    Is the car already tested on a shock absorber (suspension) test machine? Excessive play on suspension and steering components ? Rims and tyres, condition, dimensions and brand is also a point to look at. Must be something.
  2. RFM
    C2 and C4 are two different cars in drive ability (handling) maintenance and price, a test drive should give convince. I would go for a MY 06 or younger, if i was you, and walk (run) away from a MY 05. Just my opinion.
  3. RFM
    997 series 1 with M97 engine use approx. the same oil pump and pressure as the latest 996, the 997 series 2 with MA101/102 DFI engine use a "demand-controlled oil pump" depending on the input for engine speed, load, engine oil temp. etc. the oil pressure control valve possition is defined using a map in the DME. The phenomenon you describes is possible if the car is a series 2.

    A new window regulator should help you out, instructions are on the board, please use the search function.

    It is possible that during the first year or two, the filter element is sold on exclusivity by Porsche, then the filter will be sold by the manufacturer as well, which is not uncommon on Europe.
  6. RFM
    The oil filter and housing have different dimensions on DFI engines (MY08), the earlier tool is no longer useful. A universal rubber strap or open key can help you out.
  7. RFM
    Most of the window related rattles, in the conditions as you describes, be caused by worn out window mechanism parts (cables).
  8. RFM
    The glove box issue was a warranty item approx. two years ago.
  9. RFM
    Before you remove the bumper take a look behind the right headlight (remove the headlight), in some cases the filler neck is not proper fit in to the water tank, at the same time you can check the right headlight washer for leaks through the open room between the light carrier and the bumper.
  10. RFM
    Weird, the fiber optic (MOST) recognise (or not) the complete PCM unit and not a part of it.
  11. RFM
    All wheel sensors including MY 04 are inductive (classic), from MY 05 Porsche use a different system on the sport cars (the same system as Cayenne)
  12. RFM
    Replacement of the electric part (ignition switch) can solve your problem in most cases. The switch is located on the rear of the steering lock.
  13. RFM
    Looks not original, Porsche use in principle, always full plastic tubes. Looks like someone messed up and broke the original tube, take a look if you can find some scrap just behind the intake manifold.
  14. RFM
    Perhaps a not according to the specifications implemented alignment ? I would recheck a 4 wheel alignment, with FULL fuel tank, in a real good shop.
  15. RFM
    ROW (Europe) use only one bank for diagnostics at those years. You did a good read.
  16. RFM
    No, the tube is definitely not the cause, mostly the tank is the culprit, sometimes the cap. If you install a new tank, renew the blue cap with the latest part # to be up dated.
  17. RFM
    The DME is on his rich threshold for both banks, which means engine runs too lean, an air leak belongs to the possibility's. A good diagnostic tool should give more in formations.
  18. RFM
    It is the overflow tube, the tube go's straight downwards and is connected on the rear engine crosses, if the attach is no longer present (90 % is missing) use a tire wrap or something similar.
  19. RFM
    The PCM unit with or without phone is the same (in Europe), you need some electric wiring + connectors, antenna + wiring, phone control box, optical wiring + connectors and PIWIS diagnostic tool. Labour time is approx. 5 hours for qualified P. mechanic. Your parrot alternative looks much cheaper for the same result.
  20. RFM
    I could be wrong, but i do not trust the cylinder bank 1 (right side) efficiency, given the different exhaust color left and right and the excessive oil consumption. Let check the compression and do a cyl. leak test to be sure.
  21. RFM
    I would also search in the direction of the purge flow, due the P0441 fault code, to start with. Do an oil change with approved oil (0W - 40 or 5W - 50) as Dennis suggest, you never know.
  22. RFM
    Mentioning the engine type would be a help, assumption the engine is a V8, cyl.4 is on the right side against the fire wall.
  23. RFM
    1 Fault codes are crucial. 2 Parked Cayenne's, for two weeks or more without battery maintainer or disconnected battery, are always a pain for the battery. 3 No idea, i never do that. 4 Fuel pump is possible but a guess (see #1)
  24. RFM
    P0306 covers misfires cyl.6, take a look in that area, cracked coil/spark plug, MAF is not plausible in combination with the showed code.
  25. RFM
    Sounds plausible to me, however, a second opinion does no harm.
