  1. Same issue here. There are two level sensors that are supposed to detect when the vehicle is tilted with the front higher than the rear and then that causes the headlights to dip so they are not shining in someone's eyes. sounds like a feature I coudl almost do without?!? Replaceing the sensors is not cheap. Like you, my last service call I had one replaced and then the symptom returned so does that mean the other sensor needs to be replaced or the sensors are not the problem at all?! One thing that seems to trigger erratic behavior is stomping on the brakes and causing the front end to dive -- then I get the beams dipping and the sensor going off. I was coming to a stoplight once and the beams started dipping and then coming back up and dipping again - cycling back and forth - and I felt sorry for the poor guy stopped in front of me. He must have wondered about the whacko behind him giving him a light show!!!
  2. Periodically I get a "Dipped Beam Sensor" warning on my dash. At these times, the light beams seem to be dipping when they don't need to be dipping. Once, and only once, the beams were going up and down like a drunk. Most of the time, I will hit the brakes and the beams will dip and the dipped beam warning will come on. Do I have a flaky sensor? How and when are these things supposed to work? What exactly does the sensor sense? I think I've already replaced one of these sensors. Am I correct in that there are two - one on each side?
  3. I just hit 58,500 on my 2005 Cayenne S and got a warning "Brake Pads Workshop". I plan to take it in for 60,000 mile service soon. Do I need to change the Brake Fluid? Is this a normal part of a brake pad replacement? On my other high performance sports cars, when I did the brake pads, I would typically either turn the rotors (on the vehicle) or replace the rotors. What do you guys recommend on this beast? - CharlieS
