    Yeah my thoughts are to do 1 and figure out if it is an 04+ part number, if it is then the remainder will be covered under the 100K warranty extension tsb. If not I will do all 8. Is everyone using the Beru replacements.

    Is this the correct tool http://www.durametric.com/buyus.aspx I am assuming the enthusiast kit will do (will this allow me to clear the service in xxxx miles lights also?). Also, I went back to Orielly's and talked with a kid who new more then the other guy about the ODB reader and he said the best thing to do was to clear all the codes from the wrong plugs which they gave me initially (the v6 plugs vs the dual spark v8 turbo plugs) as basically every cylinder had a problem, then drive down the street and see what if any new codes the new plugs threw. The car runs like 90% better but was still idling a bit rough. After clearing the codes drove for a few miles then turned off and turned back on and check engine light went back on. This time read the codes and it was only two codes which seems to indicate that it is isolated to 1 cylinder: P0302 Cylinder 2 misfire P0342 ignition coil B Now I am assuming the ingition coil B relates to cylinder 2 (are the coils arranged in ABCDE.... sequence). The kid at the store said if I used the wrong plugs and the coil pack was close to going it could have put the "nail in the coffin" for that one. As such based on the above should I order a full set of coil packs or just the coil B? Also is coil B the one for cylinder 2? Thanks, sorry about all the silly questions but just starting out servicing this car ......

    Sorry for the newbie question but how do I read the specific fault codes. The cayenne is a winter car for me, summer is a nissan GTR that I track, tune etc as such very comfortable with the electronics in the Nissan, but the Cayenne is new to me. Do you guys recommend a reader.

    Where can I find the TSB? All TSBs are available for Contributing Membranes to view. How to become a Contributing Member Got it, became a contributing member. I did a DIY for 40K service, plugs, oil, cabin filter, air filter, pads, brake fluid (ATE 200), but never thought to check the coil packs, anyway car now has a code, pulled the code and it is a: P0300 Random Misfire detected (no other codes shown) Do you guys think this is a plug problem or the coil packs. The Engine light didn't come on until after the service. I know the plugs were changed properly because I did them twice (the first time Oriely's accidently gave me the wrong plugs first - the V6 ones). The misfire was prevelant with those but after even with the double headed bosch's I can still detect a slightly rough idle (although 10 times better then the wrong plugs). May require a trip to the stealership.... what are your thoughts. I am the second owner 2006, with 43K. I read about the TSB. Could I call the dealer and try to see if they will cover.

    I have an 06 Turbo and just changed the plugs myself as part of normal 40K maint (car has 43K on it). Idle seems to now be rougher after putting in the new plugs. Could the issue really be the coilpacks instead. Where can I find the TSB?
