That front end is sick!!!!!! wow...

thanks, my cayenne has been lowered with springs not a lowering module. it has xenon lights in it too. ! is lit and service now is on the cluster as well as check headlamp adjustment height. There seems to be a allen key tool that can be used to adjust the heights, i was thinking of giving it a few turns and see if they go any higher. I went to the warning indicator menu on the cluster and it does not explain what the code or fault was besided headlamp heights adjustment.
"!" and service now - afaik means the service interval, so after you change the oil, filters and what is required for your mileage, you need to reset this with a piwis, pst2 or durametric.
and besides that it does it also wrote "headlamp height adjustment" in the fault cluster menu ? if so, I believe that only piwis will help, cause the durametric doesnt has that. maybe it needs to be reset or calibrated. havent hear of something like this before, even for the guys who droped their cars lower than yours with the KW V3. maybe someone who has allready done this can help.
again, what year and engine do you have.
My cayenne is a 2004 with the 4.5L V8 ..S model
does it also wrote "headlamp height adjustment" in the fault cluster menu ?
yes, it says it as soon as i start up the truck. On the cluster..is there a sensor that can be fault that runs the adjusters? I know the lights do go up and down cause when i start the truck the lights come up.

1st you need to provide more infos, like MY of the car, type, how did you lowered the car? springs or lowering module?, Xenon lights or no (OEM headlights), etc.. if you used lowering modules it could be because of this but no one cant tell what is the problem. come up with more infos! thats why most will not come up because you descritpion has low infos. :)
for reading errors you can get durametric. its the best you can get, or lets say it will save your a.. spending money at the dealer service. still, this will not solve all the problems, but most common will be cleared. dont use VAG scanners, only last gen. ones otherwise you will end up reseting the car for starting over the CAN bus.
though, what light is that in your main cluster that is on? is the " ! " lighted? if its that, you can check for faults in your Main Menu of the cluster. it might be a bulb that is not working. if its written Service Now - You need to go to the service for maintainace. this one comes up becuase of the service interval, so that it's telling you that you need to pay a visit to the dealer and change oil, filters, etc. for clearing that you can get Duramtetric, or pay the dealer. again dont use a VAG tool, even if its the latest version doesnt comunicate with the car, so no help for you.
as for adjustments: these cars have height sensors on the wheels hub assembly, front and rear. this will tell how the lights should be up and down. manually you cant do it just like that. for other adjustments you need to pull out the head lamps, I dont advise you to do that if you are not lets say trainned.

quite a few view but no responces..what gives?

hey guys just wondering if anyone can help me with this..My 04 cayenne s has been lower a few inches..Not sure if this would set the headlamp adjustment warning on my cluster. The headlamps do go up and down. Does anyone think that adjusting them manually would work and fix the problem? I also have a service now light..is there a cheap scanner I can buy to check codes?
-
This is my Cayenne S..It's sitting on 22 inch wheels.

Just wondering if anyone ever uses 87 octane fuel in their cayenne? I notice the truck is sluggish when i use the 87 octane but i dont drive it hard when i have low octane fuel in it. Anyone notice a difference in fuel mileage when using low octane fuel?

Can someone give me the Bosch part number for the wipers on a 2004 Cayenne s? front ones of coarse..
-
Can someone post the filling procedure for Cayenne S with tiptronic tranny? thanks...i can't find it anywhere.
-
I had the Cayenne checked out at my buddies tranny shop..They are almost certain it is the shaft seal for the torque converter. It also looks like a simple job for the re and re....will let u guys know how it fairs out in the next few weeks after i get it done..

Has anyone brought their bone stock cayenne S 340 hp to the track?
-
Well last night temps dipped into sub zero's here and the heat takes a long while to get hot..how is the heat in everyonelse's cayenne? my gauge is in a good range but heat is not as hot as a i liked..can i bleed the system by simply removing the coolant cap and letting it over flow?
-
I too had the coolant pipes replaced and still smell coolant once in a while. i can't find a leak. i was told there was coolant under the intake that needed to evaporate? beat's me....my gauge does go upto 3/4 in warm weather but since things have cooled down its almost at half.
-
Best to contact your local dealer with your V.I.N. number and they can tell you if the TSB applies to your vehicle or not. You need to determine if it is indeed the torque convertor seal or if the source of the leak is something else.
Acording to my local dealer there is no TSB issued on this matter...that is why i am asking members here for help.
-
So I got the bulletin today. Is says in earlier models the transmission and torqu converter are to get replaced. Later models call for a shaft seal to be changed. Only refers to US models and US vins. My cayenne in canadian and from what i see its built in april 2003. Given that this just started happening i am assuming its just the seal. Any input on this guys? Shop manual calls for 7-9 hours for te re and re of te tranny.

TSB= Technical Service Bulletin
A TSB was issued in regards to this matter, you have to check with a Porsche dealer.
Is a TSB a recall as well?
From the Glossary at the top right of any page:
TSB Technical Service Bulletin. Porsche issues TSB's for part number changes, installation of options and accessories, approved oils, tires, wheels, etc. Recalls are NOT covered in TSB's.
How do i find out what the bulletin says? I went to my l ocal dealer today and they claim not to know about it. But then again my local dealer is known to be a crook

Hi guys, i just signed onto this forum. I just bought my Cayenne S last month and already started with the issues. Noticed that there was some tranny fluid leaking. Upon inspection today it looks like its coming from the front pump seal. It is dripping out of the treaded hole under the tranny near the bell housing. Has anyone ever experienced this problem? I don't wanna burn a tranny because of low fluid. Does anyone have a write up on how to remove the tranny so i can do the seal? How many hours to re and re these trannies? thanks...Mike
