    it is likely either a leaking coolant tank cap (check the part number - if it ends in 00 then it needs to be replaced) or a cracked coolant tank. There is a DIY in the 996 DIY - Common Fixes section if it turns out to be the tank.

    So is the caster within spec - worn lower control arms can cause all kinds of alignment issues. Front wheel camber is adjusted by moving the (top) spring strut transversely. Just loosen the three fastening nuts on the spring-strut mount and, for the purpose of movement, remove the covering cap on the piston rod. Then move the whole top of the strut assembly until you have proper camber.

    This should explain you problem...

    I sent you a PM...

    A PST2 could re-program your DME (so that would repair any program errors) - but I doubt that is the problem. I would look to see that all the electrical connections at the DME are clean and tight. (I split this topic off from the Diagnostic tool registry thread - it belongs here.)

    Congrats and :welcome:

    I have not heard of anyone cutting the PSE resonator out. The PSE sounds very good as it is - especially if you leave it open all the time.

    Try 4875 or 4873

    A MY2006 Cayenne uses: 955.618.040.10 control unit coupling The plug kit is correct for all years.

    Probably as long as you can make a mounting for them. Some of us have gone the other route and installed Griots air horns. They are very small and at least 3 times louder than the stock horns.
  12. Loren
    As I recall the screws in the kit are self tapping - so little or no need to pre-drill. Just mark the spots and drive them through (or if you must pre-drill then use a very small drill bit).

    You will likely have to cut or break the old grille out. The new part gets put in from the back side and just snaps into place. What RFM is saying above is you might be able to put it in without removing the bumper (which is about a 90 minute job).

    Find a reputable (Porsche) shop in the area and get a PPI. Dealer extended warranty plans vary from state to state (because of state insurance laws) - so you will need to ask where you live. The only way to get a Porsche CPO warranty is to buy from a Porsche dealer. Hope that helps some...

    No flames needed... just look them up in the Glossary of Technical Terms here. :D

    I am not trying to dis the shop - I just don't understand why they would not look at the simple more routine cause of that type of problem (which is a dirty throttle valve and ICV). IMHO - changing the DME would be a last resort.
  17. Loren
    I would still start by cleaning the throttle body and idle control valve. That remove them as a variable. A new DME is about $1500.
  18. Loren
    The tranny is a 6 speed C/2 Then start by cleaning the throttle body and idle control valve.
  19. Loren
    The size is correct - but the most important spec is the wheel offset... which you did not state. It should be printed near the valve stem.
  20. Loren
    We just checked his VIN - it is a X50. :D

    Please scan/read this thread as getting the serial number to display is described a few pages back. How about... cr210 R3297 V5008293 Thanks Much...Long trip home without music Try 5416 or 5414

    Your VIN does me no good - I need the serial number of your radio.
  24. Loren
    One more time - You need to find a shop or Porsche dealer(OPC) with a PIWIS and ask them to program it for you.
  25. Loren
    Since you have to replace every battery in about 4-5 years I see no need to purchase an expensive one. You just need a "good" one.
