    ...so far so good...great traction in the dry. Awesome actually. no rain yet. Looks great, is quiet and translates power into acceleration with great grip well.

    I have been reading a lot about which tires to put on next. With the existing ones wearing out, I found myself being more 'trigger happy' on the gas pedal through turns, etc. This, in my mind, was getting me closer to a new set of tires. Through research and views of those who have had them before, I decided on the Vredestein Sessanta tires. Stock size 275/45/19. Thought about going one size up in width (285) but in the end decided against. Would be good either way. The stock size looks a little bit fatter than the old tires I had on there (michelin Latitude sports). Have only got a few miles with these, but I can really tell less tire noise while driving (even when old ones were great condition). Have not been testing grip yet, but I am sure it will come down to that soon (lol) - with the F1 coming to Austin in a few weeks, I am sure we will have tons of people day dreaming on highways here). Here are some pics...

    Hi. I did that in the dying section. ~67k on Odo. Fluid looked almost black, looking closely had some greenish tinge. Appeared very thin in consistency (almost like water). Take a look at the write up that show pics - in dying section - maintenance section, named rear diff fluid change.

    Cayenne Rear Differential Fluid Change I found that this was a really easy maintenance item to do. With taking pictures and being slow, I did it in about 30 minutes (much easier than an oil change on this car). You will need approx. 1.4 Quart of fluid to replace what comes out of the car. I placed comments and steps in each picture. Pics are numbered in steps, and annotated with comments when needed. Thanks and hope this will help others.

    OK. I did the rear differential today (will be doing the front soon). Posting the DIY info for all those who have been asking questions. Thanks.
  8. ciaka
    This is a pic from the rear of the car (looking towards the front). Can you confirm that this is the rear differential, and #2 is the drain plug, and #1 is the fill plug 1 - fill plug 2 - drain plug Want to confirm before doing the job. Thank you yet again.
  9. ciaka
    buy turbo ...better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it.
  10. ciaka
    Yup. I plan to have little clearance and already have a volunteer key that will be cut.
  11. ciaka
    check on that one. I was just thinking the same thing yesterday night: 'what if - i cannot open the fill plug'...lol. I was also going to pull it to verify the level that the diff. was filled to. I assume it will be to the bottom of fill hole (as in many cars is the case). In case the level is lower than that, I assume having more oil is not going to hurt the diff. So I will put in: - Synthetic Mobil 1 75W90 LS into rear and front Differentials Still a question: - will this fluid be fine for Transfer case: CLICK HERE ...it is available at advance auto parts and O'Reily auto parts, so I would not have to go out of the way to get some. Thanks for help.

    I thought I would compile this information especially for those new to the forum and Porsche Cayenne, to make it easier to have the info needed. Hope it helps. If anyone notices mistakes, please let me know and I will correct asap (got this info from service manuals).
  13. ciaka
    I've been looking at this type of info and i think i will go with the synthetic mobil 1 75W90 fluid. It is for limited slip, hence the LS in the name. It does have friction modifiers in it. I have been reading from other users who went the mobil way and were fine. Just wanted to post as a sanity check. I assume you just undo drain plug, let it all come out, put drain plug back in, open fill plug and top up until drips when car level? Then close fill plug and done. Anything else i am missing here? Thanks.

    Getting ready to do fluid change on the front and rear differentials on my 05 CTT and just wanted to get final advice on fluid. Have been searching and found that changing with Mobil 1 synthetic 75W90 gear oil would be good. Just wanted to run by as last sanity checkbefore I get going. Will greatly appreciate this last minute confirmation. If you can also give me pointers on location of the drain plugsd on the front and rear, it would be great (will look up in manual too but if you already know the location and can share thee info it would be awesome). Thanks.

    I did this one a little while ago, but never had time to get these organized into a tutorial for others. Here it is. Comments are in each pic, for each step to do. Each picture is numbered in the order to be done. Hope this will help you make the replacement easier (especially if you are new to doing such work).

    Thanks psychobenzrunner. Again. Funny, was researching more on oil quality, manufacturing process, dealer service shops, and everything that ties these together. You know what common thread I see? Quality of oil has dramatically increased, so have choices. However auto industry did studies which showed that if auto owner stays with old (3000 mile) service interval, over the life of the car, the companies making them see an additional profit if $1800 per car. Multiply that over millions of cars and what our have is a thriving revenue without any other justification than trying to keep people uneducated about this. Info i came across talks about how lube shops specifically employ tactics to make customers think something 'may' go wrong if you do not change at 3K miles. People are stuck in the old ways.

    sorry...lol...keep forgetting.. 2005 cayenne turbo

    Anyone? Anyone?

    I need part number of the fasteners that hold the trim piece (dark plastic going down bottom side of front door, on outside). You can see the trim when you open the front door, then look down on outside of door opening, where bottom of door meets the chassis of car. There is a small plastic piece, dark, which is heldby white plastic fasteners (inside of the trim). If you pull the trim and twist up a bit, you can see the fasteners (I need the part number for those white fasteners). See pic.

    Lol... I get you, but for a porsche look, you will have to spend some porsche $$$. But lookz like you resolved your issue to your liking anyway. Thats what counts.

    Good job molitoth. If you have no errors thrown, the light will go off after drivinv for a few minutes (sensors report to control units which adjust warning lights - takes time). Those who have durametric, just reset the lights to get same result. Great to see you have yours fixed.

Remove 2 screws with socket 5.5mm. This removes the closing cover to the filter compartment. 5. Remove filter compartment cover. 6. Using flat blade screwdriver, gently pull down on side to slide filter out of the housing. NOTE: OBSERVE AIR FLOW ON OLD FILTER - so you can place new filter in same direction. 6a. Inspect moisture collection point and blow out with compressed air as maintenance (remove any contaminants that could block water drip, which could otherwise result in wet spots in this area). 7. Place new filter back in, close and secure filter housing cover (make sure the seal on housing does not slide behind new filter as you insert it). Close the main cover and secure with the torx screw. DONE. Hope this helps you out. *** EDIT*** - I was gone for a while and all my pics had been removed from my tutorials. Regardless how it happened, here they are.

    hi mike. thank you for your explanation on the oil service interval reminder. this is the type of stuff I always wondered about on this car. I am an engineer too, and I always like to know how things work and why, rather than just accepting that they do. it is nice to know to find out exactly how the oil serviceice reminder works on the cayenne, and what makes it appear sooner or later. thanks and I'll let you know when to change oil again I will be trying the castrol edge brand next. Tires coming next, followed by trannie fluid, and diff fluid changes too.

    noticed that and what I intended to write was 5w40 (guess mind doesnt click as fast these days). Corrected it. Thanks.
