    The question is how the seat adjustment function have tested, with a person in the seat (loaded) or empty (unloaded). If the adjustment does functioning loaded and well unloaded, the motor is worn out.
  2. RFM
    You'd also perform an oil and filter change as inexpensive solution, you name it "shifts upwards slowly" but is that really true, has already an experienced person driven the car? Keep also in mind that it is a Tiptronic and no PDK.
  3. RFM
    Are you sure the tire and wheel sizes are conform, Tiptronic gearboxes are very sensitive to such matters. The programmed shift diagrams are than no longer match.
  4. RFM
    A few ideas: battery defective or insufficient voltage (charge) window and/or poorly adjusted mechanism motor worn out Success

    They are trim color related and different left and right, so it is not that simple. I would contact Sunset Porsche Parts, use the Special Offers button on top of the page.

    A liter of petrol gives approx. a liter of water when ignited in the combustion chamber, a part of it disappears into the engine block by blow-by, the greater part in the exhaust. Drops of water will evaporate into the warming exhaust and becomes visible as vapour until the complete exhaust system is heated. The colder and or the higher outside air humidity is, the longer the phenomenon occurs. The length of the exhaust system is also important, thus for a Cayenne the vapour is longer visible and even not disappear under the same conditions, and yes 35° F is cold enough.

    As i already mentioned in my previous post, it's most likely vapour, produced by a cold engine and cold outside temperatures.It would not be normal for a turbo engine, smoke during four minutes without a noticeable change in oil and coolant level, and besides run properly seen no complaint about that is mentioned in Mike's previous posts.
  8. RFM
    When you start the car on cold mornings, the "smoke" is mostly steam and is normal, the phenomenon should disappear once the outside temperature is rising. Just keep an eye on it.

    Adding a lubricant help only temporarily and is intended only as an aid to locate a noise (ball joints), it always ends with a new part.
  11. RFM
    Glad you solved the problem.
  12. RFM
    Use the "Special Offers" button at the top of the page and select "Sunset Porsche Parts" , these guys can certainly help.

    Welcome, have you already tried the search button? This item has already been discussed many times.
  14. RFM
    Check also the power steering fluid level, with a too low fluid level, the steering pump will squeak.
  15. RFM
    Any decent A/C specialist, worthy of the name, must be considered capable to find leaks how small they may be.
  16. RFM
    I would start reading error codes and system check with a PIWIS diagnostic tool, it could be anything as wiring interruption or even missing, control box/relay bad, fuses, spoiler motor or drive, etc.
  17. RFM
    The button.
  18. RFM
    Be sure that the replacement rubber vacuum tubes are fuel/oil resistant, if not you can start over next year.
  19. RFM
    No, the switch is located just under the Climate Control unit panel on a 987/997. It is a complete unit together with PSM and some other buttons depending on the available options, you will need a wiring diagram to check the wiring's in the single conector.
  20. RFM
    Older Cayenne's have sometimes suffered from water infiltration into the button of the glass part ( where the wiper is fitted ), a new button is than inevitably. The first thing to do is always error code checking.
  21. RFM
    If the engine is already equipped with variocam plus, check out the hydraulic tappets of the corresponding cylinder. It may be that one of the tappets remains blocked in the full lift possition.
  22. RFM
    Agree with logray about the battery as first suspect. It would appear that the battery is the culprit.
  23. RFM
    Glad that it is solved.
  24. RFM
    No problem Alfieboy, the 996 rear quarter is made of galvanised steel, not aluminum.
  25. RFM
    The booster is rarely the cause of such symptoms, if properly bled and no traces of brake fluid are visible, i would rather look at inner leakage on master brake pump or ABS unit. Just a thought.
