  1. It usually starts with a prolonged activation of the starter motor before the engine will running, but a faulty sensor itself should log an error code.
  2. Why not try an transmission oil change first, it might be a cheap solution.
  3. Gentlemen, i think there's a misunderstanding here. Cayenne 2004 use an indirect fuel injection (only LOW pressure), Loren's example is a direct fuel injection system (use High and LOW pressure in the same system) with temp. sensor on the low pressure side by the earlier Cayenne DFI. and programmed inside the DME on later Cayenne DFI. I would try with a PIWIS to be sure.
  4. This is a normal phenomenon, by the length of the exhaust, the rear end cools too much down at cold outside temperatures, the hot exhaust gases condense and forms water vapor. In case of a blown head gasket for example, there would also be vapor formation at temperatures higher than 50 F.
  5. Schaltgerat fur ID9L (V8 Cayenne) >> LA 81706 955.325.03900 i think this would be the right part # for your car.
  6. http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/33595-2006-cayenne-turbo-s-firing-order/?hl=%2Bfiring+%2Border+%2Bcayenne there you go.
  7. Try a reboot, remove both cables from the battery (+ and -) and connect them with each other by a jumper cable for several minutes. Reconnect them and do the re-train procedure over again, also keep the radio code on hand.
  8. http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/25455-little-foam-pieces/?hl=%2Bfoam+%2Bout+%2Bvents Here you can certainly do something about it.
  9. From me a happy, carefree and safe New year to you all.
  10. The screens are optional on European cars, i guess the same for US cars.
  11. I would try a reprogramming of the door control boxes with a PIWIS tool, they dare become confused every now and than.
  12. Do you have alreade pull off the buttons? If not pull/squeeze them off from the switches, but beware of the possition of the small springs and beads between the buttons and the switches.
  13. Yes you can use an alternator with freewheel pulley instead of a solid without any technical adjustment.
  14. The pump serves, to after turning off the engine, while there sit still people in the car, to make use of the temporary residual heat from the cooling system. The pump is probably broken and some parts of it blocks the circuit.
  15. Or a stuck valve lifter on cyl. 5, ( only for variocam+ engines ), lifter remains in the full lift possition.
  16. I would even consider, let check the AC system wheter there is enough refrigerant in the system.
  17. It is normal that the engine would not rev above 4000 RPM in P and N, it's a safety system which intervenes on unloaded motor. Let the error read and post them, without codes it's still guessing.
  18. There is about 10 Km/6 miles normally driving at 3.000 RPM required with an outside temperature of 15° C/60° F to get the engine oil temperature at 90°C/195° F. which is the definition of a hot engine. This i have repeatedly determined by measuring.
  19. It is essential to note the error codes, which undoubtedly exist because the "check engine" light comes on, without faultcodes it stil a guess and can be expensive.
  20. Most is not really a module, it is a kind of a light (sender) and a light sensitive sensor (receiver) both housed inside the PCM unit. In other words, the system begins and ends inside the PCM.
  21. I would also like to see the letter, very interesting topic.
  22. Are all of the yellow connectors, under and on de backside of the seat, removed and the wiring soldered? If yes, check the battery, load tested etc. A lesser battery gets all sorts of weird symptoms, including airbag faults.
  23. Use the dipstick on the engine in order to measure the oil level, this is the only right way to go. The sensor is just a warning, because your Cayenne does not have a full oil check system feature such as the flat six engines as 986/87 - 996/97 - etc. use. Top up to full mark if the level came just below half full (between low and full mark) Mobil 1 "High Mileage" we do not know over here, so i can not provide guidance about it.
  24. Given the misfires on cylinders 1 - 2 and 3, could be that you've hit the wires or sensors when replacing the alternator, which is indeed on the same cylinder bank. You never know.
