    Are the cooling fans operating?
  2. wvicary
    What gallon are you using? Any long periods of idle? Is the transmission going into high gear and operating correctly? If there was a sensor problem it should trigger a fault code within two drive cycles. I assume the check engine is working and you've checked for faults.
  3. wvicary
    Not sure about 2008 and newer but the older model needed the dealer tool or durametric to activate the lights.
  4. wvicary
    How are you calculating the MPG? Are you using premium fuel? Are the tire pressures correct?
  5. wvicary
    No fault codes?
  6. wvicary
    Lucky for you the procedure for checking it has been covered here a million times. Just search the site.
  7. wvicary
    The fluid type is Pentosin 11S or 202
  8. wvicary
    Do you have access to a wiring diagram? It has to be a power supply fault or open wire. I assume all the fuses are good.
  9. wvicary
    Have the dealer check for a software update or and codes but it could be a fault in the light assembly which will be replaced as a complete unit due to LEDs.
  10. wvicary
    Are you saying there are control units actually missing from the vehicle? I would clear all codes and retest including checking all fuses/ circuit breakers if the vehicle has been in an accident. Could you provide some details of the vehicle history? Did you purchase it from salvage?
  11. wvicary
    Did you have any of these issues before all the after market products were put on?
  12. wvicary
    You've posted in the Cayenne section, you might get more responses in the 986 section. The dealer didn't give advice as to what may the problem? Did the module programing go ok with no issues? I assume the battery has been tested.
  13. wvicary
    Any details on the wiring problem? It may be of help to others in the future.
  14. wvicary
    1/8" over filled isn't a great amount, I wouldn't worry about it.
  15. wvicary
    Have you inspected the water pump?
  16. wvicary
    You can replace the big end bushing and that's often the one that fails.
  17. wvicary
    There is a junction point under the vehicle on the right side near the engine thats prone to corrosion and can cause a voltage drop.
  18. wvicary
    The right side fuel pump is only on at certain times and never runs full time. Are you sure the cross over pipes to equalize fuel level on each side of the tank are fitted correctly? What is the fuel level in the left side pump module at 1/4 tank?
  19. wvicary
    At the automotive repair shop we won't use Amsoil products but in the end it's your money.
  20. wvicary
    It's not just a simple as dropping the pan to replace the gasket. There are many many other places these engine leak oil that is more common then the oil pan. I would have it looked at by someone experienced with these engines.
  21. wvicary
    Even though the bulb is lit it might not have the impedance or current draw needed for the circuit so it's recommended to replace the bulb, clear codes and retest.
  22. wvicary
    Regardless of battery age it could still have failed so you need to have it tested. Just a note: you don't have a ignition switch in the regular term but a start control module.
  23. wvicary
    The plug could be for the CD changer or trailer control module. Black plastic pull ring is the manual way to open the fuel door.
  24. wvicary
    I have seen more then enough spark plugs seized in cylinder heads but only on high milage vehicles so I wouldn't worry about it.
  25. wvicary
    In your picture the back of the panel is supposed to engage the rectangle shaped area on the cross member. If the tab is broken off it will need to be replaced.
