So this wouldn't require the removal of the chip -- simply flashing the stock program back on it? (I'm wondering if this is something that will be easy to turn on/off in the future for anything else that might come up that's covered under warranty). Rick

Great, thanks again. Last question, and this is really what's been concerning me about this particular Cayenne -- it has a GIAC chip in it. The person selling it to me (and this is co-worker of mine so I'm not too concerned) has claimed that this chip will only void the warranty if they can show that it specifically is to blame for whatever it is that is malfunctioning. Knowing warranties in general and the way most car companies do business, I find this hard to believe -- I feel like if they know this chip is in there, they can pretty much say it caused just about any damage (that would ordinarily be covered under warranty). I have to imagine the burden of proof would be on ME (to prove that it WASN'T the cause) and not on them to prove that it was... He is going to sell it to me for under 50k -- which I think is a great deal for this vehicle (27k miles), but I'm very concerned about the chip. What can I expect if I take it in for service for something like these coils? Thanks again -- I've never seen a forum with such prompt replies! Rick

Thanks everybody. Let's assume it *is* this coil problem to which you're referring, roughly what does this repair cost (assuming they need to be replaced)? Are we talking hundreds or thousands? Thanks again! Rick

Greetings, I'm considering buying a 2006 Cayenne Turbo, 27k miles. I've been test driving it for a couple days and I've noticed what sounds like a slight rattle while idling. You can barely hear it when inside the vehicle (and at a standstill), but when I open the hood, it's definitely more pronounced. I have never owned/driven a Porsche before (hell, even a car nearly this fast) so I don't know if this is something that is natural on such a high-powered engine, I don't really know enough about cars internally to even begin to diagnose it (and the engine compartment is so well covered, you can't really even see anything). The sound *appears* to be originating where the black tubes criss-cross (I know how ignorant I must sound!) in the center of the engine area. Is this normal? Thanks!
