    Brake switch, MAF and throttle body affect ABS and TC.

    There must be a little screw on the bottom side of the seat to hold the cover in place.

    1) The front sensor wiring has a weak point when the wheels are hanging free on the suspension, the INSIDE wiring will break between the attachment grommet, (on the shock absorber) and the wheel well cause the infinitely many up and downwards movements of the wheels during the years of driving. 2) Check the brake switch. 3) Check the MAF.

    All the factory rebuild engines MY 2006 > have the latest updates and are very reliable, you can count on your fingers the broken M 96/97 engines since MY 2006.

    Do what wvicary suggest, a water cooled alternator replacement on a Cayenne Turbo is not a joke. All the front radiators and fans, right wheel, inner wheel well, right turbo tubes and air filter housing should be removed. The right side of the engine should be lifted up as well to slide out the alternator via the right wheel well. All the alternators (Cayenne Turbo and S) i have replaced had the same noise as a worn out water pump, which was produced by the alternator build in water pump. Hope it helps.

    97boxsterred The thermostat housing, inclusive temperature sensor is located on the rear/left of the engine (V6).

    Take the car outside and the PCM MANUAL on your knees: Check the quantity of received satellites - Check in the menu's if the navi. auto-lock is ON or OFF/SHOULD be OFF - Go back to FACTORY SETTINGS - Try again. If you got no PCM manual, download one here

    I do not know for US, but you can find that info in the PET.

    A brake fluid change, inclusive clutch, will take approx. 1 litre of fluid. Tiptronic and manual use the same BRAKE system with a "few drops less" fluid contents for the Tiptronic because absence of clutch.

    Are the CD's original ones ? If not, do the check with originals to exclude potentially aftermarket (burned) CD errors.
  11. RFM
    Aftermarket connector?? Porsche wiring is equipment/option specific, you should have to go in to the existing wiring IMHO.

    Post #7 Take a look on this discussion to have a larger overview about P 0021.

    It's better to remove the seat and take a closer look what exactly is happen, there is no room under the seat in lowest possition to fix it.

    Cyl. # 1 is on the oil filler cap (where # 4 is on the pic.), - cyl. # 5 is on the opposite side (where # 8 is on the pic.) Hope it helps.

    Great djomlas, glad to hear you solved the problem.
  16. RFM
    This is discussed before here, please do a search, it have to do with the switch, build in the top lock unit, where the top handle hook sits with the top in closed (up) possition. Window control think that the hook is unlocked to open the top and will drop the windows spontaneously.

    Check also if the carpet trim, bottom of the door inner trim, stays dry, water can also enter inside the car by a cracked/torn inner door membrane or clogged door drains.

    Believe it or not, Porsche's equipped with the standard wheels have a better drivability, comfort and are less fatigue on PUBLIC ROADS under all circumstances since the SC series (ROW suspension). Besides much less expensive.
  19. RFM
    You are correct, a PST2 cant program/reset 987/997 and later Cayenne.
  20. RFM
    Since the LED's are lesser in WATTAGE than conventional bulbs, the control box cant reach the programmed values. Replace the LED's with original bulbs to avoid this kind of problems.

    It's the black part with the electric connector, left upper side of the throttle body. ;)
  22. RFM
    That's strange, it's a part of the throttle body (bolted on with two small bolts) and delivered as a unit. The part is approx. square and black.
  23. RFM
    The black plastic unit on the throttle body left side, as shown in the pic. you have posted above.
  24. RFM
    The seat can stay in place, remove the plastic trim under the front side of the seat, remove the left and right side bolt which hold the seat chassis to the car floor, lift the front of the seat up and pull backwards. Remove the battery cover and battery.
  25. RFM
    The engine can stay in place to replace the metal tube, but it's pretty hard work (LHD cars)
