Divertor valve?
-
This is turning into a guessing game. Have the intake system smoke tested for leaks.
-
There isn't really a switch dedicated as reverse light switch but the circuit is controlled by a module.
-
Are you getting a switched power for the relay on the control side which is terminal #86?
-
WHAT?!? Is this what the OPC told you?
-
Fault codes please.
-
Have the garage go over all connections and make sure nothing was left off and all electrical connections fully seated. Post the faults codes when you have them.
-
I have seen fluid ( gear oil,coolant, etc) be drawn up a harness and in rare cases into the control module.
-
Wasn't there a recall issued for the ignition coils on the V8's?
-
Is there a VW part number on the old pump? It will start with 7L. Maybe one can be sourced via VW.
-
Have you cleared the codes to see if they return?
-
That is really strange how a shorted cell could cause such an odd sequence of events, did you have to have any codes cleared?

2005 CS cannot idle

Sound like the primary (left) fuel pump is failing. As started, you'll need to test the fuel pressure of each pump independently. -
Part Identification

Control solenoid for the variocam. You can replace the seal by just removing the two bolts that retain the cover. -
I always advise torquing the spark plugs to spec.
-
durametric codes
wvicary replied to colinmartin's topic in 9PA, 9PA1 (Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Turbo S)
Check fuse #11 OR 12 in the fuse block located near the brake master cylinder, it power those items. -
Why are you thinking TPS? They are very reliable. You really need to check for fault codes and vacuum leaks.
-
Yes they are. I don't think you can purchase the ball joint separately as it's part of the control arm.
-
1996?
-
Also keep in mind not all synthetics are created equal. You also have to consider ash content and many other factors. Just stick with a recommended oil and you'll be safe.

Being a regulation sized fellow myself ( 6'3" and 365lbs ) I just unbolt the the front stage of the drivers seat and tilt it back for more room under the dash. Not sure if the passenger seat is hinged but it only takes 2 mins to remove the bolts and just slide it back.

Daylight Running Lights on Cayenne Turbo 2003
wvicary replied to darrinsmith's topic in DIY Articles - Cayenne - Mods
You can also turn on the DTRL with a scan tool on the Cayenne. -
Yes

Auxiliary fuel heater
wvicary replied to mbagge01's topic in 9PA, 9PA1 (Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Turbo S)
bigbuzuki has it in one. I've never seen the units in NA ( like the retractable trailer hitch ) and think they are only a Europe thing. I think they had a timer you programmed or a remote for operation. -
Always disconnect the battery when unplugging/plugging in such modules and have the key removed from the ignition. The other module is the vehicle electrical module. The KESSY module isn't nice to remove if you're of a bigger size, I remove the lower wires going to the electrical module then the wiring to the KESSY module and slow tease it from it's home. Takes a bit of mucking about and is a tight fit but it should slip out.
