    Yesterday driving home from my holidays in france. On the way i already feel the car doesnt have that much power. I thought maybe the very high outside temp could be one reason. Max speed which i got 240. thats a joke for a Turbo S. When i had the warning on my display to take fuel i know there are many kilometers i can drive on the last liters. But what happend here i never saw before. The display is showing the remaining km you can drive until your tank is empty. I noticed that this number went down within some minutes from 90 to 40 km very fast. Even i was driving very careful during this short period. Never could be the car used that much petrol in some few minutes. I paniked almost because highway and no station so far. I take next exit and luckily found a gas station. I was thinking what was this. Some problems with the gauge. Some problems with fuel pumps?

    You can open. Take away the black plastic caps. Down you will find camshaft adjuster. Have a look: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Porsche-Cayenne/40-ENGINE-Valve_Cover_Gasket_Replacement/40-ENGINE-Valve_Cover_Gasket_Replacement.htm

    Rado.... Please take the advice of the guys writing to you serious. This codes which you have and the problems your car is showing you cant solve by yourself. To serious. To difficult.

    There is no warnimg for the reservoir. Sometimes only if you have to top of water regular its a sign maybe. Turbo alternators are watercooled. Thats why
  8. ekstroemtj
    I forgot the water pump

    Hi There is a lot more which can fail. Isnt neccessary that you get stranded but maybe is causing you headache. Just from my experience and what happend to me in the last 5 years with driving different cayennes. Some things you mention already. There are few more to the list. Not only the big plastic coolent tubes can fail, there are some small ones under the intake manifold which get bad after years. Happend to me. You cant continue to drive. Cardan shaft is failing. Usually you feel it and you hear it when trouble is starting. I would check it. Coolent reservoir. Exploision of the reservoir is a problem which happens to many guys here. Water inside the car from glogged sunroof drain holes. Causing strange electrical problems. I had permanent PSM failures which sending the car to limp mode. Possible to drive but slowly. Check the forum for posts " wet floor" Do some checking with your alternator. I had a failing one close to my home. Thanks god. Isnt neccessary all this things will happen to you but be prepared it can be.

    lewis......... about the scanning tool try iCarsoft for Porsche. it helped me a lot with scanning and finding codes. Its not durametric of course but for basic things more than enough

    Here is the pic. Part no. 5 on the picture down
  13. ekstroemtj
    I have one which is making me trouble sometimes. The panels get stuck here and there and when driving with open roof a little bit faster i didnt work at all after. I needed to close manual with emergency tool. I need to check the wind deflector now. Its not open proper on my old Turbo. I found a helpful document. I made a screen shot and would like to ask what and where is this part no. 5 on the last picture down. Thank you in advance
  14. ekstroemtj
    I dont know how difficult to do this. I read many times here a lot of guys did it as DIY. Will report
  15. ekstroemtj
    New hose. Dont know why pics are rotate
  16. ekstroemtj
    I could not solve the problem. Solution bought a hose. 2 m. Connect it to the reservoir in the sunroof. Routing like the original. Just on the dash board i go down passing the fuse panel to the floor. Carpet still wet. Will see how i can route it under the carpet.

    Sorry maybe my mistake. We talk about the bank on drivers side. Bank no. 2. Cylinder no. 5 was the first problem. Now on the same bank cylinder no. 7
  18. ekstroemtj
    Old post but would like to refresh. My driver side power window still working but it makes some squeaking noises. Any idea?
  19. ekstroemtj
    Not that i dont trust mechanics but today i checked what they did and surprise surprise. The changed the spark plug gasket and valve cover gasket because i had oil in coil tunnel for cylinder 5. i take away the engine cover and take out all coils. What i found? Oil in coil tunnel number 7. AMATEURS or what should i say. Car is going back to service straight away.
  20. ekstroemtj
    Found answer. O ring must be. Thank you
  21. ekstroemtj
    Stupid question maybe... Do i need a new seal when i am drainibg this oil from this intercooler hose?
  22. ekstroemtj
    You are a very brave and handy person!!! Congrats. The problem would just be how to find the right gasket/ seal
  23. ekstroemtj
    I will try to get access to the MAFs . Thank your for advice how to do. the boost pressure sensor im a cleaning regular. This is always Improving driving and shifting. Looks like i have oil in the air stream. Need further reserch
  24. ekstroemtj
    Thank you for answering. If i try the dipstick or the oil fill cap there is a different idle. The MAF i have to try. Difficult to get them out
