    Only address code if they return after being cleared. No need to fix what might not be broken.
  2. wvicary
    Sorry I have not heard of this problem before. Any chance you can drive another from your dealer to see if that one does it also?
  3. wvicary
    You need to inspect the mechanical linkage inside the drivers door that operates the locks. You should be able to lock/unlock the door with the key.

    Find the fault code causing the check engine light. I would also check the fuel pressure as the main fuel pump could be the cause.

    The ABS alert happens to warn you that some the ABS system might not function correctly while being interrogated by diagnostic software during a road test.
  6. wvicary
    You can also check the water pump for brng failure, wiggle the pulley and check for movement. It pump is an easy DIY. How many miles on the vehicle?

    ACEA rated (meaning they have paid to have their oils tested in an independent lab under ACEA regimen, and agreed to “freeze” the formulation once it has successfully passed. ACEA only rates finished products, not ingredients, and any change, no matter how slight, requires re-testing to obtain their rating). Do you have any proof of this?

    Remove the retaining nut on the spindle and gentle rock the wiper arm back and forth. Be careful as the wiper arm can easily be bent. It sounds like the motor has failed and will need replacing.
  9. wvicary
    It's an inexpensive part so why not just replace it? It can be changed out without removing the console in a few minutes time.

    Welcome. It's best if you can access the fault codes. There are many micro switches and potentiometers the could be at fault. It sounds like a timing fault meaning that a sequence of events are not in sync so the opening procedure is stopped.
  11. wvicary
    Just a quick question. With the vehicle running and the front hood closed, do the wipers still continue to fault? If yes then i would disconnect the wiper arm linkage from the motor to rule out a seizing wiper arm spindle.
  12. wvicary
    Have the front suspension components inspected. Perhaps you have a failing control arm bushing and the loading is causing a alignment issue.
  13. wvicary
    I think that is the wire for the alarm. If it goes to ground it will sound a single beep when you arm the alarm.
  14. wvicary
    Low range and locking diffs are expected to be optional (like on the current Mercedes ML). Rumour is that on the normal cars PDK will be used whereas the off-road optioned cars will be fitted with a torque converter automatic. So just internet rumors and no real facts as of yet. I've emailed a few dealers several times but no reply to date.
  15. wvicary
    Do you mean under steer? Are the tire pressures correct?
  16. wvicary
    Common codes in various modules are low voltage caused from a weak battery or the vehicle being stationary too long. If the battery voltage drops too low during cranking it will set these bogus codes.

    What caused the belt to fail? They do break from age and milage and it is possible that some other damage could occur but it's sounds like they are trying to take you for a ride. I can't see how it would cause the water pump to leak unless you overheated the engine when the belt broke.
  18. wvicary
    I've been waiting for information on the new model release before deciding what year to purchase. Did you find this info on Porsches website?
  19. wvicary
    No damage will be done with a dead battery but I still would open the hood and inspect for and acid damage.
  20. wvicary
    What year is your vehicle? There was a TSB for an intermittent charge fault on early models and the charge cable was the fix. The alternators don't often give too many problems on the Cayennes.
  21. wvicary
    There must be a local independent garage familiar with the Cayenne/Touareg that could test your battery/charging system.
  22. wvicary
    Remove the unit and check the connections at the rear of the unit. It's simple enough to do and cost nothing. If it was the ignition switch then other accessories should be effected also.
  23. wvicary
    If it's running fine and the plugs have a good colour then why look for something different?
  24. wvicary
    Welcome to the forum. In regards to the choice of spoilers.... each to his own. It's your car and if you're happy with it that's all that matters.

    Durametric is fantastic value for the money. Highly recommended.
