I hadn't heard of closed loop coolant systems "venting". All previous german cars I've owned that lost coolant was due to an issue with the water pump or some other leak in the coolant system.
Is this a new feature?

Hey Bro,
Mine was doing the same thing. The other day I took the glove box off, and you are able to access the blower fan pretty easily (it is encased). You are able to take the motor right out of the casing. On mine I greased the bearing on the bottom of the motor (which was filled with dirt and grime also) and blew all the crap out with an air compressor. Has been working flawlessly now, I think it just got a little dry, and after a few minutes it would seize.
Hope that helps, it is a pretty easy DIY job if that is what it is.

Hey Bro,
Thanks for the tip! I know this is a (really) old post - but it's still relevant! My 2005 Cayenne had the same issue where it would seem to get bogged down and make a light humming noise while the air coming out of the vents would be reduced or non-existent.
To clean I used brake cleaner to clear all the "gunk" and followed it by spraying ample silicon spray.
An interesting side note - after cleaning the fan I noticed it didn't move any easier by hand but it made a complete difference once re-installed.
No more bogged down, not more humming noise, plenty of air.
To think I almost spent $800 on a new blower fan and the often recommended regulator - neither of which were bad in the slightest (in my case...). Just a dirty blower fan in need of a cleaning.
Heads up display memory

Anyone have a 9YA Cayenne with the heads up display? Anyone have an issue with it remembering your settings? I constantly have to press one of the door seat memory buttons to get my heads up display settings to apply after it randomly forgets. (e.g. when turning off the vehicle, leaving the vehicle and then coming back later to drive the vehicle).
