Replaced my window regulator.

If you hear something funny in your door and your window is halfway up, this is the problem.

 

Installed my new steering wheel 955 turbo

 

Replaced the squeaky HVAC blower motor. Easy job, unlike the one on my 997 I did a few weeks ago.

Everything is done from under the dash - do not use the YouTube video that removes the glovebox as that's completely unnecessary and risks breaking the trim.

Remove the One Torx screw, pop off the lower plastic panel by pulling.down on the front edge, disconnect the plugs from the light and 2 power outlets, pop off the plastic air vent, unplug the blower motor power connection, remove 7 hex head screws (oddly these are US size and not metric), and the blower motor drops right down. Reinstallation is the reverse. 30-45 minute job.

 

Decided to polish up the headlights. So much better now…hated the dingy yellow lights.


Before. Some condensation in there. Rinsed it out with some isopropyl alcohol and sealed it up


Much better

 

Plugs, coils, and air filters. Really a pleasure to work on compared to other vehicles we have owned.

 

957 S. Replaced rear diff fluid. Replaced air filters and spark plugs. Previous owner has installed £20 Denso Iridium plugs and I was replacing them with £4 Bosch ones, so felt a bit guilty but they were over 40k old, so still worth changing.

The little hose outlet on the RH air filter box had been snapped off and glued back on - badly. So had to epoxy it back on. Annoying as it was almost certainly done during an OPC Service.

No dramas though with anything being stuck or getting broken. Very easy to work on as said previously.

Next week will be front diff and transfer case fluid change, plus engine oil and filter, when the weather allows. Also orders a new torque arm bushing from Powerflex as mine was predictably shot.

 

I hate tailgaters. I rigged up an aftermarket windshield spray nozzle and pump etc. to the wing and aimed it rearward. Button is on the back of the cruise control stalk, next to the radar mute button.


Officer, I just cleaned my windshield. If he was so close it got him too, then maybe he was too close?

Back off!

 

New headlights are in

 

How are they? Driven at night yet? Any codes?

May want to clear bra them to help protect from road debris pits and the extra UV protection keeps them from oxidizing.

 

Love the blacked out ones. I have them too.

 

We explored the off road capabilities yesterday in our Cayenne. Amazing how easily they handle the terrain.

No issues with any of the off road functions and they all performed perfectly. Ours is the white one.

 

 

Replaced the heater blower motor. I took it out and it was gross. Cleaned it and lubed it and ran it but it was too far gone so got a replacement.

 

That motor looks nearly the same as what was used in the 964! Here’s a pic of the 964 blower motor.

 

Did the same thing a couple weeks ago in both the Cayenne and one of the 997s. The Cayenne was so much easier.
