  1. I have finally managed to getsome additional diagnostics done. When testing pressure in Cylinder 8 managed to get upto 50% from arounf 20% initially. Further camera work displayed pitting, discolouring & scoring on Cylinder 8. Andvice from the independent garage is that i should look for a new engine. Does anybody have any experience of someone who can re-engineer such a problem (In the UK)? I'm wondering now whether to look for a replacment engine or just to sell the car as is (which i am a little reluctant to do)
  2. Thanks both for your comments. As you can gather I'm not so technical. I should also have mentioned that they said they put a camera into the spark plug opening and didn't see anything which looked out of the ordinary.
  3. Hi, i don't think Porsche in Germany generated any codes (or atleast they did not share them with me if they did). I did see the results of the presseure tests with the graphs showing cylinders 1-7 and then cylinder 8 being blank. I think i will try to find an independent specialist in NW uk to take the engine out & tell me whether it is worth reparing. Cheers
  4. Hi, I have an issue with 2003 Cayenne Turbo which started after filling up car in France. Shortly afterwards car started shaking with little power. Was ok on motorway going 70mph max but any faster, or up hills, shaking returned. Similar thing happened a few years ago which was resolved with new ignition coils and spark plugs. However this time this has not solved the problem and porsche in Germany did compression test and found no pressure in cylinder 8. Car has now been towed back to UK and i'm hoping to find a way to diagnose the problem without taking the engine out. Porsche in Germany put a camera in the cylinders and they are not scoured but spark plugs were all black. I can't find any similar problems but hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction. The engine management light is on permanently orange now. Car has done 98,000 miles and otherwise great. Any hints would be greatfully received...
  5. That looks exactly like the PCM I have on my 2003 Turbo. It needs the SIM Card Tray replacing so if you have trouble fitting & want to sell please let me know.
  6. Does anyone have any experience of having the SIM Card break on a Cayenne PCM unit? According to Porsche the whole unit needs replacing even though the only thing wrong with the unit is the SIM card drawer being stuck in. Any info gratefully received, especially if anyone knows an audio company in the UK who might be able to fix the PCM. Thanks for you help!
