Hello,

Can anyone recommend some kind of a scanner so that I can check and diagnose codes and clear dumb errors without taking it into the dealer or shop?

Thanks.

Enzo,

Problem with mine was "pinching" between plastic cover and the seatbelt assembly, likely happened due to warped shape and changes as the vehicle aged. Fiddle and reshape the plastic cover to see if it helps.

I fixed my problem by pulling the half crescent cover outwards.

Does anyone know if this applies to us Canadians?

Thanks.

Hello Forums,

My 05 Cayenne S's Front RIght seatbelt is not retracting. I need to manually feed it back.

Also, it clicks when I feed it back in.

Does anyone have any ideas on a fix?

Thanks.

Christopher.

Ran into this problem today. Saw this post. Will be trying to take out the rear door tomorrow.

On another note; How DO I remove the rivets on the door panel? I've gotten as far as removing the door trim but still can't figure out the rivets... if there's an easier way than drilling or hammering, I'm all ears...

For anyone still having this problem and needs a photo guide. Sorry for reviving the old topic.

1. Location of the middle plug (Back and Front are easy to find):

2. Location of front and middle plugs

3. What they look like up close

4. Size

Hello Forums,

Just got the Brake Pad Workshop light on. Does anyone know how much distance is left before I -really- need to change my pads and rotors? I am stopping by Oregon in 2 weeks and want to pick up parts there (200$ cheaper than in Vancouver, Canada).

2 Other questions:

1. How do I measure the brakes myself?

2. How do I tell if I should replace the rotors?

Thanks.

Chris.

Hello Forums,

Just wondering how difficult is the Cayenne S Spark Plug + Coil Pack change on the Cayennes S 2005? I've been thinking about doing this myself and saving a little cash.

I have misplaced my service manual. If this might be something I can do myself, and someone doesn't mind sending me the relevant pages, I'd very much appreciate it!

Cheers,

Hello Forums,

I have 2 issues.

1. One of my doors stopped locking. You can open the door from the outside anytime, but you can't open it from the inside. Does anyone know what I might need to fix here without having to take it into a dealer? Before it completely died, locking causes the door lock to 'Whir".

2. My "beep on lock" stopped working. When I lock the car, the horns don't beep any more. The settings are set to on. Blown fuse? Dead horns? Regular horns work fine when pushed on the wheel.

Thanks for your help!

Hi forums,

I have 2 problems.

1. My rear left door lock (driver side) will no longer open. I think it needs replaced. Does anyone know the parts number and the cheapest place to get it?

2. I have airbag fault 1218. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I saw the TSB but it covers up to 04, but wondering if it covers 05?

Thanks!

@Loren - I have no idea what Kessy is... lol

@wvicary - Yes.

Anyone?

Hello!

I have a Cayenne S 05' needing Coilpack and Starters changed. Does anyone know the parts numbers to these parts?

Thanks!

I've got the Bi-Xenon headlights. I'm assuming I just replace the Xenon bulbs? (One is flickering, one is not)

Hi folks,

I'm trying to figure out which bulbs are the dipped beam ones? There are 5 bulbs in the assembly and I am not sure if I should replace the large halogen or not?

can someone tell me which one it is / the rating?

Thanks.

Hello Forums,

I`ve found a guide for the rear gate strut replacement, but were wondering if there were one for just the window? My back window is no longer staying up by itself.

Thanks!

Hi Fourms,

My rear left door stopped unlocking properly when I unlock all doors. I was able to unlock the door by unlocking with handle from the inside.

Using the key, the door still locks. It simply does not unlock.

Would anyone be able to tell me how I can figure out exactly what the problem is?

Thanks!

Hi,

Should I replace all 8? Or just the ones causing misfires?

Thanks!

Cayenne S 2005. If there's a guide, it would be great! :D

Hello,

I'm getting some misfires on 3 and 5. Starters seem fine so I've narrowed it down to coil packs. Does anyone know if there's a guide on how to change them? Is this something that can be undertaken by an amateur?

Thanks!

Chris.

Really? What is the point of an "emergency override" if you can't unlock it after you overrode it? :|

Just wondering what do you use to jack your car up to check the bottom?

Thanks!

Hi Fourms,

My rear left door stopped unlocking properly when I unlock all doors. I was able to unlock the door by unlocking with handle from the inside.

For safety, I decided to manually override the lock. I locked the door by taking off the manual override cap and pushing the lock in. Then closed the door.

Problem is now, I can't unlocking the door inside or outside.

Can someone tell me how I can open the door?

Thanks!

Sorry for reviving an old topic. Does anyone have instructions on how to perform this fix?

Thanks!

Hello forums!

I have a few scratches on my Cayenne S and I'd like to see if I can use some paint pens to fix it up gently rather than go through elaborate sanding and fixing.

My question is - Is there any way to specifically find the color of your car? I have the color code guides as a Contrib. Member but it's not exactly the easiest to match the paint on a screen to the car.

For reference, it's a light steel color with a gray / blue tint.

Thanks!
