    Normal behavior for a stock Cayenne, please do a search, this issue is already discussed before.
  2. RFM
    Fully agree on that point with Glyn.
  3. RFM
    Probably a temp. sensor fault (outside or inside sensor, or implausible signal between those sensors and the control box). A diagnostic tool can help you out.
  4. RFM
    I would use a 5W-50 for Australia, certainly not 5W-30 due too "thin".

    Looks like bkc888 have a Tiptronic gearbox since the warranty cy. offers 9.2 hours, any warranty cy. will pay this time rate for a car with a manual gearbox, cause it takes only max. half the time to do the job, they have also the official factory time schedules. Perhaps the repair shop is not experienced enough to achieve the time schedule as it should (time schedules are draw up on new cars, not on used and possible rusty and damaged cars), the difference is then charged to the customer, that's the way how it works over here.

    Atwal87, since when is the DME located under the passenger seat on a 996 coupe? :unsure:
  7. RFM
    Perhaps someone replaced the sump cover in the past, and used too much green silicon sealant, instead of the OEM colorless type.

    Pentosin CHF 11 S (green) is replaced by CHF 202, this explains the fluid color change, the low power steering fluid level is mostly due by lack of service, sometimes a steering rack leak, take a look inside the dust bellows, they must be dry inside. Top up the level with one of the two mentioned fluids (may be mixed) and keep an eye on it.
  9. RFM
    Fluid change was (during the pre-production period) only when a part of the system needs replacement, could be possible that this point is revised.
  10. RFM
    OEM bolt is a multi-point, as wvicary suggest, do not mix up multi-points with Torx for your own good.
  11. RFM
    The fluid reservoir is located under the left engine compartment trim, the reservoir should be replaced together with the fluid, cause a build in filter. It is extremely important to keep the system free of air bubbles (check the fluid level). Running the tandem pump (steering assist pump/PDCC) with less of fluid or air bubbles in the circuit destroy the fragile pump within minutes. The fluid is PENTOSIN CHF 202 and the bleeding can only performed by PIWIS.
  12. RFM
    Cayenne dashboards, (especially the older MY) are a inexhaustible source of rattles and squeaks, difficult to locate from distance.
  13. RFM
    The car should start with the steel key's, most part of the Cayenne (Kessy) owners use only the steel key's instead of the plastic dummy, cause the steel one (with transmitter) is needed in the ignition lock area anyway, to start the car. Off topic: Kessy and non Kessy Cayenne use the same control box, only the MY and programming is different (EU).
  14. RFM
    VAG and PORSCHE use different diagnostic protocols.
  15. RFM
    Check PM.
  16. RFM
    A slight manual help is needed till approx. half way open. (Cayenne gen. 1)
  17. RFM
    Check for power and ground on the top and car connector, if there is no power on the connector and the fuse is in good shape, could be possible you disconnected a wire somewhere in the dash. If not, check the wiring and defroster on the hardtop.
  18. RFM
    Bushing, crankshaft axial bearings, ... ?
  19. RFM
    This question is already answered a little lower on the page "Fitting a hardtop on a 987"
  20. RFM
    If the valve fails due a vacuum leak it remains open, the gearbox is fully cooled and the engine temp. drops from approx. 85°C till approx. 70°C while driving.
  21. RFM
    Looks like the cooling water channel cover (metal) seal which is leaking, easy to replace, with drained engine (cooling water)
  22. RFM
    Looks like the DME is already programmed twice, once in the factory and once thereafter, for whatever reason.
  23. RFM
    OEM front strut top bearings are plug and play, no extra lubrication before installing is needed.
  24. RFM
    Remove the electric part of the switch and try again, if everything feels good now, replace only the electric part, if not replace the complete switch.
  25. RFM
    P1128 DME on RICH threshold cyl. 1-3, means the engine runs too LEAN on cyl. 1-3. Please use the search button, this issue is already discussed.
