    The home link on that model is notoriously hard to program. As I recall lots of tries and waving the sender around and about the roof switch was required. Much was written about it, don't think the battery would cause that issue. What do you mean by erratic wiper behavior ?
  2. mudman2
    there are loads on ebay
  3. mudman2
    So I need a tire machine ? and then re balance I suppose
  4. mudman2
    Anyone know how hard this is to do ? The 08 I just got has new frequency so my winters will no longer work
  5. mudman2
    Could well be but I would make sure that both keys are set up correctly. On an 04 your main battery is way past due in age alone. I would replace it before anything more serious starts to happen

    Sorry to hear that man, it sucks

    Where did you get the bulb holder from ?
  8. mudman2
    Autozone have the battery

    After MUCH investigation. When you remove the turn signal bulb you will see 2 contacts, they seem to be mounted on a ring, some sort of suspension maybe. Anyway what I found is one of the contacts no longer makes contact with the bulb. I tried to remove the sub housing without success. My last try worked. I got some silver foil from cigarette pack (not mine) and folded it up and wrapped it over the damaged contact. When you carefully replace the bulb it gives just enough extra contact to get it working again. May work for you , may not Cheaper than replacing the cluster

    there may be a way to charge the system from under the passenger seat. If you could adapt the tire inflator system. The key would be the connector which contains a ring magnet to activate a reed switch to allow air out, it might also allow air in

    Did you change the battery under the drivers seat recently, maybe the seat became disconnected in the seat gyrations
  12. mudman2
    Does the car have 2 batteries ? if so which one did you replace ?
  13. mudman2
    That never worked after early production, a DME software change was responsible for the change
  14. mudman2
    Thats the common problem the MOST does not like things blinking on and off and gets confused, restart will fix but not as flexible as it first appears

    The Egas system on the Cayenne has a learning program and when you drive it for a while it figures out your driving style and adapts to it. When the car has been hooked up to PIWIS and had the work done you describe, they most likely reset the egas learning program and it will appear more spirited for a while until it re adapts to your driving style. I would give it a couple of weeks and see what happens.after she drives it for a while before spending any more money at the dealer.

    This could be a number of things, you don't say what kind of suspension you have. If you have Sensotronic steering this can give feedback through the wheel sometimes, Alignment being off can also cause strange things. Grippy aggressive tired treads can also feel like that when cold.

    looks like PCM 2.0, firmware version 3.0 (the latest)
  18. mudman2
    Yeh right hahaha
  19. mudman2
    What model year ?
  20. mudman2
    Carden Shaft makes that noise as the center bearing starts to go, it can also produce vibration
  21. mudman2
    You can easily rebuild the compressor using a low cost vw kit, DIY on this board
  22. mudman2
    if you say the word "wummering" a few times in a row does it sound like that
  23. mudman2
    This time it was a fizzier, both fronts went down, i was a wedge
  24. mudman2
    OK my other airbag blew. Initially they said Replace, when I challenged them they told me PAG instructions are to replace both struts with matching part numbers, est $3800. I said no. They are now rebuilding the strut using the $368 part but labor is about 500, plus parts and tax this time it will be over $1000 better than 3800 I suppose
  25. mudman2
    Never heard of anyone doing that and I have not seen a connector to do it. Think your self lucky my right side airbag blew out on the strut yesterday :-(
