cars for modest prices and doing jobs that could be done at home. Now, they have the resouces a F1 team would have as well as the budget and mechanics.

I fell in love with the result look and sound of this beauty! nice going Mike and Elvis, it looks stunning.

Porsche should live up to the expensive price tag.
This is precisely why I would stay away from the brand ticking time bomb

Great to see some actual engineering and machining. But omg those wheels are terrible

Awesome - lets see the full episode ;-)

Wait til the day he learns what a real "tiny" camera looks like. Fits on the head of a pin. They love making things fit on the head of a pin.

Not sure why the best case it’s only 1 cylinder when your going to have them all done

👌👏👏👍

Sorry but i love the work done to the engine and it looks superb 👍

Is that a Lambretta Vega in the background?

How to ruin a nice looking car.

Porsche not Porsch, Elvi should know better. 🤔

15 second, unskippable midroll ad for a swiffer just as the machining starts? No tah.

I hope your engine turned out okay.

Unless I missed something, you didn't show the insertion of the new cylinder liners -- really the most sensitive part of the operation.

I just love how Elvis gets really hands on with the machining and fabrication with all of the recent Wheeler Dealers. Got a professional Mat Armstrong vibe to it, whilst still being highly personable.

Elvis!? Who the fuck is Elvis? Ant didnt last long.

Also. This isnt wheeler dealers any more. They have way too much money.

What I fined messed up about mike, Great guy, But why is he selling a Car, for a couple of thousand dollars, Most of the time ,I mean I know he wants to sell the Car But stop giving them away, Its just plain stupid. Like the Volvo, Redid the interior all new suspension, And sells it foe a lousy 1500 dollars over what he did , Just plain stupid,Car was rust free, That car should have sold for 15,000, with out trying.He,s just Giving them away. He should be making 5000 dollar profit on every car they redo.

Elvis, How much are they Charging you to Bore a Hole, in your Country, In the Us, Its about 30 a hole, So new set of pistons, bearings and and bore, How bad can it be, 1000 bucks, Search for a set of 30 over pistons.unless your Being ripped off because they think your Loaded.and you Probably,are, LOL

Save yourself the headache and just dnt buy a Porsche lol

Missing the best part with the new cyls

So far what i heard is that porsche instead of using Nikasil coating like other brands, they decided to do their own proprietary coating and this is the result. Its crap.

Met Elvis lovely bloke 😊

Porsche used crap Lokasil and Alusil on their cylinders for all the non-turbo/GT3 996 and 997’s, but used the same across the whole 991 range.
4% ? Yeh right…
My 2006 is getting rebuilt right now and I’m dead certain my 2018 will need is at some point too.

How to lie how much parts cost

Good for another thousands and thousands of miles you say?

Bore score and seven years ago.

It's not that easy and using anything but iron casing is recipee for it happening again! The reason being is that cylinder is flimsy on the ends and becomes egg shaped over time and it is flimsy because it is BORED out Boxster 2.5 block :D and the walls are thin as hell, you need to make it stiffer! TLDR it will score again ;)

Being a German I can give you some advice on how to pronounce the name of the wheels: its name is Fuchs, which in German isn't pronounced like "fouche", but like "fooks" (like it would be in "books"). 😉

Amazing how poorly engineered Porsche cars are, but they still maintain their reputation.

Guys that looks mint!

What WD has become - even less mechanical detail than Car SOS and now a, less than charismatic mechanic alongside the "wee barrel". Thats me being polite. Dire guys, just dire.

Yees, thats pour vw qualety for you 😂😂😂😂
They look good, but for the love of god, stay away from everything vw related. Its all crapp.

was a badly enineered engine to start with, let's be honest....

Lovely ! Gorgeous wheels & livery! missed the interiors though..

Mike brewer doesn't arth get through mechanical work show partners ????

Wheeler dealer play found you guys again. Love you guys. Glad to have you back.

You are right on all counts all your points are correct

Miss Edd China. Mike is a wee bit heavier now. Have not seen him in years.
