    It is normal that the led's stay on, they go's out as you say after locking the car. You have always to lock the car to give time the control boxes to get in sleep mode, if not the battery is empty in a couple of hours.

    Since the engine will crank and not fire, i should go for the relays ( DME - fuel pump, etc. )
  3. RFM
    Removal from the top of the engine is the most easy way to do, there is also access from the bottom if you have a lift.

    Dealer and PIWIS can help you out.

    Controls the map and compass. If the setting is OK ( navi fix is canceled ) go back to FACTORY SETTINGS and do a test drive, if the problem still occurs go to the dealer to check with the PIWIS tester. You have to know that the arrow disappears if you are on the highway for more than 20 Km ( same road ) turns or straight ahead, this a normal phenomenon.
  6. RFM
    Take a look in the menu, till you find the setting NAVI FIX, cancel this. There is a chance that the module jumps to navi fix.

    Antenna? Check for received satellites quantity when it happens.
  8. RFM
    When the coolant level in the expansion tank is OK, check the sensor in the tank and/or the wiring.
  9. RFM
    I suggest to disconnect all the after market stuff and than start the trouble shooting. You have to start with a car in driving condition before installing gadgets, it is much easier to approach troubles afterwards.

    geoff Don't forget the Europe DVD and the PCM programed for Europe frequency's, and enjoy your stay.
  11. RFM
    geoff EU Cayenne ( DVD nav. ) need the latest update to have TMC, 987 - 997 idem, but the update is different.
  12. RFM
    987 engine compartment fan: active.>70° C stop <55°C ( engine comp. temp. ) active.>102°C stop <99°C ( coolant temp. ) the fan is also active when the intake air ( ambient ) temp. is elevate ( no values available ). All from the book.
  13. RFM
    You can do it by yourself, if you are handy, the manual and the electric operated as well. The dealer have to program the hitch in the car system.
  14. RFM
    Cayenne PCM is different, the updates as well.
  15. RFM
    The motor is a servo motor ( with self control ), probably the motor is faulty. You need a PIWIS tester to activate and check.
  16. RFM
    Not anyone will start with this, too much money and time. Just my opinion.
  17. RFM
    With the key removed ( the lock makes a click sound ) all the power is shut off, if you leave the key in the ignition lock, there is power on the contact points in the lock next to the points" ignition on". After several start procedures during the years, there are residues of metal coming from the contact points on the " track" of the rotation disc inside the lock, which is always the same, and conduct a small amount of power just sufficient to disturb the reading.
  18. RFM
    Swap conventional head lights with litronics will work on European cars, except the electronic leveling, you need sensors and wiring for that item, head light washer system is needed also ( i don't no in the US. )
  19. RFM
    The radio is a part of the PCM and the radio antenna is on the back side near the navigation antenna. Remove both side panels ( what you have done already ) on the right side, behind the side panel is a small bolt ( 8 mm key ) you have to remove this first. The PCM fixation is the same as the 996 series, 4 locks in total, 1 lock toward the top and 1 lock toward the bottom from both sides of the PCM left and right just behind the front plate, turn the locks 90° with an Allen key ( 5 mm ). You can slide out the PCM now.
  20. RFM
    You need fault codes, there are several causes possible, misfires are one of them.
  21. RFM
    PSM will go out while driving, the system have got a power fail, fault code stay in the memory. Is the car already in the original condition? All systems OK? You can visit the dealer to clear the fault codes or you can buy a diagnostic tool to do it yourself.
  22. RFM
    987 and 997 use complete different systems as 986 and 996 for lights front and rear, radiator fans, brake lights etc. All this stuff comes via control boxes, most of the interventions in the electric systems are no longer DIY and you need PIWIS also to change settings, transform the car as it was and try again. I hope for you that all the control boxes are still intact.
  23. RFM
    Alternator failure i guess, check the voltage on the battery while the engine is idling, between 13.80 V and 14.50 V is acceptable.
  24. RFM
    This occurs occasionally rather uncommon, have you tried with a new belt already?
  25. RFM
    I don't have electric schematics here, but is there no relays between the start motor solenoid and the ignition switch on a US version? Burned points give the same symptoms, a second option is a delay in the transmitter recognizing system, you can try with the spare remote/key, if you have the same result both remotes/keys ( sender ) are OK. The receiver pass test is a dealer job. Try pk2 suggestion first. Success.
