    I guess there are all the obvious questions - Did you add the right amount of oil? Did you use the right filter? etc. If you are sure the oil change was done right then you may want to contact your dealer. TSB = Technical Service Bulletin. The TSB says it affects MY01 TT but if your car is an early build MY02 it could be included. The problem (according to the TSB) is that a check valve in the oil tank is sticking closed and preventing oil from getting to the engine. If it is that problem then the car should not be driven. If your dealer asks the TSB is: 3/00 1728 Lack of Oil Pressure on Start Up (dated 7-27-00).

    Is it only at start up? If so, then there is a TSB for this.

    I would start here (see pic) Then I would check the door edge seal, then - that the window is sealing at the top.

    It should be very similar to the RoW M030 DIY found here. The torque settings don't change because of different suspension components - same as a stock suspension.

    Removing the instrument panel is covered in the Cayenne service manual - and is 9 pages long. Plus upon re-installing the instrument panel needs to be re-aligned to the front windshield and sides (another 3 pages).

    996.641.980.26.70C fits a MY01 6 speed 2WD - US car (not Canadian car).

    I think Tool Pants posted a pic of that somewhere but I can't find it right now...

    Everyone says the Wurth Silver followed by the Wurth Clear Coat is the way to go. Have a look at NasaracerPete's DIY repair here

    I sent you a PM...

    I do not understand how your car can run with a stutter and stall and not throw a fault code. If there is any misfire in these engines they will throw a pending fault code(s) that, even though it does not turn the CEL on it is recorded in the DME and can be read with the Porsche test tools. The three things I've heard of that could cause this problem (on a new car) are: DME cable not fully connected (happened to me), a bad DME, or fuel pump that is intermittently not holding pressure.
  11. Loren
    Nope, the blue tool fits the B&M shifter. Before the blue tool existed Tool Pants and I used the orange tool to check the cable alignment -before- we removed the original shifter. Then you mark or count the threads on each cable to the end (when properly aligned). When you install the B&M you put the cables in the exact same (aligned) spots.

    IMHO... it will depend on your history. Number of previous RMS failures and/or related problems.

    It is not "officially" a PCM2 - it is more like a PCM1.5. It was only produced for the MY02 cars before they went to the MOST/PCM2.
  15. Loren
    996 642 944 00 EWD will only fit MY02. In MY03 the PCM2 was introduced and it is very different. PCM2 communicates via a fiber optic network called MOST. If your car is a MY03 then you will want PCM2.

    I do not know of any TSBs for the accelerator pedal but I have heard of them getting dirty and giving "poor feel". I think the design changed a couple of times from 2000 to 2003 (for eGas cars) so if you replace it I think you will get the new design. Check with the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer cost) about which pedal assembly will fit your car and pricing.

    For what model year car? US/Canada or RoW? Do want just the unit or the whole install kit?
  19. Loren
    Could be the intermediate shaft seal too...
  20. Loren
    Do you mean like this: 1. Carefully apply a plastic spatula at the four points between the air vent and dashboard and pry out the air vent. 2. Press the electrical plug connection and pull off the plug.

    For a MY02 Carrera: 996.610.217.04 INDICATION STICKER -- retail $11.93 (as of January 2006)

    Just the read the install TSB - there is a parts list on the first page. TSB 3/99 9415 Litronic Retrofit Kit (dated 11-11-02)

    Unfortunately, you don't know how long (or how hard) the car was driven but the fact that 1 quart brought it to full would suggest that it was just barely below the minimum. It is hard for me to believe a good Porsche dealer would deliver a car with low oil level - even used. I would keep an eye on the oil level as most cars that still in the break-in period (and your car is) will use a little oil.

    Jeff, I didn't change my coolant or thermostat. I caught the coolant, filtered it and then put it back in. Flushing and refilling the cooling system on these cars is a real pain. Once the whole system is filled with air instead of coolant the air is almost impossible to get out. Porsche recommends and I've seen other shops use a vacuum draw method where they create a vacuum on the system and draw the new coolant in. That seems to be the only way to get an air free system after draining all the coolant. If you are just doing the 3rd radiator and the coolant color looks good then I would just do what I did. Refill only the small portion that will be lost in the hose changes and the additional capacity of the 3rd radiator - then use the built in bleed valve. If you really want to change the thermostat it can likely be done the same way - without draining all the coolant. If I were going to flush/change all the coolant then I would try to find a coolant vacuum system to borrow or a shop that will do it for you. Just my 2 cents...
