Hi -- was was the cost to replace and install the wiper assembly? IF DIY what was the part cost and time and your level of expertise?

I think the part was a little over $200(can't remember) It would be an easy fix except some of the pieces which had to come off were seized and required a very small puller (which I didn't have) to remove. I think labour was an hour.

Hello Tonga3,

The exact same thing is happening to my 04 Cayenne. Can you confirm how you resolved the issue?

Thanks,

Mark

I ended up having to replace the whole wiper assembly.

Any updates to this problem, as I'm having the exact same issue. I'm not sure if its the CV or something more serious. Any input?

Thanks

It dropped out of the pan with no issues, it won't fit through the aluminum crossmember and the oil pan. I turned it every direction for an hour and a half and just had to reinstall the old one.

I have the oil drained and the sensor screws out but can't get the sensor out. It seems like every way you turn it it just won't slip out. Anyone done this?

Great, thanks.

Andy

Great pictures and helpful tips. What is the jack supporting in the pictures? Thanks to everyone for the help.

Hi there...

I used a dremmel tool with a cutting wheel...Then filed the edges and then sanded the edges and it came out perfect. I spent a great deal of time with the bumper cover on the ground measuring,drawing

and test fitting before I cut it. Take your time and it will work out great!

I also attached a PDF with photos for a DIY. This is not my vehicle, but back when I did mine, I found these pictures and they were very helpful for me, so I combined in a PDF. They may not be in order...

Good luck!

I'm installing a hitch this weekend and am wondering what people have used to cut out the bumper. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

The wipers will move if I help them along, the motor sounds very weak. It does'nt take alot of pressure on my part to pull the wipers along. Itried getting to the motor last night but could not pull the wiper arms off. Anybody taken those off before?

So last night I go to clean my windshield and the wipers get half way up the windshield and they just stop. I try again and they just slowly pulse back and forth 6 inches either way in the middle of the windshield. Would people agree that i need to replace the wiper motor or could it be somethimg else.

Thanks

Try removing your headlights and check how tight the connector is inside the engine bay behind the lights. I understand that sometimes they work themselves loose and just need to be re-tightened.

Tonga - the cat bypass wakes ups the dead and most of your neighbors when you get on it. Nice and quite when you drive like a human, but the second you punch it its like a small explosion.

Only thing, its all out the backend, so if you really want to hear what others are hearing, open the window a tad. I am def happy with this mod.

Good to know. I think I now know my first upgrade. Thanks for helping me spend more money Roxboxxx :rolleyes: !!

I found that if the air conditioner is on in traffic then the temp is stable. If I drive with the windows open in traffic the temp creeps up and then falls again.

I bought mine with 94000 km's on it, and I now have 108000 with no complaints. I just finished doing the air filters and an oil change on it. All things being equal I would personally go for the Turbo.

Thanks

I bought an '05 CS back in June. Absolutely love it. I bought a durametric cable so I could do some service myself. Hey Roxboxxx, did adding the cat bypass wake the sound up much?

Thanks

Andy

I put all weathertech mats in and they are great. The fit is perfect.

PM me and I'll send you an address.

Can anyone tell me if a 22x10 victor equipment rim will fit my '05 CS? They came off of an '07 but a 1010 tire website say they will fit an '06 and up but not an '05. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Andy

Leaving it overnight did the trick. Thanks Mudman. It must of been tired.

Both, and it was not in the sun. The radio and cd function normally except for sound.

No radio sound or no CD sound? Both? Was the car parked in the hot sun?

I was out driving around listening to the stereo, stoppped at the gym for an hour and when I started it up the stereo itself seems to be functioning fine but all of a sudden there is no sound out of any speakers. Anybody ever experience this or have any ideas? It's an '05 S with just a single CD no PCM and bose speakers.

Thanks

Andy
