I have a 2009 GTS - it's a 957, instead of a 955, and it has the big 4.8L naturally aspirated V8. Got it a few years ago, and paid $17k when it had 83k miles - and I love it (it's my daily driver). Some of the issues shown still apply (Cardan shaft bearing, front seat backs, worn bushings and boots) - but others are not an issue : water pipes are not plastic (although I believe there is a plastic barb that is glued in on the front, and the glue can wear out), bore scoring is not an issue (different manufacture process). You did not mention replacing the "dog bone" engine torque damper - the rubber in that gets old and worn (easy fix), nor looking for water under the front mats (the drain for A/C condensation can get plugged, causing water to accumulate in the cabin under the front mats - which is an issue, because the wiring harness there can be compromised). Wrenching yourself is the way to go to save $$$ - I've replaced thermostat, water pump, serpentine belt, CV axle, plugs and coils, hood shock, fixed seat backs, and fixed sagging head liner. Note that you will break things while fixing other things (can be intentional - but usually not) - I cracked the line from the Air/Oil Separator (AOS) to the intake manifold when I tried to disconnect it because it was so brittle, and had to replace it with a new one (although a quick fix with metallic tape worked for a couple weeks while I waited for the part). The GTS may also be a bit easier to work on - no auxiliary air pumps at the back of the engine. I also had to get a set of wheels for snow tires, as I could not source snow tires for the 21" wheels, and ended up getting a set of 19" wheels for snow tires. Without doing anything else, I have taken it both to the track and out on logging roads in Colorado and Montana (even in the winter), and not had any issues. Only complaint is gas usage - if I throw it over a cliff, it might get 14 mpg on the way down. Put it in sport mode and floor it, and you can see the needle fall towards empty. I also wish it was the manual transmission (another rare option).
I have the Same Car in Germany.. 2007 - for 16.5 K Euro with 186 k Kilometer.. and After buy repair for 10 k … I love the car … but nobody wants to buy these car in Germany 😂
The car is Black/Black complete , repair so much … the next problem ist the transmission 😂 2. To 3. Gear it makes problems… I repair 😂
Exact 😂He needs much fuel … 24 Liter … on long way 12,5 Liters minimum
Have the same car, also my daily.. love it and still love how it sounds
A deer totaled my ‘08 Cayenne S last year so I bought a ‘14 diesel and I absolutely love the torque and the fuel mileage.
As a Porsche guy who has owned 13,, this has to be the best Cayenne 955/957 Buyers Guide on TH-cam right now!!!! Awesome job boys!
Thanks! You’re gonna make me blush!
Very excited to see this video. I have owned a 2006 Cayenne Turbo S for about 1 year now. Its a secondary machine for me so hasn't been a daily driver. I was quite comfortable purchasing it from a close friend, since i knew what work he and the previous owner had done. It feels extremely grounded and has alot of power, even by todays standards. It really is an outlier in the Porsche history books. only 1500 Turbo S produced in 2006, 600-700 which took delivery in the States and Canada. all subjective numbers but i have heard these stats a few times now. Apparently for the final year of the MK1 955, Porsche pulled their Lemans team together to collaborate and engineer the specifics, this might be one of the reasons we were given such a monster for its time. It also happens to be the largest Porsche brake package done factory to date and only seen on the 2006 Turbo S. Its incredible to think the current 2023 Cayenne Turbo, only has 20 more HP totaling 540 HP. This Cayenne Turbo S was the fastest production Porsche from 2006-2010, excluding the Carrera GT. There is something special about the suspension on these, its not as sensitive as other German air ride and failure rates are alot lower vs other mid 2000s German luxury vehicles. Transmission is an Aisin, modified by VW, but also used by Toyota in their Landcruiser and Lexus GX460/LX570. You can probably tell by now that I am quite smitten about this vehicle. I didn't chase this 06 Turbo S but the opportunity came by and I couldn't say no.
You made a good choice - they are really special
Saw the Phoenix one out at Porsche Palooza in Eureka Springs. Great video!
Beginning my dive into 955 and 957 for "overlanding" or softroading and camping. Great price when compared to an FJ cruiser or similar.
Fantastic video!! Very informative!! Very helpful!! Thank you!
Good luck in your search. Hold out for a good one!
I’ve had my cayenne s for 12 years now and it’s been surprising reliable for what it is. Currently sitting at 317k km or 196k miles.
Another common thing is the exhaust flex pipes go out on older ones as well as front wheel bearings aren’t uncommon. Also the engine torque arm is a weak point as well as the expansion tank. Mines got steel springs and I haven’t touched any suspension component in the 12 years I had it. They were really overbuilt cars !!
Good notes, thanks for watching and commenting.
I've been seeing these Modded for a while and never really considered them. This has been a most enlightening Video👍. Glad I stumbled on it. Cheers 🍻, G.
Very Informative video.. Thanks for sharing..
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH for making this video!
Happy to help - good luck in your search!
Thank you for this video. I will feel much more confident when I go to look at one soon!
Glad we could help!
Great video! . . Another mechanic's option to check the coolant pipes (at 15:00 minutes) is to use a *digital borescope* aka fiber optic inspection camera in the same location. These devices have an *LED light* and a large view-screen that makes it easy to perform a quick inspection without removing the intake manifold. Price and quality ranges from $50 (for small-screen generic units or cellphone attachments) to $200+ (from manufactures like Milwaukee, Rigid, etc.).
I bought a 2009 Turbo S, nice shape all records..but...I have the dreaded steering lock faulty. So she sat for a year in my garage dead because I'm not paying 9k to replace the steering column on a 15k car. (I'll fix it eventually but it was a pita. Cost me close to $1000 between getting it towed to the dealer then the diagnosis then the tow home!)
Thank you. Good video good presentation
Glad it was helpful!
Almost pulled the trigger on one of these three years ago.. Just hard to find one with everything I wanted on it.Instead, I picked up a 2012 Tdi Q7 that I'm starting an Overland build on. The usual, 3" lift, 1" drop, 18's with 275/70's. I have a base cayman 981 with lot's of miles, and I'm starting to see some safari builds on Caymans that are intriguing. Migh be fun!
nice video guys, very informative! hopefully I'll find the right Cayenne to transform into an offroad beast soon :)
Thanks! You should check out our other videos about building our cayenne into an off roader
Each one offers a unique case of Kolbenfresser
This is where the performance is at
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great information. Thnk you. Definitely need better light source when filming.
We always hope to get better at this. Noted.
Subbed. Lots of info here and on FCP.
Hoping to start test driving and putting eyes on 957s this weekend. Screw the Jeeps and Tacoma's 😂
Did these issues get ironed out in the later 957? I'd be happy to pay more for a '09 or '10 if they have less issues
Awesome video. Any idea if the exhaust hack is possible on a 958 Turbo with stock exhaust?
It should be, it’s very similar exhaust wise to the 955
Brilliant review- I’m actually thinking of buying one- 4 kids, go fishing 🎣 looks like a perfect fit of comfort and luxury
Absolutely!
They are!
How did I not found you guys sooner? 😂 Great video, I had guy ask me what to look for when getting one, you guys did cover everything except one thin I strongly recommend. Water drains. Great video!
Awesome! We will have to keep the drains in mind!
Great Video! Just wondering if you know any good shop in Vancouver area, Canada can works on cayennes? Ty
Not that I know of. We are Texas based. If you pay for the flight, time and lodging we are happy to fly and fix it for you haha!
Great Video!!!!! i have a 2005 Porsche Cayenne S Change the old headlights and hardness both still have to bump them so the turn signal or high beam or headlight work not all the time but 3-4 a week do you have a video related to this issues???? if you do please let me know Thank you!!!!
Yes we do, is on our channel called headlight repair. th-cam.com/video/NVVB0eB3SmU/w-d-xo.html
Hello guys which Cayenne I have to buy 3.2 v6 or 4.5 v8 s ? Or 4.8 v8 or 3.6v6 ? But its more expensive the two last ones I live in France and I want to drive with gpl too for making économie :).. some people says too me 4.5 v8 s or more fragile than v6 ?
The door run away 😂
Hi guys, great video!!! I am currently looking into a later 2016 958 Turbo, 64k mi. Curious on your thoughts on that model year, looks like no recalls and the plastic coolant piping was corrected. I am a very mechanical and technical guy. Currently have a 914-V8 😊 and have had 928 and other 914 so not new to the Porsche maintenance and requirements. Any advice is appreciated!!!
I don’t know much about 958 - good luck in your search
Subscribed !!!
Thanks!
I love this videos
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is the muffler mod mentioned in the video called the 'gundo' hack? From your description, I don't think it is. I'm looking to do something like this on my 08 S. Any info appreciated.
Not sure about the name but the hack mentioned in the video should be applicable to most cayennes
@@husmanbros Apparently, the hack is only applicable to 955's as the 957's have a slightly different muffler exit that rotates downwards on exiting the muffler. So not a straight pathway into the muffer.
Really liked the video! One thing you might do is get some better lighting for filming under the car. Was really hard to see some of the things he was pointing out under there.
Thanks for the feedback! We will work on the for future videos!
Great video, What are your thoughts on the diesel version?
Rob is actually looking into getting a diesel to build next. He has a newer diesel as well. They are fantastic
Great Video!! Does cousin Rob have a channel too?? I'm in the market for a 955/957 and I'd love more info. Thanks!
Rob does not currently have a channel. He only appears on ours. Maybe we can talk him into making one
You don’t want 1!! Mine smokes so bad, fouls plugs, radio works when it wants, back of seat falls off. Piece of shit. Mine is 04 cayenne S
My home slice is selling his first generation cayenne. 2007 Cayenne with 98k miles for $8500
Can’t seem to get comment to go through. Found you while trouble shooting “ oil leak” in my 2013 cayenne diesel one owner, me well maintained. Porsche dealership mechanic diagnosed as chain housing cover issue .600$ parts 8200$ labor. He says he would not recommend repair , just keep driving her. I love my car and do want to keep driving her but do you agree.. he sent video. I look forward to following your channel
$8000 us is insane... Here in Australia it costs around $5000 aud max to fix this issue, I got quoted $3000.. Rear main/timing cass leak, do the chain guides while your there
First Cayenne came in 2002... Cayenne S had 340hp and Turbo 450hp.
I have a 2004 cayenne and trying to find a good mechanic and place to get good parts…
I've only seen one with the spare tire; driving in traffic' really neat seeing you swing it out and close. Spot-on analysis and review!
I've had my 2004 turbo for twelve years, and it only has 72k miles. I've already dealt with the headlight wiring harnesses, and had to replace one headlight because of the wiring in the headlight. My rear hatch struts are weak and I just bought a new pair for a little Spring project. Alcantara headliner is just starting to droop a little. It sits in the garage on a trickle charger Nov-March in Illinois.
In my first year of owning this "truck", it was a little expensive - the low pressure fuel pump died, then suddenly realizing the horns didn't work and having to remove the front bumper to replace them.... I hated it before I loved it. I'll probably keep it forever. Someday I want to find out what might be under the front passenger seat. Many cars put the battery on the passenger side, but Cayenne's is under the driver's seat. Seems wrong from a weight balancing standpoint, perhaps the fuel tank is mostly on the pass. side(?)
I generally enjoy working on my Mercedes cars more, but the Cayenne is pretty mechanic friendly too.
I just purchased a 2003 cayenne S 4.5 last week & I am VERY HAPPY SO FAR!!! But a few Gremlins are starting to show. Fuel consumption for one, but GOES GREAT! But My right hand rear door latch is not locking at the moment, Would be great to get a heads up on cost for latch & procedure on replacement of latch?? Great content SO far guys. 👍
I had one that had a bad door handle, the microswitch inside was broken. I asked my mechanic (not Rob) how much to fix and he quoted me $500 for replacement. If you are fairly handy, I don’t think it’s complicated. I don’t have one to fix now or I would make a video for you.
And yes, these are a thirsty V8
What about the Transfer case issues ?
We haven’t had any t case issues on any Cayennes we have had.
Isn't the 2004 a money pit? i thought that particular model year and the 2011 were riddled with problems?
That’s not been our experience. These are 20 year old Porsches so you will have some expense, but ours has been fairly reliable (except when we broke it offroad).
Are they better than a BMW X5 , thanks 👍🏴🙏
In my opinion they are.
Thanks for the reply
❤Want a off toad turbo...
If you wait long enough, you can buy the Turbo S we are building.
@@husmanbros I have time...
@@husmanbros I need the lift system low range.
Hey I have a question pls
I own my self a Porsche cayenne Turbo S
2006
Olive Green metallic
Slick top (no sunroof)
And 20 inch Sport techno rims
It’s my car rare how many of them was build like my one ?
Good question that I don’t think we have the answer to. Hard to tell exact color codes per model year.
@@husmanbros are YOU maybe interested on buying it ?
That swing out spare tire is beautiful
We agree!
Great video, just a suggestion. Remove the trap background track.
Noted!
What is so hard about saying SUV instead of truck for these dudes XD
We consider them more trucks than SUVs based on our experience with them
I love my 2008 Turbo S, most things mentioned in the video apply, but it's relatively easy fix if you take into consideration what kind of a beast it is.
The only problem that I can't find a walkaround is not being able to pair the iphone via bluetooth to actually listen to my music )) sounds stupid I know, but the feature is real handy )) Anyone managed to solve the problem?

U need Russian Триома адаптер
I put an Alpine carplay navi in my ‘08 S
@@marcusanders9365 ty I'll google it
So not true replacing the is pricy you have Brembo 955 gen but brembo 957 is way bigger and more expencive. I have two cayennes and done many modifications on my 955...so i know difference. 955 brake discs for 331kw is more cheaper than for 957, 368kw model.
I guess that rear trunk spoiler modification is must have on 955 model from 957...the look will be much sport'y.
Also you can put 18' original rims on 368kw model support, there will be approx 2mm gap between rim and support. I use this rims for winter driving R18 255/55 tires.
my 17 year old friend just bought a 2006 cayenne turbo s. I tried to warn him that its gonna be a money pit but he wouldn't listen. He's in for a ride lol, a very expensive one
Well if he gets to the point of selling it let us know
@@husmanbroshe's at that point lol, you still interested?
@@JoshLifts05I might be. I'm on the hunt.
The music is distracting and unnecessary, but I still 👍 for the valuable information.
"some people run a screw in the seat backs" ruff buggers.... many simple ways to attach seat backs.
And a screw with a cap was simplest - we tried several different glues, etc, but the texas heat and road vibrations beat them all. Ultimately this is a nearly 20 year old car we take offroad.
Ha ha, Hunt Brothers. Few people these days under 60 probably even knows what they attempted.
I'd be interested in your 2006 turbo S , reach out to me
I have one and am interested in selling
Please ask the person holding the camera to decide what they want to focus on first, shine the light there, and then hold that camera in place. Sorry to have to say it, but the picture is so unstable and shaky as to make it useless at times. Hope it helps.
Good to know, what time stamp in the video are you referring to specifically? Would help to know.
@@husmanbros From 13:57 on until 17:48. But that could be just me in which case I apologize. Still, a very good program.
❤Help me find one?
We are selling ours on bat soon
@@husmanbros Mahalo Thanks!
I’d sell mine for 6000
@@dubbjohnson Thanks. I'm shopping around.Does it need anything? miles? I'd like to repaint one.. Would need to . ship to Maui.

That’s the one!
If you don't have one Saturday per month to spend wrenching, don't do it.
My favourite Cayenne is a VW Touareg V10. You can put the engine into a cayenne if you want given they're essentially the same truck...Cayenne has sportier suspension options and better brakes but you'll be replacing those soon after buying it regardless of which route you go.
Reason I say the V10 is better is because it's got over 550lb-ft of torque to make up for the fact these trucks are heavy. While only 300HP on the stock tune you it's also happy to make around 450 with a simple remap if you're willing to sacrifice some torque and delete some emissions equipment...Better know how to wrench on your own diesel though as nobody seems to want to work on them.
I miss my touareg
What to look for when buying a Cayenne? Buy a Touareg.
I really really wanted to watch this but that constant music is driving me insane.
We will keep that in mind, thanks for the feedback.
You have too much sun there. Thats why these roofliners drop. And most of the time you are short of the money. Stop crying baby. I got this.
I got nothing from these guys.I just wanted to know what to look for When buying 955 957 porsche.What a waste of time these guys started talking like they were selling the vehicle
Unfortunately, we have no Cayennes to sell you. Thanks for the views tho!
One word to describe the Porsche cayenne
TRASH!
Our experience with ours has been really positive!
Is there a way to program the PASM so it doesn't lower over 18 miles an hour? I know shops program replacement ECU's but can't find anyone that does PASM programming.
*BETTER ADVICE: Don't buy this problem ridden unreliable vehicle period.
You're welcome
