I knew my Porsche 911 repair bill wasn’t going to be pretty, but it was only after I got my 993 back that I was able to decide whether or not it was worth the cost.
In this Porsche 911 repair bill video, I share with you the following information about the repairs I had done to my Porsche 993, including:
– Exactly how much I paid for an “engine out service” on my Porsche 911 993 Carrera Coupe
– Exactly what was included that made this Porsche 911 repair bill what it was
– Strategies for dealing with an engine out repair and how you should decide what to do while the engine is out…including how much it will drive your Porsche 911 repair bill up
– How much a Porsche 911 repair bill should be just to have the engine dropped
– A link to a video I did covering my air cooled mechanic talking about the engine while it was out of the car
– Whether or not I would recommend putting this much money into a Porsche 911 repair
– What the clutch feels like since I’ve had it replaced
– Whether or not you should put a 3 spoke 996 steering wheel in your Porsche 993
– Whether the Rennline magnetic cell phone holder is worth the money

About My Channel:
Rennthusiast (formerly Bavarian Enthusiast TV) is for the most part a Porsche 911 channel centering on experiencing air cooled Porsches, but will also feature other vintage, analog vehicles I add to the collection. The channel is the result of my deep passion for air cooled Porsches, my interest in the air cooled Porsche community, my obsession with modding, improving, buying and selling cars in general and my desire to put myself out there on YouTube and share these passions with other enthusiasts.
As I continue to build this channel, I’ll be adding more cars to the mix, and will likely branch out beyond the German sports car genre as is the case with this video. Why? Because I LOVE cool collector cars and as my interests morph and change, so will this channel.
As of the date of this video, the collection includes a 1995 Porsche 911 993 Coupe, a 1986 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Coupe, a 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo, a 2000 Toyota Landcruiser and….a 1993 Toyota Landcruiser FZJ80 (no they’re not German but they’ve been bucket list vehicles for me so they’re now in the collection).

Was thinking $10K, that’s not bad at all
If you still have the car two years later, then your appreciation has likely far eclipsed your repair bill (which really wasn't all that terrible).
$5,700 is nothing.
Of course it was worth it , it’s only money after all .
Hi Will–thanks for sharing your noob 993 ownership experience. I've been where you are–and I think $5700 for all that you had done is fair if not downright a bargain. Your tech, Charles, is not getting rich doing what he does–so thank him from the bottom of your heart! I've had my '95 993 for over 9 years–and believe me it does get better once you sort it all out. I had RennLine aluminum valve covers, and the engine resealed while I had a clutch job, along with a WaveTrac "LSD" installed. I placed quotes around LSD since the WaveTrac diff doesn't have a clutch pack for it to work like Guard Transmission's LSDs have. I replaced the stock rubber engine mounts with Carrera RS engine mounts and an RS flywheel to replace the heavy stock flywheel. The grand total of my bill was more than twice yours–so be glad! Enjoy your 993–as the ownership experience is absolutely worth it! Best regards, –"Bren10" (yeah–that was the name of the first 10-mm auto-loading pistol released in the mid-80s–the same pistol Sonny Crocket carried on Miami Vice haha)
Subscribed to this channel! My dude, your editing is awesome and content is great! I am a BMW guy, have been for a few years and have only recently started looking at the Porsche 911.
Ha! This is why I do 90% of the maintenance myself.
Wait until you have to change the two ballast resistors on either side of the front fenders, HVAC and oil cooler.
BTW, if it's a true 1995 (pre obdii) a rusted, crappy SAI valve will NOT trigger a CEL.
My 993 is a 1996 and I change that little bugger every 30,000 miles.
Tip from me: coat every rubber gasket, or o-ring, with Moly 111, e.g. during oil/filter changes, valve cover gaskets, etc.
Also, once a week, peruse fleabay for parts that have come off old stock or old 993's. For instance relays are very expensive!
And stop pressing the trip-button below the odometer. There's a tiny planetary gear in the speedo that will ruin your day.
It costed me $4000 just to change alternator to Boxter back in 2009 kist before I sold it with $16k
Not bad. Those repairs were worthy. I would have done it for sure.
definitely worth every penny, bargain.
Charles is a bargain. I owned a 993 RS (yep the real thing). No AC or radio, rear seats deleted etc. I bought a full set of maintenance manuals and did my own maintenance; worth every penny. The car was fabulous on the road but a real handful in heAvy traffic. Sell your wheel and replace with Light Weight Flywhheel and proper racing clutch. LSD 80% also worthy. Send your ÉCU to Manthey Racing. My car made 330 at the clutch. Italian cars with 400 HP always behind :-). German horses are obviously bigger…
Do you have to disconnect the AC as part of engine out service
Porsche 95???
Hey. Cool 993. Where did u get neon Porsche sign?
Yeah I had several used Porsche..It’s never seem to end with upgrades or service maintenance lol
