    Can you describe the sound of the carrier bearing you started to hear and where it was coming from in the cabin area. I have a video clip, maybe you could listen and let me know if it is the same. Thanks
  2. orthotist
    I hear it the loudest and clearest at the very back part of the armrest section going straight down from there. It just seems to me that the wine / squeal should vary in pitch with the driveshaft if it was the bearing. The sounds stays fairly constant. Can I send you the video I recorded via email?
  3. orthotist
    When There is less load through the throttle it is slightly louder and under deceleration.
  4. orthotist
    It sounds like it is coming from under the console area. It's fainter at slower speeds like (5mph) and gets very high pitched around 30-50mph. Are there any mechanisms under the shifter area that could cause such a sound or other fans motors in that area. It also sounds like a chirpish tea kettle.
  5. orthotist
    I took a video of the sound but either it's too big to upload or I don't know how to do it. FYI, the blower fan has already been replace a while back. It only has 59,000 miles on it.The sounds happens with blower motor on or off though.

    I have a 06 CTT and I noticed that I hear a high pitch tea kettle sound while driving. It starts around 50mph and up but seams to stop once brakes are appalled. It sounds like it comes from inside the cabin around the middle area (hard to tell). I placed it in neutral while driving and no change, so I'm not thinking drive line area. Doesn't change pitch when I rev the engine and only seems to start once the engine is warm or car itself is warm. Any ideas what it could be? I did replace only the front brake pads last weekend, fyi.

    I just read this the other day but it tells you how to wash the engine in the owners manual. I would have never thought it would mention that but it's in there.

    I did test the actuator with a battery buy touching it quickly on the prongs and it pumped in and out so, I leaning as to what you said above. Thanks as always!
  9. orthotist
    Anyone have any ideas? I have checked the fuses under the hood and both left and right sides on the dash. The switched out the actuator and still same effect (the actuator will lock the fuel door but not unlock, with the door lock or remote). Tricky!
  10. orthotist
    You can check youtube if you haven't already.
  11. orthotist
    Sounds like it could be an a/c issue?

    Mine is a 2006 cayenne turbo if it matters.
  13. orthotist
    There are no switches to open my fuel door as you have listed in picture #2. Mine only unlocks with the remote or door unlock. I problem is that the actuator isn't pulling the metal rod back to allow the fuel door to pop open once you push in on it. When I lock it, everything works fine. I have to do the emergency pull for the actuator to move on both the old and the new parts.
  14. orthotist
    Found out that the door does not unlock the actuator neither but will lock it as the remote does.
  15. orthotist
    So I remove my old fuel door actuator (pin) because the unlock button on the remote would only lock door but on not unlock it. I replaced it with new one and will be doing a DIY on it also. The same problem is still happening with the new part. Why would the electrical current only seem to have the actuator move in one direction only? Thanks in advance!
  16. orthotist
    Got the part, now I nee help on removing the CD changer to get to it. Any advice? I will do a DIY for the fuel door actuator once I get going with it. Thanks in advance!
  17. orthotist
    I have a 2006 Cayenne Turbo and am needing the part number for the fuel door actuator. It will lock the fuel door easily but will not unlock with remote or door switch thus I am unable to pop the door out. I have to use the emergency pull band to unlock it every time it's Gas time. Thanks,

    Cayenne Turbo Battery Removal DIY These are the steps I took to change out my very heavy Battery. I have seen this done on a VW on YouTube but I wanted to start giving my two cents since I'm a newbie at this. I hope this helps someone else. 1. Hook up a battery charger to keep a flow of current to the electronics. Memory loss otherwise. 2.This is what I purchased from AutoZone. about $190 for the battery with some felt pads, grease and the triple square bits. 3. Move the front drivers set back and fin Author orthotist Category Cayenne (9PA, 9PA1) - Maintenance Submitted 10/24/2013 07:03 PM Updated 03/23/2017 07:23 AM

    For your car: 350 mm fronts 330 mm rears Perfect, thank you.
  20. orthotist
    So I see 18ZL on left front and L on left rear. I see 18ZR on right front and R on right rear. I didn't 17 on the rears anywhere and I get the whole L and R on the calipers but I'm trying to find out if the MM because I haven't seen any 18" rotors listed as 457.2MM. Maybe I just have no clue what the hell I am doing, LOL. When searching to purchase some rotors the sites talk about 330mm, 350mm, 380mm. Just trying to make sure I order the correct sizes. Thanks
  21. orthotist
    So, is that like 350mm for front and 330mm for rear or maybe something else?
  22. orthotist
    That VIN has the following options factory installed: I1KZ -- Rear disc brakes - disc diameter 17 inches, brake caliper painted red I1LM -- Front disc brake - disc diameter 18 inches, brake caliper painted red

    These are the steps I took to change out my very heavy Battery. I have seen this done on a VW on YouTube but I wanted to start giving my two cents since I'm a newbie at this. I hope this helps someone else. 1. Hook up a battery charger to keep a flow of current to the electronics. Memory loss otherwise. 2.This is what I purchased from AutoZone. about $190 for the battery with some felt pads, grease and the triple square bits. 3. Move the front drivers set back and find the two triple square bolts that need to be removed. They could be under two plastic inserts that can be lifted out with a flat small screw driver which you with see the same for the back. I used a 1/2" ratchet wrench on the triple square bit (TSB) size 10. Here is the back. 4. Lift front of seat back and you will remove plastic section in front and then the plastic tabs to show the two bolts for seat frame. There are 4 total and all can be removed at this angle. 5. Remove seat frame bracket. 6. Cut zip tie off of clip. 7. This is what you should see now. Remove the Torx nut on vent size 25. 8. Remove vent and flip back carpet to show the other 2 metal clamps. 9. Unhook metal clamps x4 and remove lid. 10. This is what you should see now. Loosen the terminal to get to bracket screw. Loosen the other terminal to get to the battery hold down bolt and remove the acid leak hose out of the side. there are 4 things total to loosen with a 10mm socket. 11. Throw a little Terminal rub on post with felt pads. 12. Clean Terminal cables with brush. Attach cables back on and Done! Reverse to don everything back together. Tools I used are also shown.
