Updated List of TSBs for the Cayenne

[yoseif]

How can the Cayanne have February 2002 TSBs when it wasn't even in production until 2003?

Or am I misreading the list?

I already have GT3 TSBs before they have delivered any to the US!

Remember some are instructions for installing options so they have to have the manual for the dealers (and training).

Loren,

Is there any way to tell if a particular TSB should or should not be applied given a VIN? Also, are these TSB's available as addenda to the Factory Service Manuals?

Thanks!

Yes. TSB's that refer to a parts change or update sometimes include a VIN before and after. This would be the VIN after which the fix has been included in production. So only the cars before that VIN "should" need that fix. In a few cases specific VINs are called out for limited recall (i.e. some MY02 Carrera 6 speed transmissions).

You can buy a book (and for the newer ones a CD-ROM) with all the TSBs for a given set of years. Problem is these are usually published about once a year so many times that is a year after they come out. A better (more up-to-date) source is an online service like AllDataDIY.com. For $21.95 ($14.95 renewal) you get the TSBs for your car and a pseudo online service manual.
