  1. So the MPG rating that reads out on the radio isnt all that accurate?

    It is not accurate on my Cayenne.  I have the correct tire size from the factory and the cluster still shows a higher MPG than actual.  Try doing the math yourself after you fill up your gas tank and see if it is accurate for you.  I would like to know if others experience an inaccurate MPG figure on their cluster.

  2. I often purchase vehicles from auctions relying on pictures alone.  I have been looking for a Turbo S for myself.  I know how to determine if the Cayenne is a Turbo or non-Turbo by looking at the 5th digit of the VIN.  Is there a way to determine if a Cayenne is a standard Turbo or Turbo S by looking at the VIN as well?  I was thinking that possibly the Turbo S's were only manufactured at a particular plant, or they may have been dedicated to a certain block of VINs that are grouped together by the last 5 digits.  Buying vehicles relying on pictures alone has become a bit disappointing, as some people will put badges on vehicles that don't belong on there.  I would hate to purchase a Turbo, thinking it is a Turbo S, just because someone put an "S" badge after the "Turbo" badge on the rear hatch.

  3. I believe my explanation caused a little misinterpretation.  The blower motor seems to work fine.  Here is a picture of what I would like to test.  This is the electric motor that constantly keeps moving back and forth.  Or maybe someone can simply say, "Yes, if it is moving back and forth it is indeed broke."  My reasoning for not automatically replacing it is that I am not sure if this is the actual problem, or if it works fine and just receiving an incorrect signal from something else that may be bad.

  4. Let me start by saying I'm not a mechanic, so I do not know the names of certain parts.  This is of a 2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo w/ 4-Zone Climate

     

    However, what I do know is, the A/C electric motor (955.624.915.01) under passenger side dash is steadily going back and forth regardless of A/C or Heat On/Off, High Low, Dash,Floor, Etc.  It connects to a flap on the passenger side firewall.  Pictures are of the same part, just different angles.

     

    My question is this.  How do I test this electric motor to determine if it is bad?  Or could something else be bad causing the motor to constantly move?  Any response will be appreciated.

  5. CTEK Comfort Indicator Panel Installation in Cayenne w/images


    Here is how I installed my CTEK Comfort Indicator Panel.  I decided to install it under the driver's side dash for convenience, aesthetics, and to prevent possible damage if I were to forget it was plugged in.  There are two different lengths of this type of plug; one is 4.9', the other is 10.8'.  I installed the 10.8' cord because I wanted more options of where I could install it.   In this mod, I used the following: Small Flat Screwdriver T-20 Torx Driver 6mm, 8mm & 10mm Sockets w/ Ra

     

  6. I have a chance to buy a used FVD ECU, but I know nothing about it.  Will anyone clue me in to what I am looking at here?

    I am aware of what it does, but I am not aware of the compatibility to my vehicle.  These are my questions:

     

    Keep in mind this unit is a older unit that plugs into the vehicle permanently, and is not software installed through the OBDII by a flash tool.

     

    Are these units married to a single VIN?

    Are they plug and play?

    Would it have came with a flash tool (cable/scanner) to make adjustments parameters myself?

     

    Any other info that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

  7. The following link describes the above part number as #6 in their diagram, a different part than what I am looking for.

    What I am looking for is plastic and about 3 feet wide spanning the width of the front bumper.  It looks very similar to the picture above.  It is possible the piece I am referring comes attached to the front bumper cover when purchased from a dealer.  The reason why I thought this piece was not included with the front bumper cover is because I see them for sale for other model years.  Thanks again for your time.

  8. I am having difficulty finding a part number for the plastic center "brace or support" that is mounted to the front bumper cover of a 2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo.  It is mounted out of sight directly behind, and to, the bumper cover.  The top of this piece wraps around the top of the bumper cover and helps secure it and the bumper cover to the radiator support.  I included a picture of an 07-09 piece I am referring to.  Again, I am looking for the part number for this piece to fit a 2004 Cayenne Turbo.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.
