  1. Hi to everybody,

    I would like to ask you help.

    I am thinking to change the rear bumper on our cayenne S. Car is from 2004.

    Does the bumper from facelift model (2007 +) fit to the old model? As i know the bumper has an upper part, which doesnt fit because of the different shape of the light housing, and the lower part which is in some way covering the exhaust pipes.

    Sorry for my english but i hope somebody will understand what i am talking about.

    Glad for every answer. Thank you. Tom

  2. Great photos - especially of the tube. Since I didn't pull mine out of the firewall, I wasn't certain what sort of seal is on the end. I suspect the end seal is just to keep insects from climbing up the tube, and to keep treated air from rushing out of the tube. It's also easy to see how the end might get displaced from the hole in the firewall, doesn't look like there is much holding it in. Perhaps some trim adhesive when reinstalling it might keep it in place.

    Where it's located under the dash, if someone poked a toe up under the under-dash-panel, they could easily displace the tube...

    I think I'll have to look some more at mine and make sure it's firmly in the firewall hole.

    This is turning out to be a useful thread.. :)

    There is a flap on the end of the tube on engine / firewall side. So nothing should come inside the tube.

  3. Wow. I found the problem. Take out the carpet like described. Now i could see the entire mass. Like a small lake water everywhere.

    First i make this small hole into the plug to let the water go away. I disconnected and take out the ac drain tube to inspect.

    And you are right. Not enough to see if its free. It was not very well connected into the firewall. That caused the water. After putting everything together i ran the car with ac for a while and...... Thanks god water was nicely going to the street outside. I take lots of pics but i dont know how to get it into this page with iphone. Thanks to everybody for helpful advises.

  4. Thank you for the detailed report. Could you please explain an easy way to take away the carpet? I have the same flooding problem in the car. I cleared the ac drain because i thought its the reason. But it was open. Today driving a few miles with ac switch on and again wet like crazy. Makes me really mad this story :-(

    The drain hose itself might be damage and leaking water into the cabin, you must inspect it carefully.

    I inspect it. Take it away from housing. Looking for damages. Nothing. Everything looks fine.

  5. Hello Community,

    maybe somebody here who can help me.

    i am Thomas from Germany. My wifes Cayenne is going to drive me crazy.

    Car was running perfect. just in case and cause i didnt know when spark plugs were changed last time i did this work last weekend.

    changed all plugs and same time replaced all coils. easy DIY work.

    No any further work i did.

    i made a test drive. car was running perfect but engine control light came up.

    i left car on the street and did not drive again because i was affraid. did some research what it could be and found out possible to continue to drive if engine doesnt sound strange.

    wanted to drive the car to garage and........... started but strange behaviour, stottering and dead. started again and same behaviour.

    i left it there.

    next day i checked my work, take out all plags again and replaced.

    testdrive arround the corner. no problem engine running like new but engine control light still on.

    stopped on gas station to take fuel. again the same problem.

    engine starts, runnig for some seconds and ........ dead.

    any idea what it can be.

    could i did something wrong with the spark plug or coil work?

    any anyswer will be a great pleasure.

    thank you, thomas
