엔진과열!오버히트! 그 후 최악의 상황 / 포르쉐 파나메라

Summary

A mechanic inspects a Porsche with an overheating issue. He finds the cylinder head gasket is blown, causing it to warp. After disassembling the engine, he discovers the thermostat doesn't fit properly. The faulty water pump housing likely caused a leak, low coolant, then overheating. He replaces the housing and thermostat, test drives it, and confirms it's fixed. He decides the car can now be released to the customer, bringing the repair job to a successful conclusion.

Takeaways

• 😀 An employee is asked to perform the opening but feels shy about it.
• 🚗 The focus of the video is on repairing a Porsche Panamera with a cooling system issue, where coolant leakage led to engine overheating.
• 🔧 The engine had to be removed to disassemble the head for inspection, indicating a not overly complex task since it's not a turbo model.
• ⚙️ Additional tasks include replacing the engine mount, which has significantly lowered due to wear, and repairing the cylinder head.
• 🛠️ The suspicion of a blown head gasket due to overheating is confirmed, requiring further examination and repair.
• 💦 Coolant issues were not addressed initially, leading to a discovery of excessive coolant residue around the intake manifold.
• 🔍 Misalignment and warping of the head surface are identified, requiring resurfacing to ensure evenness and proper seal.
• 🌡️ Overheating was exacerbated by a non-fitting thermostat and water pump housing, leading to coolant loss and engine damage.
• 🛑 A comprehensive repair approach includes replacing the housing and thermostat, successfully resolving the overheating issue.
• 🎉 The vehicle is fully repaired, with all issues addressed, ensuring it operates without overheating, ready for release.
