    At short notice I managed to get it dropped off at the dealer this morning. They've cleared the errors and reset everything and all appears to be working well. They're going to leave it overnight and confirm tomorrow. I think the errors may have been caused by running winter wheels with TPMS sensors from a later Cayenne which operate at a different frequency. Is that likely? JFP in PA - Thanks for your help. :cheers:

    Does the hard reset need the full Porsche dealer setup or can this be done with a Durametric?
  3. bimjim
    Yes I did check that. They match the sensors which were removed, so that shouldn't be the issue.

    Dealer it is then, hopefully just a reset needed. Thanks for your help.
  5. bimjim
    I've done both now but still no joy.

    I selected the wheel type/size etc., which should start the learning process, as I understand it, but I still only get that message. Is there another way to reset it that I don't know about? I guess the dealer will need to plug it in.

    Hi, I'm having a few issues with my TPMS setup - 2003 Turbo. I've just replaced all four sensors, as suggested by the Porsche dealer, but I'm still getting a 'System Not Active Workshop' warning. I suspect it's the module that will also need replacing. Could someone explain where it is? I've searched and searched but I've not been able to find much detail online. I really wish I'd just had this system disabled. :cursing: Thanks. :help:

    That's good to know. I see they offer reconditioned valve bodies, is that what you got?

    Just to close this one off - The shaft has now replaced and everything runs as it should. It seems any warmer/wetter weather helped lubricate the bearing, which reduced the noise. I guess I was lucky to get it replaced before it went completely. Thanks for all the advice.

    Bingo - It's been diagnosed today, and a new shaft has been ordered. I'll report back next week after it's been installed.

    The problem I've been having with mine (odd noise) is also more pronounced in the morning. I was getting a bit of wobble too. It's being looked over today for suspected drive shaft issues.

    I've now got it booked in to be looked at on Thursday. I'll report back with the diagnosis. Thanks for all your help.
  14. bimjim
    Thanks. I'll take a look tomorrow, the weather's not so good here today. I did just go for a drive and it was much quieter, perhaps the dampness around has helped. The last time I took it out it was cold and dry, today it's warmer and much wetter. I'll report back.

    I'm not 100% sure what that looks like or where it is, but I'll hunt out some pointers on here. Thanks.

    Does it go once everything has warmed up? It's probably a bit more subtle than a dentist's drill, depending on your dentist I guess. My first thought was a turbo. How do they work on these engines? Is there a big one and a small one complimenting each other?
  17. bimjim
    No. Not sure. Yes. Maybe.

    Hello. This is my first post here, despite being a member for a while. I've always found my answers by searching (first Boxster, now Cayenne), but I've not had much luck with this one... My Turbo has started making an odd noise. It's difficult to describe, but it's a bit like a chirping sound. It only seems to be present when lower down the rev range as I pull away. It also goes, or is inaudible, once the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Any ideas? It's done just over 60k miles.
