    Don’t get it. Sorry. What does it mean. Thank you

    When did you you take out your coils last time? There is a gasket under the valve cover for the spark plugs. This is becoming very brittle over time. Oil is flowing to the tunnel where the coils are. This could cause a smell when engine hot.

    @lewisweller makes sense Lewis.id it’s like this I can’t do anything against. But still don’t know how burned oil is resulting in a smell inside the car. Wondering because i didn’t have it one year ago

    Smell of..... i experienced already for some time a strange smell inside the cabin when I drive the car hard. Its not exhaust, it’s not gasoline. I guess it’s a kind of fume which is flowing through the hose crankcase ventilation system. A mixture of hot air and oil. I believe it could be this kind smell of air which is sucked into the intake to get burned in the engine.i hope i could describe it so somebody could point me to a possible cause. Thank you.

    Feel very sorry to hear this. Very bad luck. wondering you didn’t hear anything during test drive. Surprised it happens so suddenly. No extreme driving, no extreme driving. Maybe they have used a extremely heavy oil to push down the knocking noise when u had your test drive. which engine is it? How many miles?
  6. ekstroemtj
    Maybe the colour of the plugs has something to do with my oil consumption which is pretty high when I am pushing the car.
  7. ekstroemtj
    Changed the plugs after 18.000 km. Any opinion about the condition?
  8. ekstroemtj
    Yes if you have a garage maybe really a good advice. Specially this turbo engines getting so hot
  9. ekstroemtj
    As some remember maybe I had continuous fault codes with the camshaft sensor/ actuator. Timing on one bank not like it must be. I changed the sensors on the backside of the bank with no result. I was very close now to change the magnetic sensor in the front. Today I unwrapped all the isolation material. What i found very common already with my engine. Everywhere briggle and broken wires. Everybody with continuous faut codes should really check the wiring in the engine room. Now after 10 year almost everything in a very bad condition.
  10. ekstroemtj
    Since how many miles / km you are running with this "problems"?
  11. ekstroemtj
    Just a sidenote from my side. i was / I am facing same issues already long time. Same as described above. Water pump changed, thermostat changed. Still the same. Thats why I recommend to do a professional refill of coolant. This engine is well known for keeping some air pockets and only vacuum refill can solve this. IMO
  12. ekstroemtj
    Great !!!!!!
  13. ekstroemtj
    Cool. In the US they care about customers. Here in their home country the don't.
  14. ekstroemtj
    I am having this too. Without overfilling the level. Its only at the drivers side. I believe its coming from the turbo in my case
  15. ekstroemtj
    My regards to belgium. No there is no leak. No spots, no fuel smell. Yes thats amazing consumption. But its real. I have to add this old Cayenne has a scored cylinder no. 6. Already 4 years. Was always running with noises but usual consumption of 13 /14 liter per 100 km. its still running good. Not like new but almost ok. No crazy smoke.
  16. ekstroemtj
    Temperatur range which is totally normal. No reason to worry
  17. ekstroemtj
    I am going to prepare my old S for sale. My son was driving with the car from time to time just not to have the problem with a empty battery. He told me some weeks ago the cars fuel consumption is crazy high. Today i drive a litte bit an really the consumption is very very high. Approximately 45 liter / 100 km. This is crazy. What could happend here? Any idea?
  18. ekstroemtj
    Yes you are right Mark. I will keep it for a while and try to improve the technical status and performance without spending thousands. At least a try. we just have now IAA in Frankfurt. We went there to see whats new. The Cayenne looks nice. Inside already like a space shuttle. Lots of high tech . The backside from the car is nice. Front looks like Macan. But the price. OMG
  19. ekstroemtj
    Top! Good feeling to drive with confidence right?! The car looks nice with the wheels!
  20. ekstroemtj
    Hi! Yes its a good feeling to have solved the problem. I hope will last for some time. But there are always some other things to do as you know. My brake discs in the front are going to the end. The sway bar bushings making noises... i feel pity to sell the car after all the time and money i spend. What i know for shure is that i will sell my old CS with the knocking engine. The new Cayenne looks very good but: i will not spent 110.000 EUR for a car. Definitely not
  21. ekstroemtj
    Repaired but i found it really difficult to fix this. To place this spring on the right place. Very tight everthing. Cleared codes and testdrive. Everything ok. I am again suprised how different the shifting is working without a boost or vacuum leak
  22. ekstroemtj
    Mark knows the german highways yes you can run very fast there but now lots of road construction and holiday traffic. I will repair on weekend and make a test drive
  23. ekstroemtj
    Reason found. The clip which is fixing the small metal boost hose with the turbo housing became loose. Hose wasnt fitted very tight than. Big leak.
  24. ekstroemtj
    Check the wiring. I had several wires with bad and briggle isolation. When it gets very hot the wiring is very soft and maybe they touch each other and problems occure.
  25. ekstroemtj
    Part should be right but its quiet expensive . here they are available for half
