I don't see this on the diagram. On this video, he had a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. They had plastic base covers. The problem I have: the passenger arm hole that connects to the wiper motor stud goes below the hex hence the cone shape washer does not seat into the wiper arm. I am thinking these black covers act like stops preventing the arm from going too far down. Again, I purchased this from the original owner who had a hack mechanic.

I recently removed the passenger wiper arm on a 2006 Porsche Cayenne Base model. The mechanic before jimmy rigged the set-up to make it work. I was watching DYI Dan on YouTube. He has a turbo. I noticed that underneath the passenger wiper arm (the one that goes on the motor) there is a plastic insert that tucks under the cavity of the arm. I do not have that, Basically, my wiper arm goes too far below the motorized study which is hex shaped and the cone shaped washer comes loose from the passenger wiper arm. Dumb question: is there an insert that goes underneath the passenger wiper arm (the one that attaches to the motor) to keep it from sliding too far down the stud? If so, can someone provide me the part number. Thanks in advance

I recently replaced the rear cardan shaft on a 2006 Porsche Cayenne base model using this post. I was planning on selling the truck so I bought a Vevor drive shaft (pretty cheap for about $165 with the disk). The problem I am having is that I am getting an intermittent whistling noise that starts at 25 mph. It comes and goes as I accelerate. I must have gone underneath a couple of times to make sure the center bearing was aligned. Still the same issue. I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same. I typically don't buy after-market replacements because I have been burned in the past. Also, has the rebuilt rear can shaft from Coloradodriveshaft held up? I was considering purchasing Porsche Cardan Shaft (Driveshaft) Transfer Case to Differential GKN Loebro GKNP20080 This costs $685. Any thought or suggestions would help?

UPDATE: After 3,000 miles the issue went away. I switched from 5W30 to 0W40. Hopefully, the data and results can help someone else! Thank to all!
-
Here are my results with 0W40. I am hoping the light does not come back onAt idle (35C) started at 4.3 bars 1. At idle (41C) started at 4.0 bars 2. At idle (46C) started at 3.5 bars 3. At idle (52C) started at 3.0 bars 4. At idle (59C) started at 2.5 bars 5. At idle (68C) started at 2.0 bars 6. At 2240 RPM (80C) > 5.0 bars 7. At 2400 RPM (86C) > 4.8 bars 8. At idle (90C) was 1.6 bars 9. At 4040 RPM (86C) > 5.5 bars 10. At idle (93C) was 1.2 bars 11. At idle (94C) was 1.2 bars If there are any Porsche techs, do these numbers look normal? So far no warning. The Cayenne runs great. I am going to update if I see the sensor come back on or in a month.

I plan on changing the oil this Thursday. I still have the manual oil pressure gauge attached to the oil pressure port so I going to re-run the same test with the new oil. Just curious to see the pressure. I will post the results.
-
Thanks. My concern is engine wear or weak pump. I have had cars in the 300k+ and never had an issue of using a thicker oil for the summer periods. I do understand that the Porsche oil pump pressure is different from the domestics (GM and Ford). I am not sure if this is typical for Porsche or VW that as the car ages you would have to switch to a thicker summer oil?

I have not heard knocking. Engine runs fine. The first time it happened two weeks ago. I stopped driving thinking it could be a faulty oil pressure sensor. I changed it out within two days the warning came back. I then proceed to install an oil pressure gauge in the oil sensor port. I carefully let the car warm up to 90C. The manual had a spec which was 1.5 bars at 90C. It got exactly there and match the posts I have read from other owners. Then tested from 2-3K and finally up to 4k and the results where noted above. Once the engine temp got 94C he bar dropped to 1.0 which i think is low? No knocking. Every time the warning came on. I shut the car off checked the oil level which is fine. I have always used 5W30 full synthetic for the past 3 1/2 years without any warning light. The manual calls for 5W30. I am considering using 0W40 which is slightly thicker and may not thin out as much. I plan on doing the same testing to see if the pressure improves at the 90-94C engine temp and the light goes away.

My wife’s Cayenne got the “Oil Pressure Low Warning!” I read many posts and many tried to change the oil pressure sensor which I did. Unfortunately, I swapped out the sensors. A couple of days later, “Oil Pressure Low Warning!”. I purchase an oil pressure gauge and unscrewed the oil pressure sensor and replaced with the gauge to monitor the pressure. These were my results: 1. At idle (cold) started at 4.5 bars 2. At idle (90C) was 1.5 bars which per the manual is at spec. 3. Revved the engine to 2500-3000, it was at 3.5 to 4.5 bars 4. At idle (93C) was 1.0 bar?? 5. Revved the engine to 4000, it was at 5.5 bars 6. At idle (94C) was 1.0 bar?? The manual and forums I read stated it should be 1.5 bars at full operating temperature. I love the car and always do all the required maintenance. I change the oil every 3,000 miles with full synthetic. My question: is 1.0 bar causing the “Oil Pressure Low Warning!”. I did not hear knocking during the revs. The engine felt strong. Could it be just a weak oil pump or something else? Any thoughts or advice would be helpful!
