Okay all....I hope people out there are learning from my trial and errors! :eek:

Turns out that I had not taken out the optical protective cover on the harness wires! Oh well. Live and learn.

Hi, old post but did you to route any wire from the back of the car up to the radio in the dash?  Also, I take it that the XM retrofit was a relatively plug and play experience for you and everything is working?

Clarksongli, I am pretty impressed that you were able to figure out how to remove the turbo without dropping the engine. Kudos to that.  What was going on with your turbo that prompted you to undertake the removal?

Now if SpawnyWhippet can get a DIY together.

I don't think the waterpump's impeller actually split off from the shaft, but rather the composite material of the impeller wears down overtime, thus reducing the flow of coolant moving through the system.  Typically a tell tale sign of this is coolant temperature pegging past middle of gauge. (could also mean thermostat is stuck closed)

The next time you have your belt off, spin the idlers and feel for smoothness.  If you have what feels like sand in the bearing, then it's time to replace them.  All pulleys should spin with buttery smoothness and be silent as a whisper.

The belt tensioner spring/hydraulic itself don't really fail.  It is the pulley attached to the tensioner that wears down.  If you see the grooves from the ribbed belt engraved onto the pulley, then it's time to change.

Yikes, hope it's just a cracked ducting.  I can't imagine how the turbo would crack, and would probably be the 1st time I heard about this on a Cayenne if it was the case.  But with today's Cayenne's racking up mileage, I guess anything is possible.

Typically, new expansion tank will come with a new radiator cap.  If you plan to keep the car for a little longer, I would consider changing the expansion tank and thermostat.

I may looking into a starter rebuild if you are having starting issues.  Might not be necessary to do anything with starter if you have no problems with it, and since you are well-versed in removing the intake manifold in 1 hr, then it shouldn't be an issue when it needs maintenance.

I would probably change the coolant vent pipes (948 106 026 04) since you are already in the area.

When I did both of my tees, any hoses and clamps that I removed, I replaced with new ones.  It will get expensive, but it gave me a little more peace of mind that it'll go another 100K. You may not need to do that.  I have heard the spring clamp losing tension overtime, thus springing a leak, though not very common.

If you're feeling playful, I would probably do the waterpump too, and since you will have the belt removed, I would replace all the idle pulleys, serpentine belt, and maybe your serpentine belt tensioner.

Are these steps applicable to the turbo?

why did your air injection impeller break apart? Was it due to the deteriorating foam filter in the air injector?

I had totally the same problem.

So I changed all 8 coils and plugs, MAF sensors, pre-cat O2 sensors,booth fuel pumps, I also cleaned and reset throttle body, and did smoke vacuum leak test, but there was no leaks. All that and Idle drop and rough idle was still there. However, in the end I changed hydraulic engine mounts, and believe it or not, all roughness is gone, and cars is super smooth again. It's PITA job to change it but it's doable and worth every penny. 

gbratk, can you hit the highlights on the procedure you went through to DIY your motor mounts?  What did you have to remove? Any tips?

Thanks

Curious myself--can you remove the turbocharger without dropping the engine?

Is this a tell-tale sign of anything?  When I insert a cd into the dash of my 05 CTT, the PCM acts as if there is no CD in the unit.  I can't even eject the CD unless I do a car restart and hit eject before the PCM loads.  Anyone had this problem? Maybe it needs lens cleaning? CD changer and everything else on PCM works fine.

Climate control is turned off before shutting the car off, but every time I restart the car after work, it turns back on automatically.  I observed this after the car has been off for several hours. The interesting part is that if I turn off the climate control and turn the car off for a brief period of time (less than 10 minute), say for example, for filling gas or running into convenience store, the climate control stays off when restarting the car.  Is there a way to permanently keep the climate control off instead of always having to manually turn it off after startup?

Thanks for checking. I have that clip too, but it does not work.  I'll just fabricate something to get the cover to hold.

not 13.

I am trying to attach 11 to 15.  Appears there needs to be a special clip of some sort.

 

oh one more thing, do you have the part # for the clip that is needed for 955 551 357 00 9B9 Cover,carpet front -- US MSRP $6.91?

thanks

I already have this fastening part.  I just need the clips that attaches the cover to the fastening part.  Is there another clip you can think of that might be applicable here?  I ordered 95555527900, but that clip was too loose and did not properly attach to the cover.

as show in this picture, yellow arrows:

Thankyou and I will consider donating.

Awesome, THANKYOU!

2005 Cayenne Turbo, black interior

Thankyou

It looks like these grommets are what I need for the trim to "snap" into place.  Right now, the body of the car does not have the grommets. The diamond shaped hole where #3 would normally snap in is currently too big.

Thanks
