    mine was new, 800 installed by dealer
  2. mudman2
    At my dealer there is basically 1 tech who is great at tires and he tends to do them all. They banned certain techs from using the Hunter.

    Mounting the tires can be a PIA, I have had them taken off and rotated 90 degrees on the same wheel and it cured it after RFB
  4. mudman2
    1 - Brake Rotors 2 - Wheels need to be road force balanced
  5. mudman2
    I would bet the short engine is the same
  6. mudman2
    So I take it this is not a dealer working on the car ? Your cooling pipes went, normal The T pipe on a TT should have been replaced at rthe same time (15 minutes job does not sound right to me) Has the mechanic even seen a Cayenne before is my question ?
  7. mudman2
    + 1 on a dead battery, has all the hallmarks
  8. mudman2
    Snap !!

    I was told that 03/04 MY had some QA problems on the struts, supposed to be pretty rare but it happened to me and I have only heard af a few more.
  10. mudman2
    I had that 5mph max, in other words flatbed, sorry, good luck
  11. mudman2
    Its rare that the release catch will go, if it does you can release from the inside with a LOT of effort. +1 on the battery
  12. mudman2
    maybe the Kesse control unit, you need to get errors from PIWIS
  13. mudman2
    Agree. the itronics unit is Mobridge.
  14. mudman2
    You will have to purchase 2 VW euro converter cables, from almost any stereo shop even best buy carry them. As an alternative get a Mobridge unit and go digital. Both work, I have the FM Modulator in my car for Sirius for a while prior to getting a Mobdrige unit in my 04 For the Device (FM Modulator) try to get a Panasonic one, they work great but there a load of other ones out there.

    The developers don't update cars. I have heard of updates that have bricked the PCM because power was lost on the update.
  16. mudman2
    its an option on all
  17. mudman2
    what you describe is very close to what all 04 S's mine included had from new, i thought all were sorted out by now. The DME unit had messed up software and multiple tries to fix it were made in the early days, some had multiple DME control units replaced. Some had transmission control units swapped. because its a software/firmware issue PIWIS will see no fault codes. I would get them to verify all the control units match in version numbers
  18. mudman2
    I do agree, flatbed is the only real answer
  19. mudman2
    +1

    So the connection to the rear spoiler or the antenna itself is toast then, So RHD cars still have the dvd units under the right seat, interesting.
  21. mudman2
    I tried for a few years to get this to work. The main issue I had was the AUTO ON headlights, the instructions say to only switch the HID lights on when the engine is running due to the high starting power requirements. With auto on headlights as soon as you start the the engine in the right light conditions the lights come on and that shortens the life or kills the bulbs. I tried turning my lights to the full off position (most of the time I remembered) but even with the most expensive kits I was seeing failures way to often to make them worthwhile. I ended up switching back the the brightest halogens I could get my hands on. I made the decision when I purchased the car from new that I prefered the Air Suspension to the Xenons and have not regretted that, i would still not trade one over the other.
  22. mudman2
    On 05 I would make a bet on the amp
  23. mudman2
    Apart from shaking the car a bit I dont think so. Where did you see a GPS plugged into the back of the reciever ? I would pull and re seat all the plugs back there as a start. The actual reciever is under the rear spoiler, perhaps water got in
  24. mudman2
    I have seen that happen once in a while, it says 0 Satelites right ? I have had that for 30 minutes of so but it eventually comes back. I did fix it once by shutting the car of for 10 minutes, next time it came up right away
  25. mudman2
    you can also get $20 brake pads for a mustang, hardly a comparison
