    Consider the RoW Sport Suspension (M030). That kit will lower 20 mm in the front and 10 mm in the rear. Kits can be had for around $1000 but you will need to install it and get an alignment also.

    236 - 18" tires 09991 - means that one or more options on your car are part of the Porsche Exclusive Option program. That means that the parts specially (usually hand made) for your car. Replacement of many Exclusive options takes more time as the parts usually have to be re-made. In some cases Porsche requires a VIN number before building exclusive replacement parts.

    Yes they are in and behind the front bumper. For a DIY see my 3rd radiator install - the part about removing the front bumper and cleaning the radiators -- here.
  4. Loren
    Great job! I moved this to the permanent Cayenne DIY - Accessories section.
  5. Loren
    You put the code in when it prompts (as I recall). The code goes in as stars (*). Also, try 4520 or 4418. My little program doesn't work on all the older radios...

    X76 - Flared rocker panels or Inner door sill guard (it is listed both ways) 226 - are you sure it isn't 236 - 18" tires 762 - sorry?

    The Wurth Silver wheel paint followed by the Wurth Clear coat has worked well for most.
  8. Loren
    Model Year please?

    You do not have to remove the dash to replace those pieces. The defroster pieces are know to break the plastic clips when they are replaced. I think the sun causes the plastic to become brittle there. It is best to buy a few spares before doing the replacement.
  10. Loren
    I think your first thought is likely correct -- sounds like a wheel bearing.
  11. Loren
    That is a good idea. :D A small problem is that recently Duarametric put a three car limit on the their standard software (Enthusiast Package). Their "Professional Kit" version is still unlimited. So only folks with the Professional version should offer to run the Durametric Software on other's cars. I have a PST2, PIWIS, Durametric Software, and Car Code OBD-2 software. I now have access to PIWIS 2 also. I am in Roseville California (near Sacramento). We will likely start a "Work on Cars Day" in our area soon - similar to what Jeff (Tool Pants) and I did in the San Francisco Bay area. I moved this thread to the Diagnostics, Tips and Tools Forum and pinned it at the top. Please feel free to add to this thread of have have one of these tools and are willing to help your fellow Porsche enthusiasts!

    No, not at an oil change but a transmission oil change. Porsche says 90,000 miles in their recommended maintenance. You can find more Maintenance Schedules info here.

    A Porsche "Workshop Campaign" is not a recall. It is a Porsche (voluntary) campaign to fix a number of minor issues in a number of cars. Sometime these are VIN specific and sometimes they are not. These are voluntary on your part also. You do not have to go in and have these items fixed/upgraded to current production levels... although I do not know why you wouldn't. These are general tasks that should be performed on any car (as specified in the bulletin) at the next opportune service. In the TSB section you will see a number of bulletins with the number beginning with "W" - these are all Workshop Campaigns. For example the 996 had 8 workshop campaign bulletins and the Cayenne had 19.

    Porsche had a retrofit kit for the 986 and 996 complete with instructions - I have not see a kit like that for the 987 or 997 yet. I am not saying it can't be done but you would likely need to get each individual part.
  16. Loren
    Do you have a pic? Also, we will need the color.
  17. Loren
    Yes.
  18. Loren
    I sent you a PM...
  19. Loren
    Incredible! What a bunch of idiots - with that attitude you could end up owning the dealership. Hope it all works out for you
  20. Loren
    Do you mean like the Becker aftermarket connector wiring here?
  21. Loren
    Try 4522
  22. Loren
    Micro-encapsulated means the bolts have a sealant on the threads that once used they can not be reused. You should always replace these type of bolts whenever they have been removed.

    Look in section 0-3 pages 14-16 in the OBD II DME 7.8 manual.
  25. Loren
    Yes, it could be a worn regulator - but you usually (but not always) have other window problems too.
