Well you definitely took the long way home. That's the way I used to do it also till I figured out Audi engineers put the oil filter on the top of the engine for a reason. Now I use an oil suction pump (readily available on Amazon) to remove the old oil through the filler tube Then I remove ( or just slide aside) the air filter assembly and replace the filter. Voila! All done in about 30 mins.
Can anybody recommend some H7 LED bulbs that fit the Cayenne 958 that don't flicker? I've tried two mid priced models and they both flicker after 1-2 days.
Ok here is some knowledge that was passed down to me from a NASA engineer who had done an oil study. The best thing you can do for your oil is to agitate the bottle of oil before you pour it in the engine. How many of us have looked into the oil bottle to see how much was left after we poured it into the engine. The darker brown oil is the good stuff that has settled during shipping and sitting on the parts store shelf.
@@KevinsEuropeanGaragethank you for the response! Just tried today and the cover does pop off the same, difference is that the ignition coils are not covered with latches that clicks. Space is more cramped under a stabilizer bar that runs across the engine compartment, but shouldn’t be too hard to get under
Your videos are awesome mate! Just got my 958 VR6 and your videos have helped me fix a heap of issues. Sorry to hear about your oil consumption issues but really appreciate all the time and effort put into all of your videos to clearly explain and provide any insight into better ways to do things! Love it!
Definitely the stock mufflers are heavy. With the bypasses on you can feel the difference in the rear it feels lighter. The fabspeed is lighter than stock but not by a huge amount
Completely agree; those 40lbs stripped off the back of the car was super noticeable for me as well, but just couldn’t deal with the dBs which was just comical.
Thanks for the review always nice to hear i made a good choice even after the fact. Got a new set for my 2019 VW GTI SE couldnt be more happy eith them!
Thank you, very helpful video. I got offered a 2013 S and looking for info on it. I am a Toyota guy and have never driven a Porsche. The maintenance and repairs costs worries me.
Bonjour, Je voulais connaître le diamètre de votre bypass ? Super vidéo et très système qui me paraît plus agréable que des silencieux inox sur des grandes distances.
MUITO OBRIGADO, ME AJUDOU DEMAIS. MEU CAYENNE GTS 2014 ESTAVA DANDO UNS TRANCOS EM BAIXA ROTAÇÃO (1.000 - 2.000 RPM) E BAIXA VELOCIDADE (2º E 3ª MARCHA). ME DIAGNOSTICARAM COM PROBLEMA DE BANDEJA MAS EU PERCEBIA QUE NÃO ERA. RESOLVI TROCAR O FLUÍDO DA CAIXA DE TRANSFERÊNCIA APÓS ASSISTIR SEU VÍDEO E O DEFEITO DESAPARECEU NA PRIMEIRA TROCA! MUITO OBRIGADO!!!
Great helpful video! One thing that may help others: when removing the cover, if you insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver in the circular part of the latch, you can pry with it to release the latch. Could be easier than trying to get a larger screwdriver up behind the latch.
I have a 2012 Cayenne that only has 32k miles on it, and has given my zero issues really, TC was changed by OPC (FOC), and 2 years ago I replaced the original battery, and a new set of tires… that’s all. I was gonna trade/sell it but it’s too nice to let it go for silly chump change. So instead, decided to keep it for inclement weather (when I won’t ride my Spyder) or for road trips with my dogs.
that's too bad, I will miss your Cayenne videos they've been very helpful. for the headlamp, I've replaced the whole headlight with new look (4 tiny lamps) insteand of just LED lamps. anyways I am still keeping mine cayenne. Good luck with Q7!
The transfer case my Macan was replaced at 22k and the problem started to come back after the warranty expired. I don't recall getting the extended warranty in mail and found this video after 7 years. I just changed the transfer case oil last month and the problem is 95% gone.
They sent out almost zero paperwork. You had to go to the dealer to get the information or look it up. I find that it might take a few flushed to get it 100% and going forward change it every 15k and it should be ok mine made it to 150k and that was when I traded the car in.
Great video! Idea- when it's done draining, would it make sense to add .1 or .2 litres while the drain plug is out to help flush out the excess old fluid that is still sitting in the transfer case? (vs driving 100 miles and redoing the whole thing).
