Driven by curiosity. I'm an engineer and like to plot data. I'm curious if trends more to location, age, mileage, CS vs CTT, etc

Did they fail? Or this a preventative measure?

I think its a great idea. I'd love to hear how it goes!

I haven't seen anything like this. I'm collecting data on coolant pipe failure and tracking it. This stems from my own curiousity but maybe it will show some good results. I have the same thread on 6speed at http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/cayenne/251205-coolant-pipe-data-points-please-contribute.html It doesn't matter - Post here or there

Please include Model, Model year, date of failure, mileage at failure, and location

Thanks!

Honestly I think if you drive carefully (like you stated above) you will be fine. Those numbers are there for the general public who just get in and go. However I wouldn't share this with the dealer, etc if you have still have a warranty

def try another ipod

No

I could care less what people next to me think. I know i'm in a porsche and thats all that matters.

I got this one too. I never got an answer either on which attorneys were "official". Anyone know?

does the website www.cayenneclassaction.com supercede this letter? Who knows the latest/greatest status of this lawsuit?

There is a class action lawsuit against Porsche North America because of these coolant pipes. It can be checked out at the www.CayenneClassAction.com I think. Its only active in 3 states right now but the more the word gets out the more they won't be able to hide from this. These coolant pipes should have been a recal so spread the word to all Cayenne owners!

I don't have this is my CS but I do hear it in my A4. It sounds like coolant gurgling, I wouldn't worry about it

I couldn't get a thing out of them. They seemed totally clear. Which is why I'm confused about this thread topic...what are these particular drains for? I'm trying to clear whatever drain is causing water to dump in my driver's side footwell when the AC is running on hot days

xsrfs, I know what you mean. The Vagcom software for Audi & VW's is ten times the product that Durametric is and it even costs less. The Durametric cable looks like a Vagcom copy but the software isn't up to Vagcom performance. Hopefully someday it will catch up.

Really? This is my first porsche and when I bought it I assumed there had to be vagcom equivalent. I'm shocked tbh. How do you diagnose these things then?

I hope this info shows up on here. Please post if you find yourself. The only thing i'm digging up for this is kg/hour

I know audi MAFs (g/s) like the back of my hand but not much for porsches.

I'm in US. I'm interested this too

check for anything in the track preventing it from closing?

I'm definitely going to check other drains as s preventative measure.

Regarding my issue, it only happens when the AC is on and comes out on the driver side by the gas pedal

I have the tiptronic system which works perfectly and the car drives perfectly in auto transmission mode but when I use the lever in manual mode to shift gear, there is often a very loud click - particularly on the downshift. It is definitely coming from the console area under the shifter. I have looked under it and can find nothing which might cause interference. Anybody have any ideas what might be causing it?

PKN

A service rep at a dealer once told me that a solenoid/valve or something is a typical failure on these transmissions and can cause hard shifting. I don't know, mayeb this is it? Sorry, all I got

Can someone clarify this thread? I'm confused. I have the same issue on my 04 CS Driver's side. I called dealer to ask and they said its the AC drains and is accessed from under vehicle. I assumed its the rubber nipple-like drain so i ran a coat hanger up there and got nothing.

What is the drain mentioned above regarding the engine bay/firewall? Everywhere I look I get a different story.

TIA!

I have an 05 CS with PCM (2.0 i think, its CD) I have this SIM tray.

Where are you guys using the VIN to see the options?

They don't appear to have anything

...i see results in the search but a lot of the results are old. I'm looking for the current best options. Thanks.

Do you have a link to this product? I'm interested in this product and the installation process as well.

I'm looking for a good way to hook up my ipod/iphone with the PCM in my 04 CS. I'm not having any luck finding a good product. What can you guys suggest?

What year/interior? Mine is the sand beige and is that rubberized feel. Does yours?

I touched up some interior spots in my audi in a similar manner you talk about but it was smooth plastic, not rubberized.

yes, please provide the paint you used. Thanks

I read something today about the wiring orientation of that battery. It was somewhere in this Cayenne forum in a thread about constant dead batteries. It said something along the lines of that battery is only used for starting an engages at the command of the ECM.

Your idea sounds ok to me but I wanted to throw this out there.
