    Be sure the battery contacts are clean, you can use a pencil eraser to scuff them up and clean them.
  2. wvicary
    You need to get this sorted to prevent damage to the air spring.
  3. wvicary
    No fluid film on the vehicle just on the floor? Are you sure it's from your vehicle? Inspect the steering rack bellows for fluid.
  4. wvicary
    My Cayenne doesn't do this.
  5. wvicary
    No parts are needed, just be sure all the drains are clear.
  6. wvicary
    I would have the intake system smoke tested.
  7. wvicary
    Inspect the system for vacuum leaks often caused by a split hose. The squeak could be just a dry pivot point.
  8. wvicary
    Do you have all the parts mentioned above? Item 23 is what sorted the issue for the other owner.
  9. wvicary
    I thought all Cayennes had factory air bags? Which unit are you referring to?
  10. wvicary
    There front cowl drain also that could be plugged, they are located in the same area that holds the brake master cylinder. So they cleaned the drain for the climate control air box near the cabin filter?

    You can often here a hiss noise when booster is working correctly. How do the brakes feel? If there was a problem you should have warning on the display in short order.
  12. wvicary
    Monitor the consumption and if it increase then you'll need to investigate the cause. Engine can collect in the turbos, coolers or in any of the many hoses on the system but it is normal... now how much is being burnt is another question.
  13. wvicary
    That doesn't make any sense why a blown fuse would impact the cluster in the way you described. I hope somebody can explain it.
  14. wvicary
    What RPM is that recorded at? Idle? A poor ground will reduce the potential of the charging system so it could be a fault. What is the voltage @1500RPM with no accessories on?
  15. wvicary
    I've not heard of many problems with the starters but the odd one with a poor cable connection under the vehicle that results in slow cranking speeds. Search the forum as it was covered here before for more details.
  16. wvicary
    Follow the instructions posted above for installation.
  17. wvicary
    Only time will tell if the switch gear will air dry. If you search the forum it will tell you everything and then some about access to the battery.
  18. wvicary
    You can remove them and clean the contact surface but sometimes the fault is within the cable itself. I use a set of jumper/booster cable to provide a substitute ground path from engine to chassis and retest to see what effect it had on the fault.
  19. wvicary
    At wide open throttle the AC is disengaged to reduce parasitic losses so the engine can develop max HP.
  20. wvicary
    I agree with Loren. A MAF sensor that is biased can cause a performance issue and not set a fault code. Does the check engine light come on with the ignition key?
  21. wvicary
    yes for freeway driving but he's doing low speed "offroad" driving i guess it's normal No matter the driving conditions my temp never moves off the 180 mark even with the AC on full chat and climbing hills. I would just make sure everything is up to par.
  22. wvicary
    I would only recommend replacing OEM unit with OEM.
  23. wvicary
    40 psi is fine.
  24. wvicary
    I check the oil level every second time I fill the fuel tank........... which is often in a Cayenne.
  25. wvicary
    I would also verify the chassis grounds.
