    Can someone tell me how to find/access the wiper fluid pump on a 2005 base model or point me to the right thread. Thanks

    I have a V-6 Cayenne and I am tired of replacing horns and this Pepper is out of warranty. I have Hella horns I want to install. I bought them from Griot's and it looks straight forward. After looking over the hardware, I see Porsche has a proprietary plug that fits into the horns. Of course the Hella's do not. Can I assume it is as simple as cutting off the stock horns, making up new connectiions from the brown and purple stock wires and connecting the Hella's? I got the mounting part down. It's the wiring I want to make certain of. Thanks!

    Was that install a DIY or did you pay someone to do it? Obviously the boost guage does not work, but were you able to get everything else to work?

    Hey Sid, I have a 2005 V6 that came with 17" OEM's...after a year I could not stand it anymore...I had a little extra cash and my dealer just took 20" sport Techno's off another customers Cayenne they were upgrading. I was lucky to get a little off the price...WOW what a visual difference. As far as ride, yes its slightly stiffer. I was also worried about weight, but the brakes seem to feel better and acceleration does not seem to be any different. Overall I am very pleased. PS- I did ALOT of on-line research and ended up feeling better about staying with OEM. Maybe it's being overly cautious, but my family rides/drives the pepper...many wheels may be made by the same manufacturer and distributed under different names, but mine say "Porsche"... Good enough for me. Good Luck

    Got detailed instructions on this? I did not know you could defeat the error message...
  9. CJack
    Of course they make the non turbo front end look more like the turbo... NOW! <_< I agree on the rear...anyone say "X5?" :rolleyes:
  10. CJack
    Marco...how about some pictures of this beast? Looking at the mods...you should be busting with pride...SHOW IT OFF :thumbup:
  11. CJack
    Anyone (Loren) know the part number for this piece? Or better yet any suggestions on how to "fix" it? :cursing:
  12. CJack
    Can you post pictures? I'm liking the price tag :D Say what about the dreaded vibration you hear about :huh: I live in Texas so I'm not too concerned about ice, snow, and lately rain :angry:
  13. CJack
    WE are now in luck...NR Auto says they should have something out very soon...e-mail them for specifics :clapping:
  14. CJack
    Glad to hear you got it fixed...SAD to hear one has to go to that kind of length to ensure it gets fixed. What happened to.."WE accept responsibility"? :angry: Keep us informed if it reverts back.
  15. CJack
    Sorry I did not ask for clarification on the OEM part number. I assumed it was the clear LED unit...I was asking for my wife...as my Cayenne rolled up from the service bay and I had to get going. :drive: CJack

    Hey Speed if you are still deciding...the 2006 V6 has an improved throttle response over earlier models. claudior is right on, you can't tell the difference between it and a C-S :D
  17. CJack
    Well the price is $20 higher than the dealer! :eek: If I heard my parts guy he said $75 for a new one, $125 for the earlier models. If you already purchased one, did you get it installed? CJack
  18. CJack
    Find another dealer if you can for another opinion...I just took my 05 V6 in for service and inquired about the lack of punch from a stop in my year model. They were upfront with me and I was told they could remap the tranny but it would probably revert back to its current state...Why? Because of my driving habits. Now that being said, I got an 06 base as a loaner...GREAT throttle response...I thought it had more horses, but Porsche said the 06's throttles were improved...this puppy was as peppy as a C-S... :thumbup:
  19. CJack
    Looking at the threads/posts it looks like we may be out of luck...Looks like the CS and CT silver bezels are a part of the cluster to begin with. :unsure: BUT anyone out there know of an aftermarket fix for us V6'ers? ANYONE? :)
  20. CJack
    Trying to do due diligence on wheel research. In the bit I have done, I narrowed it down to a nice set of Victor Turismo's for the Pepper. Seems like very nice wheels for a very nice price! From all the threads, in different forums, from various sites its all about wieght, TUV ratings, etc. And it all points to OEM being the "best" yet these Victor's are made "for" P cars. So has anyone purchased these? Any comments on quality, performance? CJack :drive OK now I have heard in another forum that these wheels are not "hub centric"...Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

    The 3 for 3 would seem best...that way they get to watch/play what they want individually. I just got one youngster and I too thought that 1-the factory headrest units were bulbus, 2-agreed about $125 would be the value if taken out, and 3- I have had several folks tell me the fate of these units being yanked out by car burglars... SO, given the above and that fact that kids will be kids and LCD screens may fail the liquid test, I opted for a Polaroid Simplicity DVD player w/wireless headset...not a bad little machine considering it was only $120 and matches the black/aluminium interior perfectly. Mounted it to the middle armrest with a velcro strap and now we can just pop it out and take it with us rahter than someone doing that for us. (NO not visually the best fit and finish with the velcro...but the whole package looks like it goes with the SUV) Baby is happy for now...

    3K...Lovely...Anyone know of a aftermarket fix?

    Hey I love my six. Sure I'd really like a Turbo, maybe even just an S...but I've spread the $$$ out with the purchase of a Boxster too...(Working on the C4 next.) Truthfully though, it's not that bad in the 6- it's a Tipper. Sure I have to downshift to get 'er going, but its really not that bad considering the weight of the beast. Most of the time it's in auto and I get through traffic fine. Now, I had the oppourtunity to REALLY drive the 8 in a demo my dealer was doing for clients. Numerous fast starts, sharp, cornering and hard braking. OK sure there is more pep and it (The S) has that throaty sound, but for the price difference, with options (and depending on your needs) you could still get a great SUV, pretty darn equal to it's big brothers, and have some change left over for a good down payment on another P car. MY simple advice...drive them both and depending on your driving habits/needs and bank account...go from there... Best Regards, CJack

    Sorry if this has been asked before in any other RennTech Forums, but...think this will work just as well on a 6 cylinder? On the surface I do not see any major differences...And did someone say about $1500-1800 for the cluster?
  25. CJack
    Its rather easy i did it to my cayenne with the new PIAA XTREME WHITE BULBS. remove all front hex screws on the inside wheel well reach in and turn counter-clockwise and the bulb socket will come right out. Thats it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What PIAA XTREME'S did you use for the fogs- H11's?
