  1. Hi Hope someone might have some advice?
    A year ago I replaced my gear linkage with the Stomski Racing product which has worked perfectly up until yesterday. The car has a relatively low mileage at 110k miles so I don't thinks its the gear box.The car only gets driven about once a month, and when I got into it yesterday I couldn't get reverse. After a bit of fiddling I got reverse and got out of the garage. When up to speed on the open road I found I couldn't get fifth gear either, although 1st to 4th were all fine. So I suspect that the linkage needs a little adjustment? Any advice as to what needs to done here?
    thanks bill

    Hi folks,

     

    So I have a 2011 Cayenne S.  I took it on a road trip in July and did over 6000kms pulling my 19ft travel trailer.  No issues pulling it at all, quite the opposite.  The pig performed like a champ!  Now I'm home and commuting back and forth to work and I start hearing a sporadic whining noise.  Sounds like gear/tranny/transfer case noise.  it comes and goes.  there is no grinding sounds or anything like that just a whining.  I'm wondering if she burned through some fluid during her hauling roadtrip?  Would low fluid levels cause whining?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    I would be changing the TC fluid, its cheap and simple to carry out. There are others on earlier threads regarding TC problems who say the problems of whinning was resolved with new fluid. I now change mine every 30k km.. However, take care placing the drain and fill plugs not to overtighten because I have followed tightening torques and still managed to overtighten!

  3. A note of caution!!

    I have recently changed my TC fluid for the second time. The first time there were no problems and as others have said, its all pretty simple. However, despite following  the correct tightening torque on drain plug, it was overtightened causing a hair line crack in collar around screw hole. It seemed as though the red sealant that coats the new replacement plug acted like a lubricant and plug was continuing to go in without much resistance.  I managed to salvage the situation for now, by unwinding the drain nut a few turns and leak stopped. Although it hasn't dripped again now for a few weeks of normal running, I imagine it may be a big problem the next time I go to replace flu id.

    I would stick with the Porsche approved brands - too many horror stories when alternatives are used.

    JFP might be able to add something with his experiences too.

    Thanks for your response, but was wondering whether there are "Porsche approved brands" apart from its own labelled product of ATF for the 958 Cayenne since Porsche has approved a range of engine oils for different models, and in the case of the 996tt, a Shell and a Fuchs ATF?

  5. thanks again Richard that's very helpful.

    I did try to google availability and I didn't spot that particular supplier and will call them tomorrow. However when I went directly to Fuchs Australia they advised that they ceased importing the stuff three years ago

  6. Hi Wondering if anyone has advice on alternative ATF products for a 2003 996tt ATF change, other than the Porsche brand. The OPC here in Australia charge $50 per Litre for ATF and Fuchs Titan 3353 (which Pelican Parts say is an OEM supplier to Porsche), is no longer available.

    Loren, if you have a Durametric or IcarScan tool you can read the transmission oil temperature directly with them. I believe that's how a dealer would do it..

    The Durametric  will read transmission temp in the older 955 models but not the 958 model. I have done an ATF change on my 2011 958 Diesel and couldn't get it to work.  It was confirmed by Durametric  that the facility is not available on the newer model

    Thanks guys for the helpful info! Getting ready to purchase the front rotors and pads for our 13 Cayenne diesel,sourced from Sunset Porsche for $529. After reading this thread I'll also purchase those pins for $32. Thanks guys,keep up the great forum!

    when I did my front discs and pads I found the pins somewhat redundant if you have another pair of hands to help. Although the front calipers are big suckers, it was easy to hold the caliper clear of the disc for the few minutes its takes un screw and replace rotor. I also found that it was unnecessary to replace the clips holding the pads, if you just 'unclip and replace' one pad at a time, the clip just stays in place. that bit also can be done in a couple minutes.

  9. I have a 2003TT where the 'parking assist' and 'anti-dazzle' on the rear view mirror have stopped working. when I look at my fuse map the fuse locations are not listed. Can anybody tell me the location of these fuses?

    You must have really good filters down under!

    According to the maintenance checklist I have for my 2013 US Cayenne Diesel, the fuel filter is required to be changed at the following intervals:

    Intermediate Maintenance 20,000, 60,000, 100,000, 140,000 miles etc. / 30,000, 90,000, 150,000, 210,000 km etc.

    Maintenance Checklist 40,000, 80,000, 120,000, 160,000 miles etc. / 60,000, 120,000, 180,000, 240,000 km etc.

     

    thanks it is in my maintenance booklet, must be going blind!

    Do they unlock with the drivers door handle (assuming keyless entry on the vehicle)?

     

    And have you checked the rear-seat child interlock button on the drivers window control panel?

    my cayenne doesnt have keyless entry and have checked that the 'child lock' is not on. The rear doors failed to open a few weeks apart, so it did look fuses, but have checked the fuses and they were fine.

    any other ideas would be gratefully received

  12. The workshop manual states the following in connection with the battery change:

    If the battery is replaced, both numbers (serial number and part number)must be entered in the gateway control unit under:

    Gateway/Maintenance, repairs/Change battery

     

    Can anybody  tell me what this means? Do you have to code something into the electronics of the vehicle when you change the battery?
