  1. I just had the coolant pipes fixed on my 2004 CS The mess from the leaky coolant pipes was pretty bad, but not as bad as some photos I have seen. Based on photos they took of my car, they did an excellent job of cleaning everything up and installing the new aluminum pipes. While they were at it, I changed the starter, spark plugs, coils, ignition coil, water pump, drive belt, thermostat, air filters, and the right cornering light was burnt out. When they put it back together, the end result is the car runs very poorly. No pickup, what little acceleration is left is not smooth, and the RPMs surge up and down around 250 rpm at idle. Furthermore the gas mileage has gone through the floor (estimate 5 or 6 per gallon). I hear a ticking sound that was not present when the car is idling with the hood open. Prior to the repair (cost $2700 on top $650 worth of parts that I supplied) the car drove very nicely - with NONE of the above mentioned problems. The check engine light is not on. I have driven the car around 100 miles since the repair and consumed an entire tank of gas in the process. Before taking it back to the mechanic (had to make another appointment) I would like to glean some insight about what they could have possibly screwed up the car so badly. Any comments welcome!
  2. You guys are great. This forum has described the fixes for every single strange hard to pinpoint problem I have encountered on my cayenne s. Rough idle, starter noise, etc. I will contribue 5% of the money you saved me after I total up my pending coolant leak, starter, fuel filter, spark plug service!!! If you are ever in Milwaukee, the drinks are on me.
