Default Preparing Porsche dealership video series

Hey guys, I'm preparing to make a video series for my dealership from a technicians perspective. I was just curious if there were any jobs or services that you guys would want to watch see how they're done. Any and all input is welcome. Here is a VERY basic example of what you can expect. https://gopro.com/v/7Ra569ODaBBN Here I'm calibrating the LCA on a 15' base Cayenne. In the official videos you can expect more detail and explanation.

Ryan - thanks. I do think just a bit of explanation of what the process is you're doing might be helpful. I assume the thing on the post is a target for the LCA system that is set at X, Y distance from the vehicle. Is there then an adjustment that can be made?

Jfort- this is definitely on the list. They are very common. Thank you for your input.
Deilenberger- the LCA is only typically calibrated after a repair to the system has been made or if the rear bumper is removed and reinstalled. I will do a more detailed video explaining the calibration process.

Thanks! Then how about interior panel removal and install. Door panels, dash panels, trim panels, dash pieces, etc.

And while it's all open, some basic wiring (PCM/radio) and HVAC stuff? Cleaning, common failures and fixes and the like?

Engine mounts on 955/957 CTTs. There are a gazillion of them that are overdue and soon to be due as they all squish down and cause the slow down shudder, rough idle, and odd shifting.

Great idea & thanks.

957
  • Bleeding of the PDCC system
  • DIY oil change on DFI motors
  • Renewing the drivetrain lubricants - transmission, differential, etc

I'd like to see some preventative maintenance on the air suspension, if there is such a thing.

I think that video should be shown first.

Great suggestions guys! Most likely all of these will be addressed and then some.
I'm still a full time technician and will be producing these videos on my own. I will do my best to educate/entertain you with a wide range of all things Porsche (PDIs, service, diagnosis, test drives, car wash proccess, detailing process, etc)
BTW the videos will be posted here so feel free to subscribe so you know when the first video drops. Video will start to flow in the coming weeks https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCnHcjkceGqA5BSllxha8m-A

I second this idea.
