Unseen Porsche BARGAIN? & PDK gearbox PROBLEMS - Weekly Workshop #6

📍 This week at Porsche Mode:
We’re taking you behind the scenes of a massive week in the workshop — packed with gearbox stripdowns, suspension repairs, Boxster bargains, and big unit updates!

🚘 In the Workshop This Week:

► 986 Boxster Gearbox Repair
We strip down an automatic 986 Boxster to fix a gearbox fault. Full removal of the valve body, replacement of the loom and integrated temperature switch, fresh oil and gasket — then test drive to confirm the fix.

► 987 Boxsters x2 - Major Servicing
Two Porsche 987 Gen 2s in for full servicing, brake fluid change, health checks, and MOT prep. These long-term customers get the works.

► Cayenne GTS Relay Recovery + Repair
Sold this GTS a few months back — it was recovered from London with flashing dash lights and gearbox fault. Diagnosed, repaired, and back on the road in under 3 hours. That’s why you buy from specialists.

► 997.1 - MOT & Handbrake Fault
Early 997 in for MOT. We also track down a ticking noise — turns out to be an issue inside the rear handbrake drum.

► Macan Suspension Fault
Follow-up from last week's diagnostic: we replace the leaking £992 Porsche front airbag and test the new unit.

► Panamera Diesel - Broken Front Spring
Another suspension issue, another corner! We diagnose and prep to replace front springs and dampers.

► Panamera Turbo - PDK Fault Repaired
Main dealer quoted gearbox replacement — we fixed it properly, affordably, and fast. We also uncover missing trays and worn suspension components.

► 991 Turbo - Engine Out!
Sam’s 991 Gen 2 Turbo is getting a full engine drop to repair a fuel leak and smoky turbos. Full disassembly coming next week.

🧰 UNIT UPDATE
New ramps incoming, floor dug out, display cabinets, TV setup, and the Porsche kitchen is almost ready! We’re making the new space perfect before the move-in.

🛒 Boxster Bargain Buy!
We sent Henry & James to Cornwall to pick up a used 986 Boxster for under £5K — did they make a good call? Find out what they paid, what they missed, and what Martin thinks of the deal.
