    You are not going to be able address this issue with the Durametric system, you are going to need to be looking at the EVAP system flex lines for cracks or breaks, and removing and testing the components for their integrity under vacuum. Good old fashion hands on diagnostics for this one.

    Gas cap issues rarely throw this code, it is more often a small leak somewhere is the fuel tank ventilation system (EVAP system, EVAP purge system, shut off valve, EVAP system lines, etc.).
  3. JFP in PA
    It is a valve that allows air to flow depending upon the vacuum conditions in the system.

    +1 on checking the grounds. Weak grounds are a source of unending headaches.
  5. JFP in PA
    Yes, go back to everything on that side that you unplugged while working, and check the connections, one may have worked itself loose.

    Your question intrigued me as I have never done a filter regeneration on a Cayenne, so I went searching and found two items on the subject; the first is an electronic version of the owner's manual for the vehicle which has some notes on the subject: http://www.porscheownersmanuals.com/2014-cayenne/10/265-22279/Diesel-Diesel-engine-Diesel-particulate-filter The second is a video of one in progress which shows the use of the Porsche diagnostic system initiating the process: https://youtu.be/VJQwHsstvDE So the dealers can do it. I am not aware of a function in Durametric for this, so you might want to drop them a line an inquire if it can.

    The correct output voltage should be 13.5-14.5V at idle (checked using a digital multimeter, not the dash display). If all the primary cables pass voltage drop, and there are no problems with the car's grounds (resistance), there has to be a problem with the alternator itself (diode) or the voltage regulator inside the alternator. You've basically run out of other possibilities.
  8. JFP in PA
    You may be experiencing a dying voltage regulator (inside the alternator, but can be replaced).
  9. JFP in PA
    What kind of voltage drop do you get on the starter cables?
  10. JFP in PA
    Do a voltage drop test across your primary battery/starter cables. These cars are well known for having resistance build up in the cables which otherwise look fine, and need to be replaced. Porsche has released new cables designed to eliminate this issue.

    We have multiple customers still on their factory clutches in excess of 150K, and even a handful over 200K. As Loren noted, it is not the clutch that determines its life expectancy, it is the driver.

    More often than not, cold weather shifting effort problems are the result of the wrong gear oil rather than the shifter. We have installed a lot of short shifters, mostly B&M, and as some of the cars are used daily in zero and sub zero ambient temperatures without any shifting issues, while others have had poor cold weather shifting even with the stock shifter when using aftermarket gear oils which were completely remedied by going back to the factory fill, it is difficult to blame the shifters.

    Well, as you have posted on other websites that the fuse does not blow when the replacement central locking system/alarm controller is unplugged, I'd start with that.
  14. JFP in PA
    Could be Mike, it's not blowing the fuse anymore, I did spray some contact cleaner on the fuse contacts. I hope I didn't do any damage though, my windows are both stuck in the down position. I know you're very knowledgeable about these cars. I read your write up about installing a new top which I'm in the process of doing. I replied to this post because I was having the same issue as the original poster, just 3 years later. If memory serves, there are only a couple of things on the fuse circuit, like the windows, interior lights, and the alarm system. If your windows are acting up, I'd start there, but I would also check the central locking and alarm box under the seat, it often gets wet and causes no end of issues.

    Welcome to RennTech :welcome: If all that is bad is the key head, it can be replaced without having to reprogram. Purchase a replacement head, and switch over the key shaft and the little RFID button into the new key head, and your in business. The second key, however, is going to involve programing and cutting. Thanks for the welcome and for the advice. Are the ebay key heads ok, or do I need to buy Porsche? Fleabay can always be a crap shoot, we stay with the real thing unless the owner of the car has already purchased them elsewhere.

    2000-2001 was a transitional period where the car could have either a single or dual row bearing; the dual row was stronger, but still failed, just not in as large number as the single rows did.

    Durametric, which is a Porsche specific tool, will correctly activate the ABS/PSM during a hydraulic system flush and bleed.
  19. JFP in PA
    You are not going to be able to properly bleed the system after changing the ABS unit without a Porsche diagnostic tool. If you do not have access to one, I would suggest not taking the car apart until you do.
  20. JFP in PA
    The Durametric software will also activate the ABS/PSM system during a flush.

    That's where it goes. thx.that tube doesn't go to anything and I am looking at a diagram that shows it going to no where. are you implying this should be tied into the washer system somehow? Perhaps we are looking at different tubes, can you annotate your photo to indicate which one you are referring to?
  22. JFP in PA
    I think you are looking at the head light washer solvent line, and yes, both should have one.
  23. JFP in PA
    That's where it goes.
  24. JFP in PA
    It is the outside air temp sensors, it clips into the grill opening.

    Well, a full year subscription runs about $5K, but you can also buy access to one page at a time if you choose and for a lot less money. Info here: https://techinfo2.porsche.com/PAGInfosystem/VFModuleManager?Type=GVOStart
