    The capsule in the remote is the transponder, need to start the car, not to open the car. The remote is dead, buy a new one, those things can happen.

    It is recommended to remove the bumpers for easy access, you need some water and a brush, dry the connectors and sensors with compressed air before installing the bumpers. Gives a special attention on the extreme left and right rear sensor ( above the exhaust tips ) they are real mud containers.

    Have the 04 CT in the US no phone module ? ROW 04 CT have the module under the right front seat ( mostly Motorola ) Anyway looks like the MOST circuit is not closed or wrong/incomplete coding.

    Drain holes and tubes are in each of the four corners of the sunroof frame.

    1/ it's not a DIY 2/ Tiptronic manufacturer: Z.F. Germany 3/ probably yes, look for transmission specialist with Z.F. connections

    You need a diagnostic tool to find out which sensor is faulty. As mudman2 mentioned, clean the sensors on the inside/backside of the bumpers. Check also the sensors for parking damage, slight damage or loose sensor can give faults.

    The drivers doorlock is a typical DIY problem Richard.
  8. RFM
    Probably for the GAL or similar function.

    Read the first sentence in my previous post again.

    Take a look first if the hardtop quick fasteners inserts in the B pillars are already installed. ROW cars delivered without the hardtop option don't have that. Open the top completely and look straight in to the top of the B pillar, if you find a black circular plastic cover ( approx. 2 cm. diameter ), the inserts are not installed. Don't forget to order them. To remove the side vents, do a search, it is on the board already, under desnorkeling of something.

    P zero asimmetrico will have usually a strange wear pattern, if you have to renew them, buy P zero Rosso, if you like to stay with Pirelli or take an other approved brand. Fill up the fuel tank and let check the alignment.
  12. RFM
    Does what Loren suggest, if the fault comes back replace the sensor. Bank 2 runs on the same Lukoil after all.

    All speedometers reed a certain % too higher/much, in speed and distance as well. There are company's which are able to calibrate the speedo/odo meters, ask the police where they go's.

    I should start with a coil check on cyl. 5 and 6 ( cyl. 5 is located middle left side - cyl. 6 most rear one on the left side ), if they are cracked renew all the coils. Clear the codes and try again.
  15. RFM
    I did what you mentioned about physics, air is compressible hydraulic not. Anyway it's your car.
  16. RFM
    Are you sure, looks like melted protection product mixed with dirt, i cant see any traces of oil on the shaft pivot point self. I should clean the area and check later on after a drive.

    You find left/right side parking lights mostly on German cars, it have to do with the law. If you park the car on a not illuminated country road without verge by night or fog, you have to use them ( if the car is equipped with ) , if you don't, the insurance company in case of accident can ask for partial responsibility.

    If the calipers are not bleeding properly and in order as i mentioned in my earlier post, the risque of a small air bubble is existing in the inside part of the caliper, which means that the brake pressure is slightly minor in the inside part than in the outside part. Why should some cars have this issue of inside corroded rotors and others not, there is water and dirt in most places over the world. On a perfect working system the pads will clean the rotors on the same way inside or outside. Drive you car on a brake test bench before and after the bleeding is executed, and note the difference in efficiency between both tests from slightly braking till full braking. Forum member Westcoaster is not so far away with his theory of "something out of alignment" the result is the practically the same.

    The Cayenne and 987 MAF are not available separately, the housing is a part of it. Perhaps you can find a used one somewhere, they are not so fragile as the older ones.
  20. RFM
    You can try to disconnect the battery for a couple of hours, if not a PIWIS tester is recommended to find out what's wrong.
  21. RFM
    Brakes are cooled from the inside to the outside ( that's way the wheels become dirty with brake dust ), so more air to dry on the outside as you said makes no sense IMHO.
  22. RFM
    The dealer can disable permanently this function with the PIWIS tester menu "Seat memory" sub menu "Coding". Since you have a ROW version, push the mirror switch to the left possition to disable, in some ROW country's it will work in others not, try it out first.

    For those who are interested, you can avoid this problem if you keep the calipers inside clean after a pad change so that the pads can slide easily, bleed the brakes regularly. Start bleeding the wheel which is furthest from the master brake cylinder in this order for LHD cars = 1/ right rear wheel - inside nipple first, than outside nipple 2/ left rear wheel - inside nipple first, than outside nipple 3/ right front wheel - same method as rear wheels 4/ left front wheel - same method as rear wheels. Hope it helps.

    If the clutch pedal feel light in combination with a slipping clutch, than you can count that the diaphragm spring in the pressure group is cracked. Replace the entire clutch ( disc, pressure group, release bearing ) check the flywheel as well. I should update the RMS/IMS till the newest norm also. No idea about prices and your possibilities to do it yourself.
  25. RFM
    Dealers can adjust the odometer restricted, with the PIWIS, from for example 000.110 Km to 000.000 Km. and vice versa. He can try to read out the old cluster, and read in the the spare one with the obtained data.
