How To Change The Coil Packs And Spark Plugs On A Porsche Cayenne

In this video I show you step by step on how to change the coil packs and spark plugs on my Porsche Cayenne Turbo. This video will also be help for people who own a Cayenne S or GTS.
My car started missing and stumbling only when the engine was cold so I decided to change the spark plugs to see if that would fix the problem since the coils are fairly new. After changing the spark plugs the car runs so much better and the stumbling and missing are gone. Porsche recommends that the Cayenne Turbo have their spark plugs changed every 40k miles and the Cayenne S every 60k miles. If you're having similar symptoms don't rule out bad spark plugs.

Hey Dan, we’ve got a 2004 Cayenne Turbo w/ about 104K miles. It has been running pretty rough late and we had no idea what was wrong. We had it diagnosed and was told the Cayenne was misfiring and that we needed 2 coils and spark plugs changed for about $800. That was a bit high we opted to wait on a friend to help us. All I had to do was buy the parts and he would provide labor and afterward I would owe him a steak dinner. Well, the problem was finding time for him to help so in the mean time I found your RU-vid video and decided to give it a try. I’ve never done anything like this before but the way you explained everything made it appear very easy but I was skeptical about my abilities...I knew I would find some way to turn this into a weekend long job or I would end up towing it in BUT everything went according to your instructions. The list of needed tools at the beginning was great and the step by step instructions could not have been any easier. It did take me about 2 hours but I did stop to answer the phone a few times. I decided I was changing all 8 coils and spark plugs because I didn’t want to have to redo this job again in a few months. The Cayenne is running very smoothly and I can’t thank you enough. Thanks again.

Dan, Thanks for the clear walkthrough. I just finished replacing the Bosch starter motor, swapped the plastic coolant Tees at the back of the turbo engine with alloy Tees from Jagsthatrun.com, along with the hoses. Swapped a small crumbling plastic breather tee with a brass one, saved several hundred dollars replacing broken plastic breather hose with reinforced fuel line and saved another $140 for another broken hose by using reinforced 3/4"ID 4-ply silicone heater hose for the AOS-to-intake breather hose. I salvaged the snap fittings on either end with a heat gun. Pressure tested cooling system for leaks, put it all back together and, for good measure, replaced all the plugs and coils because...GermanCar. A controversial tip I'd like to share is I put a dab of zinc anti-seize on the plug threads and give a little squirt of di-electric grease around the inside of the coil boot. The zinc in the anti seize protects the threads in the alloy head from galvanic action of steel spark plug threads. Anti-seize also makes it easier to remove the next time. I thread my plugs by hand on the extension/socket until they seat then hop the ratchet on for just over a quarter turn. The dielectric grease inside the boot spread around with a tiny screwdriver or other small implement makes removal easier and seals out moisture to prevent tracking and arcing. Overkill? Probably.

@CowenJE 5 лет назад

Doing what he said would have been better. The commentary is good, the instructions were good. Saying torque down the spark plugs but not using a torque wrench is saying one thing but not doing it. Without a torque wrench, no way in hell do you know how tight the plugs are. Now I have done only 20-30 tune ups in my life and never torqued down anything. But I never lied about it either.

@DIYDanCars 4 года назад

@@CowenJE I spend hours filming, editing, and doing the commentating for a DIY video to help others save money servicing their cars and get called a liar because I didn't use a torque wrench on my spark plugs. LOL! You're welcome by the way.

@CowenJE 4 года назад

@@DIYDanCars guess you missed the point. But again I have never heard of torquing down spark plugs. I have seen some people install plugs so the gap points a specific direction, don't think that matters either.

@DIYDanCars 6 лет назад

Have you seen my Big Red Porsche 928 video series? We are currently rebuilding the engine in a 85' 928S. Unfortunately the pistons have taken a lot longer to make then we were hoping so the project is at a stand still. I do love my Cayenne, but there is no questions the 80's and 90's Porsche were MUCH better built.

@Torch70 6 лет назад

I'll definitely check them out...just started watching part 1. And I agree with the quality, it's like comparing a Rolex to a Timex. Then again the 928 had a hefty price tag. In '82 my Weissach was $50K. 35 years later a base Cayenne is $59K.

@eldilf 4 года назад

Good job on the video. I have an 08 v6. Recently it started shaking at 55-60mph and the psm warning light comes on. I also notice that if i release the gas a bit it wears off a bit. Took it to local autoparts store for dtc check and it came back out with P2900 so they suggested maybe a spark plug or coil. I also recently installed a slightly bigger tire and am wondering if it affected it at all as. The tires were balanced so its not a balance issue. Maybe you can add a bit of input?

Well, that was a fun job. Accept for loosening the air pump bracket. The one bolt is a bare to get at. I also had to replace the torque damper. The rubber was torn badly. Hard to believe account the car only has 55,000 miles on it. Thanks for the great video.

@DIYDanCars 5 лет назад

No problem Thomas! Good job on performing the service yourself! Yeah, Porsche quality is no where near what it use to be. I love their cars, but it's obvious that the accountants are running the show now. I wouldn't be surprised if your control arms are also in need of replacing. Definitely keep an eye on that tire wear.

@twoodruff01 5 лет назад

I called the Porsche dealership in Oregon and to do what I did they want $1300. Unbelievable. I do have a tire that is wearing bad. On the front passenger side. Do you have a video on changing control arms?

@DIYDanCars 5 лет назад

@@twoodruff01 Wow! Oregon Porsche is on the higher end as far as estimates go. There's a reason they call dealers "stealers" . lol! I'm now just finishing up the front suspension rebuild on my 75k mile Cayenne and will start editing the footage soon. I should have a how to video up on control arms in the next few weeks.

@twoodruff01 5 лет назад

How did that job compare to the Spark plug/coil job? I am sure you need special tools for suspension work.

@DIYDanCars 5 лет назад

In terms of difficulty I would say doing the upper and lower control arms is one step above coil packs and spark plugs. This job isn't hard just time consuming. If this is your first time doing this on a car, it will probably take you a weekend to complete.

@coreyhamlin5436 6 лет назад

This is an awesome video that was very helpful to me as I successfully completed the change with a little help. Question? My vehicle feels like it takes off faster, sounds rough and feels rough why is that? We put everything back. Even lifted the hood to see if anything was shaking and didn’t see anything moving. The sound seems like it is coming from the Driver side engine area. Is this a misfire? I made sure that all the spark plugs were gapped to .40 Am I doing something wrong?

@DIYDanCars 6 лет назад

Thanks! It's hard to tell without being there. Did you use the correct spark plugs? Are you sure that you didn't damage any of the plastic vacuum lines? These cars are getting old and the plastic vacuum lines are starting to get pretty delicate. Lastly double check that all the connections to the coil packs are plugged in and tight. Good luck and hope this helps!

If you have any questions on the valve cover gaskets, I will do my best to answer them here for you. Good luck! - DIY Dan

@Amitbhatia1 7 лет назад

Thanks Dan. I am thinking of buying another Cayenne Turbo S 2006. This Truck is very very clean and has about 70k miles but has one big issue. When I drive it, it shifts fine from 1-3, but when it hits 4th gear it seems as if it drops out of gear rpm goes up and then it slams into gear. I read online a lot of people are saying its a trans valve body issue. There is a chance I can get the truck for 15-16k or less due to this issue. Question is how much will trans flush/valve body repair run me (can I DIY myself or this is specialist repair?).....and worst case if I need new trans is that a DIY or specialist job.....and whats best company to go to for a rebuilt trans?

@OverlandTT 7 лет назад

This is a Mercedes transmission in these, even though nobody seems to admit it. Its a simple enough job for a good specialist that should cost possibly £200-£250 ($250-$300 US). The fluid needed is ATF+4. Nothing else should be used as far as I understand.

@DIYDanCars 7 лет назад

Sorry Amit. I'm now just seeing this post. A transmission replacement can be a DIY job, but that really depends on your skill level. I have no idea what a replacement would cost but I would imagine its expensive. It could be a valve body issue which isn't that hard as a DIY job. I only recommend Porsche ATF or Mobil 3309 ATF (same stuff). Personally I would never trust a "rebuilt" unit as too many shops half ass the work. Go for a nice low mileage used unit from a car that has been wrecked. Good luck.

@DIYDanCars 7 лет назад

@iVlog Who told you ATF+4 is used in our cars? That is a Chrysler spec fluid. The Cayenne requires Porsche ATF or Mobil 3309 spec fluid. www.mobil.com/english-US/Passenger-Vehicle-Lube/pds/GLXXMobil-ATF-3309

@OverlandTT 6 лет назад

Dan, I really hope you can help me with two things, firstly the emergency hood release cable if the main one fails. Secondly What does a bad coil pack or dropped cylinder liner sound like, it was fine then parked up for a couple of days then it was really hard to start - so much so I thought it was a bad battery. After 10-15 attempts it started and now has noise that is consistent with the engine rpm. Please please help as much as you can, it would be very much appreciated.

@DIYDanCars 6 лет назад

When a coil pack is bad or if you have scored cylinders the car will act like it's missing -- not running on all of its cylinders. When this happens the car will idle very lumpy and rough. The #8 cylinder is the most common to get scored. Does the car sound like it has a bad lifter? Pull the spark plug from the #8 cylinder and see if it's wet with fuel. If it is, borrow a borescope so you can scope the cylinders and check for scoring. If you don't have a borescope, it might be a worth while investment as prices on borescope are pretty reasonable now. It probably can't hurt to start praying to the Porsche Gods pleading for mercy too. **Sending good vibes your way!!** Good luck!

Hi Dan I have an 04 Porsche Cayenne s. The car had a ticking noise or nocking noise in the engine not sure how to fix it the dealer said cylinder wall scoring and have to change the engine which will cost me 20k. And the car value at 5k now if it in good running shape otherwise it’s junk. Any idea or suggestions that you have for me. Thanks Dan

@DIYDanCars 5 лет назад

Hi Calvin, there aren't any cheap and easy ways to fix this. You could install a used engine, but even thats hit or miss, because the used engine could have scored cylinders too. Another option would be to have a nikasil plating done to the cylinders and have custom pistons made for that application. I recently did this with my Porsche 928 project car and it went pretty smooth. The custom pistons and plating were very reasonably priced and didn't break the bank for my 928 (under $4k). If you can't do the work yourself, it might be best to cut your losses and move on as labor to pay someone would be cost prohibited. Sorry to hear about your car! I hope the Porsche Gods have mercy on your Cayenne! Good luck!

@DIYDanCars 5 лет назад

Press down super hard on the tab for the connecter with one hand and use the other hand to force the connector straight up. If the connectors to the coil packs have never been removed they can be somewhat of a pain to remove. Another tip is to wedge a flat head screw driver between the square part on the coil pack and the coil pack connector, then twist. Sometimes this method will aid in removing those really stubborn the connectors. Hope this helps.

@twoodruff01 5 лет назад

Thanks. I just thought another question. Why did you not use Bosch plugs. There are so many plugs to choose from it is crazy.

Because the OEM Bosch plugs are stupid expensive. :) The Denso plugs are factory equivalents at a much cheaper price.
