  1. I put Zimmerman drilled rotors with Hawk HBS dustless pads, they work fine for me and I am about the same as your driving habits. Clean wheels are a great plus

    I have a 2004 Porsche Cayenne S. I was looking to find out what rotors would be best for my Cayenne S. The people told me at the brake shop that the OEM rotors are only about average and that I could do better if I wanted to. I was thinking of these 2 types:

    - Performance Dimpled & Slotted

    - Performance Drilled & Slotted

    I drive fast and brake not too hard or soft. I''d say about average. I also want better rotors than what comes on the Cayenne S to begin with. Plus, I don''t want to spend a fortune. So based on all that, what brands would you recommend? And what type of rotor do you recommend? Also what is the difference between 330mm and 350 mm? What is supposed to be on my vehicle? Any experiences you could share may also be helpful.

    Thank you,

    Todd

    Where can u get those rotors and pads? how much r they?

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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
