    A lot of aftermarket parts sellers are pushing cheap Asian made axles that are nothing like the OEM units. If you could see them side by side, you would understand my comment. Rather than replace the axle, why not pull it and refurbish it yourself? While messy due the CV joint grease, it is not a hard project and has been written up here and elsewhere several times. If you rebuilt your original axle, you would know exactly how good it was...………….

    An experienced shop could do both in a couple hours on a lift.

    Welcome to RennTech The Tiptronic transmission has a cooling system control valve outside the transmission that can cause this behavior. While it is a bit of a pain to get to, it can be changed to correct the issue.

    Uview makes two version, one is plastic and comes with a general use adaptor, the second is all metal and comes with adaptors for everything known to mankind...………..

    Both codes are for a secondary air injection system malfunction, possibly a vacuum leak.

    No, there is no cotter pin in the axle nut, which should be torqued to 460Nm or 340 ft. lbs. The grease is from the outer CV joint (as the wheel bearing is a sealed unit), which is inside a flexible boot. They can be cleaned and repacked, but that requires replacing the boot.

    Welcome to RennTech The M96/97 engines are famous for start up noises, primarily caused by the hydraulic chain tensioners bleeding down while sitting (Porsche updated these a couple of times to try and help with this). Eventually, they will need to be changed, but in the meanwhile switching to an oil with higher film strength can help reduce the issue.

    Welcome to RennTech Your dealer is more than a little out of line price wise for that electric motor, it should retail for around $250. You could also get one out of a wreck as well.

    It sounds like you may have igniter problems, particularly if the Lits are used.
  10. JFP in PA
    Most likely the SIA system, which is probably either dirty or the pump itself is on the way out.

    This set has been kicking around for years. While better than nothing, it does not contain any of the more than 100 corrected or ammended pages that have been publihished over the years, so some of the information is out of date or just wrong.

    The V6 Cayenne has an AOS built into the valve cover itself, much like the 3.2L Audi engines. It has a diaphragm in it which can fail. I believe Porsche does not sell these parts anymore (955.110.765.00 Valve crankcase bleeding), only an new valve cover with it built in for around $360. I understand that there are aftermarket rebuild kits for these now. UPDATE: I stand corrected, part is still available for around $260 from board sponsor Sunset Porsche. PCV Valve - Porsche (955-110-765-00)

    Probably the most useful in that context would be the factory OBDII manual, which is now out of print, but used copies come up for sale online from time to time.

    Welcome to RennTech Sounds like a classic ignition switch problem.
  15. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Borescope the bad cylinder looking for wall scuffing.
  16. JFP in PA
    As Duncan noted, the coils are the correct ones, so the problem lies elsewhere, possibly not having fully seated the connectors, which is a common problem.

    Welcome to RennTech Your system may have misplaced its marbles with the battery replacement, and that may require a reset with either a PST II or PIWIS system.
  18. JFP in PA
    No, from underneath.
  19. JFP in PA
    It would probably just spin over as the DME would not see the engine turning and shut off the fuel and ignition systems.
  20. JFP in PA
    Did you change it but with a stripped bolt? Reason I ask is if the CPS is left loose, the sensor can back away from the flywheel enough to not see the trigger teeth and the car will act like it has another dead sensor…...
  21. JFP in PA
    We would do it by using a vacuum filling system which completely eliminates all of the "burping" nonsense.
  22. JFP in PA
    Yes.

    Welcome to RennTech TSBs are copyrighted material (by Porsche) and not available here (or anywhere but Porsche).

    Welcome to RennTech More than likely, the grey fluid is the give away. You had a lot of metal debris in the old fluid, so you probably have something more serious going on inside.

    Sometimes it is just the simple things. Glad you got it sorted.
