The OEM number for my front brake pad sensors is 95561236561, but I cannot see any difference with 95561236560

Are these the same products or how do they differ? Everything looks the same and the catalogue says both fit.

Just in case I removed the Kessy Control unit, checked the resistance of the 6 resistors and everything is fine there.
So ordered the 2 keyless antennas for the Touareg today, will let you guys know if everything works once they arrive.

Thanks for the prompt reply Loren. Looks like I wil be needing the 955 647 102 00 outer antennas.

I checked around and it looks like the Touareg and Phateon uses the same antennas. VW pn 3D0909133E, they come slightly cheaper.

Happy new year gents,

My rear hatch kessy access stopped working, the PIWIS scan tool showed faults in the kessy antennas which are under the rear bumper.

Would anyone be able to give me part numbers please, its a 2008, 957 Cayenne Turbo.

Thanks!

Oops, looks like I posted this one in the wrong section. Perhaps the mods can move it over pls.

One pipe is damaged in my AC system, and because of this there is a GAS leak and the AC is not working.

The original part number is 95557372201

Perhaps there is any cheaper alternative? Can this pipe be made by some other company?

The drivers side door lock on my 957 TT is not giving contact anymore. The mechanical part functions well, the door opens and closes. The problem is when I open the door the interior light does not go on. Porsche service said that I can get locked out.

They advised to replace the Front Door lock part no: 95553101508 together with the door lock rivet 90825801

The question is perhaps it is possible to repair this lock? What to check for.

My wheels are just getting repaired and repainted and we had to remove the pressure sensors and valve stems. Thinking if it's a good idea to place the old valve stems back?

The valve stems have a gasket, they do look fine but I am afraid that they might leak when used again? Has anyone had any experience with this.

Still thinking how to get this thing out...

Thanks. I did try to open the cupholder and push it upwards, but dont really see that it will come out like that.

Hi Loren,

It's a 2008 cayenne turbo.

Thanks for the tip. Waiting for some quotes from indy shops will go from there.

Got it.
What is the recommended oil for the 2008 Cayenne Turbo gearbox?

I have received a quote from the dealer which looks OK.

I did find other independent repair shops who offer "dynamic" gearbox oil changes, they have a special machine which flushes all the old oil out completely, versus the oil changes the dealer does which leaves some old oil in. Any thoughts?

My CTT (2008) is at 93 000km and I am thinking to take it to the dealer for the gearbox oil change. As reading this thread, you guys reckon I should use the Toyota IV oil instead of the porsche approved oil because of the cheaper price?

What do you guys mean by violent downshifts? Shouldn't it be that way ona 500HP truck?

When I want to overpass someone and floor my CTT (2008), when the gear goes down It feels like you been hit with a hammer. But I always though that is normal, as when I dont floor it I dont get that feeling.

Did you have to purge any air as well?

It's an option. The S can have it as well, the easiest way to find out is to look at the switches for differentials and suspension. If the surrounding is black you dont have PDCC if it's silver then there should be a sign PDCC as well.

Why did you replace the tank anyway?

Allrighty folks, thought I write a small follow up on this topic.

In the end I ordered the part 955 552 160 01 7BA

My truck has the Aluminum package with Steel Grey interior trim.

Here is the issue, the replacement part is with a different colour. Old part on the back and new part in the front, the second problem is that the new part has two holes for the power outlets opposed to the old one with one.

As I allready had the part and couldn't return it anymore I went ahead and took the power outlet off my old cover and placed it in the new one.

In the end I just replaced my Steel grey interior cover with the new one, by pushing out the two rods which hold the hinges. Pretty easy to do IMO, just be careful not to loose the "springs" which are in the hinges.

Now I need to find the second outlet to fill the empty hole..

Anyhow, be sure to mention that you have 1 or 2 outlets, as I do not remember if I mentionet that whilst ordering the part and go the one with two holes.

I got the Textar brakes because as I understood porsche OEM brakes are also made by Textar. So should be almost as OEM quality, and they are pretty expensive..

The change was done by a local porsche service. I didnt do it myself...

Thanks for the instructions. Think I will skip this one tho, too much hassle and having a second thought I think it will be a mission to get the bicycles up on the roof.

I had the same question with my cayenne. It has the OEM analogue tuner installed, but now they have moved over to Digital in my country...as far as I found there is no simple way. You can try and install a third party digital tuner, but that will require pulling the IR eye somewhere in the dash for the separate digital tuner remote to work. 

In the end I decided not to deal with it, the PCM screen is too small anyway to watch TV.

Got a problem on my 2008 cayenne turbo..
I replaced my OEM rotors and pads which were done to Brembo rotors and Textar pads, they were fine couple of first days but now squeak loudly just before stopping the car. This is getting pretty annoying, I have already tried going faster then usual and breaking heavily, but they still squeak. Perhaps there might of been an installation error, and the pads are not secured c
