  1. Ooops it looks like Loren posted the wrong picture. That is a picture of the condenser. The desiccator basically acts as the drier for the refrigerant.

    Anyhow replacing the evaporator is is a serious beast of a job. Probably the worst thing I've ever had to do on a Cayenne. The evaporator is sandwiched inside the heating and air conditioning unit behind the dashboard on the passenger side. If you want to see the innards of a Cayenne, replace the evaporator. Thankfully they very rarely fail. You may want to consider replacing the Orings on both sides of the expansion valve as I've seen a leaking o ring there that looked a lot like a bad evaporator. See how it goes from there, it could save you a SERIOUS headache.

    Hi if you can could you tell me location of th expansion valve. I did find some oil residue in the smaller pipe that goes in the firewall i was able to give half a turn to the bolt. I pull vacum to 29 in 10 minutes and it held. I will check the o rings you suggested as soon as i could find the valve. Thanks a bunch.

  2. Sorry, if you can't see anything obvious it could be a time cracked hose somewhere and only a PIWIS will help diagnose where.

    Thanks a friend suggested the oil separator do you know a quick test. He suggested taking the oil cap and checking for suction I did and it suck my palm very strong like a vacum cleaner

    This is a Cayenne not a 9x6 series car.

    this a cayenne s if you look a v8 turbo diagram for 2007 the parts shows in the diagram as oil separator

  3. P1182 Positive Crankcase Ventilation Output Stage – Open Circuit

    Possible causes:

    - Fuse F50 faulty (fuse carrier, dashboard, on the left)

    - Break in wiring in voltage supply of positive crankcase ventilation heater

    - Break in wiring in connection to ground of positive crankcase ventilation heater

    - Positive crankcase ventilation heater faulty (heating resistance too high)

    - DME control module faulty

    P0507 Idle Air Control at Stop - Above Limit

    Possible causes:

    - Leaks in intake air system

    - Leaks in crankcase ventilation

    - Throttle adjusting unit faulty

    P0021 Adjustment of Inlet Camshaft in relation to Crankshaft, Bank 2 – Signal Implausible

    Possible causes:

    - Dirt in oil circuit

    - Sealing strips on inlet camshaft adjuster faulty

    - Oil pressure too low

    - Mechanical fault in inlet camshaft adjuster

    - Magnetic hydraulic valve fault

    P2187 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 (RKAT1) - Above Limit

    Possible causes:

    - Incorrect main charge signal

    - Intake air system leaking

    - Fuel pressure too low

    - Volume supply of fuel pump too low

    - Mechanical fault in injection valves

    - PCV valve leaks

    - Cap of oil filler neck leaking

    - Leaks in exhaust system

    - EVAP canister purge valve mechanically faulty (hangs open)

    - EVAP canister purge valve output stage faults

    P2189 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 2 (RKAT2) - Above Limit

    Possible causes:

    - Incorrect main charge signal

    - Intake air system leaking

    - Fuel pressure too low

    - Volume supply of fuel pump too low

    - Mechanical fault in injection valves

    - PCV valve leaks

    - Cap of oil filler neck leaking

    - Leaks in exhaust system

    - EVAP canister purge valve mechanically faulty (hangs open)

    - EVAP canister purge valve output stage faults

    The pattern here still says PVC or other air leaks.

    Look for cracked, broken, or split tubing and hoses.

    If you can not find anything you will likely need a PIWIS tester to track down the exact cause.

    Hi Loren i check the fuses and also for broken hoses nothing could the oil separator be the problem does the v8 ave a aos do you know the location you are correct the first code will set of the others

  4. 2004 s 4.5 v8 61000 miles

    Ignore the diagram above then - it was for a V6 Cayenne.

    That part is still the crankcase bleeding but I am not finding it in the parts system.

    Perhaps you should email or call the folks at Sunset Imports.

    Hi Loren question can that part be cover under emission warranty?

    Maybe, you need to ask your dealer/OPC.

    Hi Loren now i am getting codes 1182,0507,0021,2187,2189 can you guide me on what to check the first one pcv do you know the location?

  5. Here are some nice all around tires

    Nitto ???? Grappler? What size?

    285/60/18 they fit just right no abnormal noises nice ride a huge improvement the junk continental $800.00 discount tires

    You apparently didn't see the questions marks? ???

    Yes, these are the nitto "dune grappler" and are not the best all around tire at all (no offense). they are great on sand but not so great in mud or in rain and would be horrible in snow with the strange blocks and zero siping - when compared to either the nitto terra grappler or the bfg at ko, both of which look better and are more appropriate on the cayenne. the terra will be wider and therefor probably look the best and have a wider contact patch. you can't beat the durability and overall goodness in the bfg though. I have used all of them.

    Here in florida we have mostly sand very little mud no complaints in the rain so far next time i will give the terra a chance

  6. It depends on the type of failure. There is a control module located in each fan assembly and the DME sends info to the control for variable speeds. The coolant temp sensor can cause problems and has been updated to a new part number. What is happening to your fans??

    Runs hot standing still the fans dont seen to run on high speeds as soon as the truck moves temp goes down with the ac on the turn slow no codes so far
