My father called our local Porsche dealership here in the UK this morning to check the part number given above for the Cayenne S. They said this is a rubber joiner hose with no branches off of it (which makes sense as there is no additional feed required with no turbo). They also said they havent had any Cayenne S's in with this as a problem. The cracked 'T' piece issue seems to be a Cayenne Turbo issue. They dont keep this rubber joiner in stock as they never need it. The main coolant pipes however they keep a stock of at all times which I think tells a story in itself. If I get time after work tonight I will fire the car up and see if the problem has been resolved with the new metal hoses.

I addressed this tonight and there are no T pieces at all on the Cayenne S - at least not on my one. There are obviously 3 rubber hoses connected to the main coolant lines across the top of the block. One simply goes to the coolant filler and the other 2 disappear down below where they join METAL pipes which run all the way to the interior which I assume are the internal heater feed and return. These hoses disappear towards the passenger side but remember im in the UK so RHD.

This was a failure in my case - thats the only reason I discovered about this common problem. 70k miles on a 2004 Cayenne S.

I did the main coolant pipes on my fathers cayenne s this weekend and was going to put the intake manifold back together tonight however I have had a nagging feeling that the leak was from elsewhere, namely because I couldnt find any sign of major damage to the plastic coolant pipes. They are now all changed for ally but I'm sure the big escape of coolant came from elsewhere so after reading this thread it looks like the T piece. Do you aim for this from the top of the engine bay or from under the car? I havent put the intake back on yet so this should give me a little more room. I'm going to get the part ordered from porsche.

Is there a special procedure to bleeding the cayenne coolant system. Some cars I find are simple (my 500sl is a doddle) but others are a paint to get the air out (many bmw's). I'm starting this job tomorrow and it doesnt look too challenging at all thanks to this guide. Im used to building engines and so on so I think this should be ok.

I will be starting this job tomorrow on my fathers 04 Cayenne S. Just bought the whole replacement kit from Porsche UK.
