Roadster Tech TV

My name is Gabe, I've been working in car dealerships as technician since 2008.

I'm a technical trainer now and my goal here is to just share some of the things I've learned working on cars over the last 15 years.

I started a family really young and I have three kids now, so being a parent and a husband takes up a big chunk of my time outside of work.

Cars have always been my passion, but I try to keep things fun and light. So sometimes I'll share different places and events we go to, or just random things goin on in my life.

I hope you can learn a few things here, maybe get a few laughs in, and are inspired to go after your own dreams cuz life is short.

✌🏼

    Can I add the knob to my Porsche that currently uses the key to start it

  • @roadstertech
    @roadstertech15 күн бұрын

    I'm gonna say probably not. Unless the car came with it and someone removed it. This was like a keyless ignition option that not all Porsches came with.

    Is it safe to keep riding as is? I just bought a Porsche macan 2015 and have this issue but def don’t have the thousands of dollars for the repair

  • @roadstertech
    @roadstertech2 ай бұрын

    Yes I would say it is safe to drive, however I would recommend checking and topping off oil often. Cost of repair may not be as expensive you think if taken to the right technician. It is really just two small aluminum bolts that need replacement and maybe 2-3 hours of labor

    @@roadstertech I called Porsche and they wanted to replace the bolts and seals and said it can cost up to $6k! They were trying to def scare me and get their sale in. They also said I have to get it done or else my car will break down and break power steering etc

    I would like to thank you too. I did the sequence to put my CX 5 in maintenance mode so I could change my rear rotors and as I was working on the first side I heard a bunch of chattering coming from the front. I don't know why or what it was but when I went to put it out of maintenance mode the car was completely dead! The only light in the dash was the airbag light. I checked and only had 3.6 volts in the battery and it would not take a charge. I let it set overnight with the battery unhooked and when I hooked up the battery it somehow returned to 12.6 volts. The car actually started, so I shut it off and followed your sequence and it worked! The only thing different was that I had to push the start button three times. Thank you so much for your help! You are a lifesaver!
