New Member! Question Regarding Wheels....

[RUMBLE8]

Hey everyone,

I just picked up a 2004 Cayenne Turbo. I knew about the little quirks these cars can have, gave it some thought, and went through with the purchase. Two things, I have a P0441 code coming on which makes the CEL turn on. I'm currently doing the research in regards to this problem and might blow through the system to find where the vacuum leak is. Gas cap seems to be all good.

Second thing is, my Cayenne came with 22" OEM looking rims. These wheels are the Cayenne turbo wheels, but I've done some research because to my knowledge, Porsche only made the Cayenne turbo wheels in 20", these that I have are 22". Anybody have some knowledge on this? Thanks.

I think you are right in that they were only offered in 20". If they were OEM they would have a Porsche Part # stamped in the back. Do they say on the back on the inside of a spoke any info? Made?

Hey, I know I have an Eisenmann exhaust, but I found this picture and they look exactly like the ones I have. Look to be 22" as well.

Also, jeeze, my nav is saying I don't have the disk, and I am looking into taking out the whole unit itself and putting in a pioneer (had it in my last car and was great with ipod hookup). Also, theres some red fluid under my car from sitting three days.... transmission? so much work to do.

Could be power steering fluid, but most likely torque converter seal gone bed and it's leaking Transmission fluid.

Its also can be coolant fluid, so you, must check if its oil or antifreeze.

Ya, I thought that coolant was usually green? Plus the tubes were changed from plastic to aluminum last year.

[gbratk]

Wheel as I know Porsche coolant is red or pink.

If the tubes where changed because of leaking, there are all possibilities that the torque converter seal gone bad.

[hahnmgh63]

Yes, Porsche, and most newer cars Coolants are the longer life Pink or Reddish color. Do not mix the older green standard coolant. The older Green coolant doesn't last as long and is much more corrosive to Aluminum and other metals in modern cars.

Wow, thanks for the responses everyone. Now, I saw the little amount of reddish fluid when I was parked on a hill for three days. I've been checking it and I don't see any leakage when I parked on a flat road. I'm hoping it's not the coolant tubes because I was told that they were in fact changed.

Also, anyone know the best way to find a vacuum leak on these motors? I have the P0441 code on.
