It was hard to read the comments since the people don’t know my situation. This is the second Porsche that I have owned and have no problem putting the necessary funds into something I enjoy.

Good choice that gen of cayenne is my favorite you just don’t see that gen anymore and when you do there pretty ragged out and the miles aren’t bad on it either 👍
German cars are left-hand drive in Germany. Right hand drive in the UK, Australia. The left hand key was for the Le Mans race, where drivers would run to their cars and start them. Left hand key, right had gearshift.
yes, this huge obese cowy suv would destroy anybody at Le Mans 😆 Yes, I know it is kind of brand's tradition but it's kind of disrespectful to put some Le Mans car's features in this thing
I thought that was becoming kind of a thing on newer cars. I know someone with a Focus and it's like that. I wouldn't really know thought, I buy and drive older cars
Your audio is fine. The Porsche has adjustable ride height depending on your performance mode. Set for off road, the unit will raise up 2-3 inches. Catch cans are aftermarket accessory.
3:07 the placement of the ignition is an ode to racing history. In LeMans races the drivers run up to their vehicles, start, and go. Left hand side ignition is to make that more seamless and quicker to get going in a race.
I had a crankcase breather system similar to that, called Oildex, back in the '60's. It made the system cleaner, and met air pollution device requirements in California before they were enacted, and kept the oil from being as contaminated.
One of the most exciting days of my life was driving a 1989 Porche 944 home I purchased used in 1999. The second most exciting day was about 4 months later waving goodbye to it when a guy from Maryland drove it away from my home in Pennsylvania. Lesson learned. Enough said.
Porsches (and most other expensive European vehicles) are wonderful cars when bought/leased new. You can put on 50-60k miles of fun and trouble-free driving..but then unload them. Then the next owner will be paying for the fun you had.
Love the microphone now! The noises around you are back. That is what makes it interesting. Hearing what the car noises, collision alarm, bad brakes, etc....Thank you!
My 1960 Porsche 356b key to the left. Pre 1970 Le Mans with a running start, Porsche engineers realized that moving the ignition to the left would allow drivers to start the car while shifting into gear and steering away. Love your channel
When there are no loud noises, the background is nice to add context. When load noises, such as fans, compressors, neighbours grinding rocks the noise canceling system is a great addition.
the key is there because of the le mans start in the 60ies where you ran across the track, jumped in the car and of you went, by having the ignition key on the left side you could save precious seconds at the start
Nonsense Nonsense the key is closer to the door as a convenience for the mechanics working on them. Less time at 4oo dollars an hour reaching in the window turning it on and off during diagnostics .
@@matthiasschumann8448 On my 84 928, the key is on the right side of the steering wheel but the handbrake lever is on the left hand side of the seat near the floor. I believe it's the handbrake reference you're referring to rather than the ignition key. As far as the new Porsches are concerned, I feel they've gotten too complicated and costly with all the tech stuff while my vehicle is more driver focused without all those distractions and something I can work on with the aid of my service manuals.
@@matthiasschumann8448 The key is on the left of the steering column because this made it easy for rescuers to shut off the engine/electrical system after a crash. The 928 had the key on the right of the steering column because Porsche was trying to sell this car to a wider audience and felt that this convention would make the car more saleable.
Those tires are the Toyo Proxies ST3. They are what I run on my 2005 Daytona edition Ram 1500. They are an excellent tire. Especially in wet weather. The only downside is that they're directional tires that make tire rotation a bit complicated/ more work. If you live where it rains a lot, they are worth the investment. My truck was always easy to hydroplane until I started buying those tires. I haven't even had a hint of hydroplaning since using them.
Audio is fine this way . Your inspection was very good . Possibly dirty oil ? Like you , don’t work on those . The more gadgets on your ride , the more to fix . All I know about Porsches is they take a lot of $$$ to fix . Welcome back , stay safe , have fun .
Having lived in Germany, the people who owned Porsche sport cars told me it was German efficiency to use all four limbs - one hand on the starter, one hand on the gear shift, one foot on the clutch and one foot on the gas. That was when they told me that the human body was insufficient because they ran out of appendages to manipulate the steering wheel so... (I leave it right there).
I like the audio on this video. In my opinion, the background noise makes the video feel much more real and natural. I’d never buy a used car without a pre-purchase inspection period, let alone a Porsche.
No, no, no Ray! All Porsche's have left side key from the old races: "As the start flag would be waved, the drivers had to jump in their cars and start them to race through the tracks. The Porsche engineers later on realized that changing the location of the ignition to the left would save time as compared to that required for the traditional car start in Le Mans race."
Pre-Inspection would have been nice for the prospective buyer. Just seeing the Accessory belt says it all. Hope they have the funds to get it to the well sorted level. The Term Lease Queen is ringing in my ears.
Buyer: "I'd like to get an inspection before I make you an offer." Seller: "I got a guy who will be here in an hour with cash." Buyer: "Take my money." And now we have another entertaining Ray 'Stupid Buyer' video.
The left side ignition is a throwback to early race cars where the drivers would run, hop in, start the car with the left hand and do the other stuff right handed. The 911s are still like this
Love the Cayenne Turbo S. Center shaft bearing, Oil cooler leaking causing drop in oil pressure - common failure. Love the color combo. Need Porsche PIWIS to actually get the codes in the car.
Audio is perfect now. Unlike the other channels. your narrative is crystal clear. Your oil code could easily be related to that oil bottle in the back seat. Maybe something left over from a missed oil change or running low from excess consumption.
Ivan at Pine Hollow had the Audi version of this platform with an air ride suspension problem...it was crazy engineering and a nightmare to diagnose and repair, so good luck with this one
I watched that series 🤣 (4 parts to that silly vehicle) it was like watching a soap opera, had to tune in to the next to see who was pregnant or who was having the affair 🤣. I felt bad for Ivan, that vehicle put him through hell. But he figured it out
Yeah, I saw it too,it was crazy how much the owner of that Audio Q7 had to pay in servicing that thing, let alone Ivans issue with dealership's missed diagnosis. I would be hesitant to by an european car built from 2018 and newer and especially not a Mini Cooper, just look at I Do Cars...
Cayenne Turbo S is a limited edition Cayenne,. My 2006 Cayenne Turbo S is one of 1000 sold in the USA. 520 HP 530 Ft Lb torque 4.5l twin turbo V8. I have 244K and the nicest car I've ever owned. AWD, 2 speed transfer case, lockable rear diff and center diff, variable height air suspension and variable rate shocks. By the way, Germany is not nor ever was a Right Hand drive country. UK is Right hand drive.
Dear microphone manufacturers; when you make built-in noise cancelling, make sure you add degrees of noise cancellation. In a lot of cases having "a little bit of noise cancellation" to prevent background noise from swamping the target audio is a good thing, whereas removing all background noise often makes the target audio sound terrible.
Agreed, the sound without noise cancellation works best for this channel. The background noise is actually good to hear what's happening, and you're close enough to the mic to come through clearly.
I have one of those 2012 Turbo. The most comfortable road trip vehicle I have ever owned. I actually drove by your shop in it back on Thanksgiving. The key is on the left from the racing days. You had to run and jump in the car, start it and go. Being on the left you could work the gear shift while starting it.
Sounds good! I do like some background noise...seems to bring the viewer in to the action going on...not sure why everyone apologizes for every little noise? If you're in a shop lets hear some shop type stuff!! If I'm at a lake let's hear the wind and the birds chirping lol!! Just my 2 cents! Keep up the good work Ray!
The key is on the left side from back in the racing days not because of RH drive. Back in the day you used to have to run and then jump in and start your race car to go. Porsche figured out it's quicker on the left hand side so your right hand can shift and steer
Always check for water under carpet on the Cayenne. The sunroof drainage gets clogged which causes water to build up in floor board and under door trim.
Porsche is known to have the key insert in the left side, it's on its heritage. Just like sporty Hondas have start button instead of turning the key. In almost all Europe (except UK and Ireland), we drive on the left side of the car. Also, Porsche has Bi-Xenon headlights. When high beams are lit up, the Xenon headlight cutout is removed to give full blast.
I don't know a lot about cars esp, Germain cars. But i like the way you admit to the customer that you are not not set up to work on such cars. That's an honest tech not out to take some one's money. Good for you.
Porches have left side ignition so that when the started yelled start your engines, the left hand was free to start while the right hand headed for the stick shift.
lol if you’re driving a Porsche and taking it to any shop with a dirt parking lot then you probably shouldn’t be driving one. They’re very much a pay-to-play vehicle.
Porsche tech training and required skills are much better than your average luxury car dealer. Porsche dealers are among the highest rated for service in the entire auto industry. Ray is a nice guy, but it's like saying you'd rather get heart surgery in Cuba than the United States.
The only used cars I've ever purchased is a one-owner and someone I knew or someone that a friend has recommended a seller that they've known personally and trusts. And always have a pre-purchase inspection completed.
Most likely all the oil DTC codes are related to the car being low on oil triggering those warning codes. The car is low on oil, because there is the oil leak which you found, coming from the oil cooler.
Yeah, a brake pedal interlock for the starter is pretty common on European models. Most flash up a dashboard reminder message if you try to start it without pressing the brake.
Since you didn’t turn off the air suspension now you have to take it to the dealer and get it recalibrated, do not lift these cars unless the air suspension is disengaged
Buses are required to stop for railroad crossings, open the service door, open the driver window, look and listen for trains then proceed if safe. Exceptions are if a police officer is directing traffic, follow his instructions. If train uses the same control devices as cars, as a light rail or trolly in a city environment busses do not have to stop if thye have the green light.
A 15 year old Porsche with 157k on the clock, this unit is a ticking financial time bomb. Run Forrest run! My wife's '12 X5 BMW made it to this point and then the financial drain began in earnest. Good luck with it.
@@gandhisFlipFlops I would challenge that!! I know a Porsche tech here in the UK who says they are junk!! Porsche do warranty repairs the customer doesn't even know about and don't tell them because they want to avoid the problems becoming public. After the warranty is out any problems are blamed on the customer for misuse, abuse or lack of maintenance.
The key on the left I believe goes back to aviation where it’s normal to have the starter on the left so that you can adjust fuel mixture and throttle with your right hand.
Howdy from Texas, Ray! Ignition switch is on left from racing days so that driver could get an extra bit of a head start when driving a manual transmission.
Back in the day the racers began the race outside their car on foot. The left handed key was thought to be faster as they jumped in and shifted into gear with their right
Correct that’s because when lemans first started the drivers used to have to run to the cars then when the driver jumped in the engineers figured to save time the driver would have an easier time/ more efficient start by having the left hand with the key to start the car and the right hand go straight to the shifter
Porsche puts the key starter on the left. It's their tradition that carries over from their racing program. Porsche put the starter switch on the left so the race drivers could save fractions of a second. The left hand can start the car and the right hand can get the car into gear. Porsche saw a way to try and save some time for the Le Mans race since the drivers are required to run to their car.
The key on the left is sport car heritage for Le Mans racing up until the 1970s. The ignition switch on the left allowed a Porsche driver to start the car while shifting into gear and steering off. Most of Europe is left hand drive. Very few countries on earth are right hand drive. Also Germany is drives the same way that Murica does.
Microphone audio is fine now. The key on that side is a "Porsche thing". That model is built on the same floorplan as the VW Taureg but has a great many unique parts and systems that make it a real sports SUV.
Porsches have had the key on the left side of the steering wheel because of the running Le Mans starts because it was quicker to start the car and go from the pits. That’s the reason why the keys on the left.
The key on the left of the steering column was done so that rescuers could easily shut the ignition/electricals off after a crash. It had nothing to do with LeMans or any other race. Porsche 928's had the key on the conventional right side of the steering column, as this was thought to make the car saleable to a wider audience. Many modern Porsche's have the key on the left as a historical "quirk", which it is thought would lead to greater sales. My '14 Cayman S has it on the left, and it makes no difference at all. Great video!
Drilled and Grooved discs is what we put on these machines but if your city driving you dont need them lately a lot of high performance cars etc have been sitting so you get seized Calipers if you can leave the handbrake off. If cars sitting up for a while.
inbalance is usually noticeable between 85 and 90. These alien cars are standard left hand drive. only there is an island near Europe where they like to drive on the wrong side. Not the best tyres for Porsche by the way and it really looks rough underneath with little care
I always cringe when I see "post purchase inspection". I just saw a Car Wizard video where someone paid top dollar for a used Audi that looked good. The person saw a little green drip and assumed antifreeze leak. He looked at it, the car had been totaled and put back together cheaply (someone welded the transmission linkage). The green drip was the transmission. It needed a transmission and a lot of other work that totaled something like $20,000 (more than the car was worth), and he recommended just junking it. Whoever put it back together after the wreck did their best to make it look good at first glance, but the signs were everywhere.
One of the best reasons why you should buy private seller, because you can write into bill of sale that vehicle title is clean and has not been crashed... For legal recourse.
The NA V8 from porsche suffer from bore scoring. Once it starts it will burn alot of oil until it just smokes like crazy. The V8 turbo had oil jets under the piston so cylinder washing is less likely.
That P1539 code looks consistent with a low oil level event in the past. If enough oil leaked out to cause low oil pressure and the "money light" to switch on, that would have prompted the previous owner to top it up, hence the bottle in the back seat area. So I think the fundamental problem has nothing to do with the oil pump, and everything to do with that self-lubricating oil cooler.
The red cannisters with the hoses attached to the crankcase and returning to the intake manifold are actually competition aftermarket pieces to the AOS (air oil separator) system. They replace the stock catch can. The black cap on the crankcase outlet is the heart of the AOS system. The recommended maintenance is to replace the entire AOS system every 75,000 miles. The black cap is only part of the stock AOS system, there is also a catch-can like piece too. I have heard that the cost to replace the stock AOS system from Porsche mechanics can be north of $4,500. If the diaphragm that is part of the back cap fails, it is possible to actually hydro lock the engine with the returning oil from the crankcase. You can replace the entire stock AOS system from Amazon with an after-market replacement $50-100. The filters for the red cannisters cost from about $150-200 each. Maintenance on this is to clean/replace the black cap with diaphragm and new filters for the catch-cans. Max cost on the installed system DIY would be from $350-500. At least that is what I have been told.
FWIW the parking brake is electronic and is operated by the little switch below the air vent on the left hand side of the dash. Foot on the foorbrake and push the button. Foot on the footbrake and pull the button to release. Similar to the EPB operation (but not location) on Jaguars.
10:00 noise cancellation ON when in the shop, especially when the concrete people are grinding away. noise cancellation OFF, when driving the car, in quiet environments. thanks
Thanks! This was my car and I appreciate being able to see it checked out.
Did you keep it?
I sure did. There is a more local garage here on the other side of the state that specializes in them. They are going to take care of the leaks for me next week.
It was hard to read the comments since the people don’t know my situation. This is the second Porsche that I have owned and have no problem putting the necessary funds into something I enjoy.

I had full intention of buying this vehicle and brought it to Ray because I appreciate the work he does as a mechanic.
I was thrilled to see it on his channel.
@jgolovich, I completely understand and I am happy for you!

Not to mention Ireland, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand and even some parts in India. So many more countries in Asia, Africa and South Pacific.
Cayenne owner here: for the vibration check the prop shaft centre bearing. Very common on the Cayenne.
He didn't check the propshaft or drive shafts or suspension joints/bushes/wheel bearings !!
Is that Porsche for the carrier bearing?
In cars that make a lot of money, these damages are inadmissible. Below the leaks are full.snadmissible...

Same with the macan
None of my American cars start without your foot on the brake. Cmon, Ray

That’s a standard observation in Northern California. Surprised it’s included at all.
Ray caught some of the disease though, on the test drive he was signaling after the maneuver
Porsche , BMW Mercedes , Tesla drivers down here use their own road laws !
🤣🤣🤣
Youre an idiot. A German specialist is a much better option lol
Most likely all the oil DTC codes are related to the car being low on oil triggering those warning codes. The car is low on oil, because there is the oil leak which you found, coming from the oil cooler.
Fancy cinematography. Oooooooo! 😃 Audio is good.
For $80K+, you would think, you wouldn't get any leaks.
Yeah, a brake pedal interlock for the starter is pretty common on European models. Most flash up a dashboard reminder message if you try to start it without pressing the brake.
BMWs leak from the hydro powered sway bars and the alternator bracket gasket $4.89 gasket and 8.1 hours on a BWM 750Li
10:30 Sound is very good; excellent.
Have a good day everyone, I'm glad you're back Ray, I missed you, your videos.
Always good to hear your voice on repairs, super informative...thanks for another great video
A Porsche does not LEAK! It could be marking it's territory
The sound is absolutely fine with noise cancellation off.
Since you didn’t turn off the air suspension now you have to take it to the dealer and get it recalibrated, do not lift these cars unless the air suspension is disengaged
Buses are required to stop for railroad crossings, open the service door, open the driver window, look and listen for trains then proceed if safe.
Exceptions are if a police officer is directing traffic, follow his instructions.
If train uses the same control devices as cars, as a light rail or trolly in a city environment busses do not have to stop if thye have the green light.
A 15 year old Porsche with 157k on the clock, this unit is a ticking financial time bomb. Run Forrest run! My wife's '12 X5 BMW made it to this point and then the financial drain began in earnest. Good luck with it.
Porche isn't like BMW or Audi etc. they are more reliable.
Ask my 86 audi 5000 how shes doin
The drain starts way sooner than that.

I would challenge that!! I know a Porsche tech here in the UK who says they are junk!! Porsche do warranty repairs the customer doesn't even know about and don't tell them because they want to avoid the problems becoming public. After the warranty is out any problems are blamed on the customer for misuse, abuse or lack of maintenance.
Shocked to find someone is even mentioned they purchased an X5 intentionally in public. Oof. Those aged like fine milk.
It's a good thing your customer bought this car between Florida floods.
Audio is perfect. 👍🏼
The key on the left I believe goes back to aviation where it’s normal to have the starter on the left so that you can adjust fuel mixture and throttle with your right hand.
Howdy from Texas, Ray! Ignition switch is on left from racing days so that driver could get an extra bit of a head start when driving a manual transmission.
Yup. Germany is the same as the US. Left hand drive.
When Porsche was racing at Le Mans it was faster to start the car with a left-hand so the right hand could be on the gearshift.
Back in the day the racers began the race outside their car on foot. The left handed key was thought to be faster as they jumped in and shifted into gear with their right
Correct that’s because when lemans first started the drivers used to have to run to the cars then when the driver jumped in the engineers figured to save time the driver would have an easier time/ more efficient start by having the left hand with the key to start the car and the right hand go straight to the shifter
Porsche puts the key starter on the left. It's their tradition that carries over from their racing program. Porsche put the starter switch on the left so the race drivers could save fractions of a second. The left hand can start the car and the right hand can get the car into gear. Porsche saw a way to try and save some time for the Le Mans race since the drivers are required to run to their car.
FINALLY....miss the daily dose of our favorite Rainman!
CAUTION..!! Dem pan bolts are soft,soft,soft !
The key on the left is sport car heritage for Le Mans racing up until the 1970s. The ignition switch on the left allowed a Porsche driver to start the car while shifting into gear and steering off. Most of Europe is left hand drive. Very few countries on earth are right hand drive. Also Germany is drives the same way that Murica does.
Microphone is fine. Porche dealer gonna have a field day wth this car !
Left hand key was for the race car drivers so they could start is as they hopped in
Greetings from Melbourne, on a cold (for us ) Winters evening
I'm in the Wimmera and it's about 0c here
I know in Perth it’s been 12-17. Currently 29.6 here in Florida
G'day there mate! Much love to Australia from the USA. And that's fair dinkem!
Foot on the brake to start makes sense for a company that still sells lots of manual(ish) transmissions.
Microphone audio is fine now. The key on that side is a "Porsche thing". That model is built on the same floorplan as the VW Taureg but has a great many unique parts and systems that make it a real sports SUV.
T-O-U-A-R-E-G
VW Touareg and audi Q model
Much much prefer the audio as you usually have it, Thanks for the content hope you had a good holiday.
Excellent in-car audio quality
Welcome back Ray,the sound is great with no problems.
When the car stops running, you have to get out and porsche it... (a dad joke for Father's day)
Porsches have had the key on the left side of the steering wheel because of the running Le Mans starts because it was quicker to start the car and go from the pits. That’s the reason why the keys on the left.
Audio is perfect, ray :D
Im no car mechanic but seems to me if they brought it in for leaks that you should prolly check fluid levels before you just take it for a test drive
Excellent audio!
The key on the left of the steering column was done so that rescuers could easily shut the ignition/electricals off after a crash. It had nothing to do with LeMans or any other race.
Porsche 928's had the key on the conventional right side of the steering column, as this was thought to make the car saleable to a wider audience.
Many modern Porsche's have the key on the left as a historical "quirk", which it is thought would lead to greater sales. My '14 Cayman S has it on the left, and it makes no difference at all.
Great video!
Run Forrest Run!!!
Couldn't agree more. Remember this just an overpriced VW.
Drilled and Grooved discs is what we put on these machines but if your city driving you dont need them lately a lot of high performance cars etc have been sitting so you get seized Calipers if you can leave the handbrake off. If cars sitting up for a while.
Best audio quality.
Ray, we mostly drive on the same side as you... sometimes we cross corners... for fun...but the stearingwheel are on the left, mostly...
inbalance is usually noticeable between 85 and 90. These alien cars are standard left hand drive. only there is an island near Europe where they like to drive on the wrong side. Not the best tyres for Porsche by the way and it really looks rough underneath with little care
"only there is an island near Europe where they like to drive on the wrong side "You forgot Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan etc !
At 9:10 I see two TWC services trucks at that stoplight. That's a different division of the company I work for in stl.
I always cringe when I see "post purchase inspection". I just saw a Car Wizard video where someone paid top dollar for a used Audi that looked good. The person saw a little green drip and assumed antifreeze leak. He looked at it, the car had been totaled and put back together cheaply (someone welded the transmission linkage). The green drip was the transmission. It needed a transmission and a lot of other work that totaled something like $20,000 (more than the car was worth), and he recommended just junking it. Whoever put it back together after the wreck did their best to make it look good at first glance, but the signs were everywhere.
I watched the same😢
One of the best reasons why you should buy private seller, because you can write into bill of sale that vehicle title is clean and has not been crashed... For legal recourse.
The NA V8 from porsche suffer from bore scoring. Once it starts it will burn alot of oil until it just smokes like crazy. The V8 turbo had oil jets under the piston so cylinder washing is less likely.
You popped that hood and I fell over. There is absolutely no room to investigate or work.
I love my Toyotas.
There might be a 'service position' where the hood opens further.
Lmao I know right, just made to "look good" basically.
@@Wheel_Horse Buddy the hood isn't the problem..
Toyota 4 the win. German cars are toys and should be treated as such, weekend cars.
Oh lord! 157k miles….run away…run away now!
That P1539 code looks consistent with a low oil level event in the past. If enough oil leaked out to cause low oil pressure and the "money light" to switch on, that would have prompted the previous owner to top it up, hence the bottle in the back seat area. So I think the fundamental problem has nothing to do with the oil pump, and everything to do with that self-lubricating oil cooler.
The red cannisters with the hoses attached to the crankcase and returning to the intake manifold are actually competition aftermarket pieces to the AOS (air oil separator) system. They replace the stock catch can. The black cap on the crankcase outlet is the heart of the AOS system. The recommended maintenance is to replace the entire AOS system every 75,000 miles. The black cap is only part of the stock AOS system, there is also a catch-can like piece too. I have heard that the cost to replace the stock AOS system from Porsche mechanics can be north of $4,500. If the diaphragm that is part of the back cap fails, it is possible to actually hydro lock the engine with the returning oil from the crankcase. You can replace the entire stock AOS system from Amazon with an after-market replacement $50-100. The filters for the red cannisters cost from about $150-200 each. Maintenance on this is to clean/replace the black cap with diaphragm and new filters for the catch-cans. Max cost on the installed system DIY would be from $350-500. At least that is what I have been told.
Porsche ignition switches are usually between the wheel and window, regardless of driver position
FWIW the parking brake is electronic and is operated by the little switch below the air vent on the left hand side of the dash. Foot on the foorbrake and push the button. Foot on the footbrake and pull the button to release. Similar to the EPB operation (but not location) on Jaguars.
28:29 - The parking brake pedal was located on the floor near the OBD2 port.
10:00 noise cancellation ON when in the shop, especially when the concrete people are grinding away.
noise cancellation OFF, when driving the car, in quiet environments.
thanks
