Does anyone have a guide on how to remove the passenger side drawer in the footwell of the Cayenne?

Has anyone ever upgraded the glass on their Cayenne from the standard glass to double pane glass all around?

Is there a parts list for this or would I have to compile one?

This would be an 08-09 Cayenne rear seat. 

Anyone?

Does anyone know where I can get the black foam pictured below and what the part numbers are?

Thank you for your help!

I went ahead and bought the cushion on eBay that had the clips included!

Can you tell me exactly where that panel is on the car?
I thought it was a rear door/seat panel.

It's for this panel(s): 955-522-722-01

955 555 278 00 Clip  US MSRP $0.74 each

Are you sure?

These are a very thin width compared to the part number you linked. You'll notice one clip is in the slot in the original post if you need a reference for the size.

Thanks,

Does anyone know where I can find the clip below for purchase?

I was wondering if anyone knew the brand of teflon tape and felt backed tape that Porsche used in order to stop squeaks and rattles?

Thanks!

I can't tell the size from the pictures but I wonder if these are orings from a compression/leakdown tester that fell off when removing the tool...

I can take a picture of calipers measuring the oring size if that's helpful?

Oh wow- recently while I was doing plugs and coils, after pulling out 5-8 I noticed something extremely similar sitting on top of the engine near one of the plug/coil openings. Didn't see it when I pulled the cover off, didn't notice it fall out but noticed it after I'd pulled all the coils + plugs on that side and was about to put in the new ones. Mine was more a light beige color whereas yours looks to me more greenish? Also, mine looked more deteriorated. Wish I'd kept it or taken a pic.

Interesting, I haven't checked my plugs for oil yet (I know kind of stupid) but I have run the car a couple hundred miles since I completed the job and I cannot tell or smell anything abnormal happening... yet...

Unless you have oil on the plugs, the seals should be fine.

Gotcha, which I will check when I have the time. 🙂 

Loren what part replaced the green oil tube seals? If I am going through the effort of checking the plugs again I should probably have the part that replaces those seals and new spark plugs in the event of the current ones having oil on them.

The green seals are just a different year part - still oil tube seals. They do not belong on the spark plugs.

Thank you so much Loren!

So these oil tube seals are fine not being replaced?

I have driven the car 100 miles since the spark plug and ignition coil change; from what I can tell there is no smell or smoke coming from the exhaust and the car drives fine.

Loren, would you happen to know what these green seals could be?

I don't have a step by step, Loren may, but you can probably find one online.  And changing them out requires removing the valve cover, which entails removing the air boxes, the air pumps, the torque arm, and a whole lot of other stuff as well.  Definitely not a fun job.

 

 

The more I look at your picture of the seal above, the more I am inclined to say it is a tube seal for one of Porsche's flat six engines, like the 996.  The Cayenne tube seals are a bit more flat looking, and if one or more were missing, the plug tubes would be full of oil, which you have not mentioned:

 

I'm now wondering if someone mistakenly put the flat six seals on the plugs that are in the car for some unknown reason.

I am in possession of a new set of spark plug gaskets and they are too big to be the small green seal.

This is a picture of a 996 plug tube seal:

 

I was looking at this seal before and don’t think it’s the same because of how thin the light green one is. 
 

If oil was getting on the spark plugs wouldn’t there be white smoke and a metallic smell from the exhaust?

The plug has nothing to do with that seal, it should go under the plug tube itself, not the plug.  We get them from a dealer.

Several questions:

Are there pictures illustrating where this part goes?

Would you happen to have the part number?

Is it okay to run the car without a couple of them until I can get the part?

Is there a how-to on how to replace these seals?

I can't imagine how I could get this seal back in the spark plug tube and have the seal seat itself flush when applying torque to the spark plug. The car has been running fine without two of these seals, if I need to replace them would you happen to know where I could purchase them and if there is a how-to?

Thanks Loren! I am not challenging whether you are right I just don't know what this is (see attached) meant for? I have looked at schematics and couldn't find anything unless I overlooked it. Any help is appreciated.

The ring in the picture came out of the spark plug hole when I was removing the spark plug. I have a low milage Cayenne S and I believe these were the original spark plugs from the factory that I replaced. 

Actually after looking at the seal it is too big to be the above picture. Any help would be appreciated with this. Thanks!

I could be wrong but upon further investigation it looks like the original plugs had some sort of seal on them (I have a low milage Cayenne S)? See attached picture.

Thanks everyone for the help. I will eventually be posting pictures of torques specs for the bolts in question. (see above post from me)

So I performed a spark plug and ignition coil change and on two of the plugs a deteriorated light green o-ring or seal came out of the area where the spark plug seats itself on the cylinder head. I could not find any mention of this anywhere on the Internet. The car has been run 50+ miles since the change and everything seems to be working fine but if spark plug seals are meant to be replaced then I will buy them. Please advise.

The correct torque specs for the toque arm mount are:

E12 = 23nm

E10 = 10nm

Anyone have any info on my question?

Thank you anyways :)
