Ok. I just binged watched Ep2. With intake cover and valve covers off I would have recommended changing the thermostat and the starter too. My '06 Turbo also had several coolant tubes at the back in a special distribution device. It breaks and leaks. Easy change while all the top stuff is off Great work so far. Did i mention the driveshaft donut. Change it. LOL
I was going to buy one of these to do an overland build, but now seeing what a pain they are to work on, I'm second questing if that would be a good idea.
@@fcpeuro It's metallic black (I think it's called "Basalt Black"). Other car submarined under the Cayenne - lots of damage to the aero kit and bumper, surrounds for sport exhaust, and who knows what else... I figure at least $5K in parts and labor, plus car rental and other expenses (the RAV4 for the rental is a lot newer and has some toys that aren't in the Cayenne - but it's missing things like seat heater and steering wheel heater [big deal when it's cold in Montana], and I still like my Cayenne better).
So funny you guys are doing all these videos - I JUST picked up an 08 Cayenne Turbo, basically this exact same car! I'm in Colorado, come to Colorado! I want to learn about how to fix any and everything on my Cayenne like you guys are showing. Please please make as many videos with this as you can. I'll even pay for it! lol4
We have plenty on the way for you ImHereLive - this will be a 7 episode series, and we will continue to add to our DIY library on these cars. There is no better home for a Cayenne than the playground of Colorado - we envy that! Episodes 4-6 take place there , so stay tuned.
I am seeing 5W-40. Isn't OW40? I do prefer 5w-40 but I am scared to do the change. I live in KSA the weather there is just like Arizona, when I change the oil it looks very light just like water 💦.
Hi guys! I have a problem with my 2009,957 3.6 V6 petrol Cayenne. I have the code P12A2-001, Fuel Pressure Sensor,value to high. This is the only code that appears.Changed the sensor and it pops up in 3 miles every time after the testing. But,i saw this problem with the gas tank cap and I recall that one time after I filled up the tank the check engine light went off for a few miles. The gas tank cap is the original one,It could be related to my problem too? What do you think? The car starts and runs well,with no problems,no smoke and the consumption is normal! Thank you for your answer!
I am so close to buying a 2009 for about $15k. Seems ok but the off idle throttle response seems a little flat. Also, I drive supercharged Range Rover v8, a Ford 2003 Lightning and a 2018 Z06 so is there turbo lag?
Any chance you guys will do anything for the 958? I'm in Colorado and just got a '14 CS that I'm using for overlanding and adventures. Would love more DIYs for the next gen
We did check for it but dont think we recorded that bit on the boroscope, that said after this series we have an entire teardown coming on one of these engines so stay tuned for that!
Pretty sure those are 350mm brake rotors on the front, and not 390mm. The largest offered on the 957s were the 380mm, and they won't fit the 18" wheels you put on later in this series. Otherwise, well done! Just looking at it while diagnosing issues with my recently purchased 2010 957 Turbo.
Not all that familiar with the cayenne, does it use regular ole free air for the compressor? I know my Macan uses nitrogen which makes any servicing a pita for the diy'er.
Hi Patro, we apologize greatly as we do not provide any mechanical services outside of our DIYs we film. However if you ever have any questions, be sure to contact our service team at service@fcpeuro.com!
@@fcpeuro Ok thanks. I have a 2014 Porsche Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition what type of front and rear rotors do you recommend that I order from your website?

This first big batch was under $3,000 of parts off our site- some big items in there though like compressor and valve block. By the end it ended up being more but I'm sure that'll make sense to you after you see episode 4 😑
the oil leak usually come from the valve cover gaskets. I have to do the same thing to mine but now I'm skeptical due to the horrible placement of the bolt in the back. YIKES!!!!
Atleast Ben and Mike's struggle let you know it's possible with some patience and wonky work arounds haha. The culprit of this oil leak ultimately landed blame on the upper oil pan, which is not nearly as doable as the valve cover gaskets 🙄Let us know how yours goes!
@@fcpeuro I’ll order the complete kit from you guys including coil packs and plugs. Porsche wants $1500 just to do the head gaskets alone!!. I have a 14 GTS
Check the upper oil pan for the oil leak. The early dfI V8s had steel bolts and don’t leak but the later ones had aluminum bolts and they leak. You can try snugging the bolts up but ultimately resealing the upper pan is the fix. Digging the videos!
It 100% was the upper oil pan as we later figured out. We had plans to properly fix it... but as you'll find out the week , we had a change of plans ^.^
I have a 2009 GTS with 55.000 miles which gives me P0421 error messages saying the front cats life is below treshold, but emissions are ok.....Really annoying. Any ideas?
😂sound like simple thing but yeah the grill really messed with me.Nearly to break it to a piece.Thank you man,you save my Rm30 to change my headlamp bulp
I’d fix one thing, & the next time I’d try to drive the Touareg something else would fail. LOL! I spent several thousand dollars in parts, I couldn’t afford being broke down on the side of the road, I sold the car for $1,000. The person that bought the car replaced a couple thousand dollars in parts, but the car would still quit running. My suspension went up & down on command, with no problem, I replaced all front suspension ball joints, control arms, bushings, broken vacuum lines, battery, power steering pump, high pressure hose, spark plugs, fluids, filters, rear hood struts, fuses, vacuum pump… then the gears stripped in the right side mirror, & the headlights started doing weird things, and then the suspension would lift the car when the car would get to 80 mph… oh yeah, then the dash stopped working, but the sound system was great. The Touareg only had 140,000 miles on it, body & interior looked almost like new. I bought a 1997 Toyota 4Runner, with 275,000 miles, replaced the fuel injectors, all vacuum hoses, & lines, VC gasket it just keeps running. I have a 2007 Mercedes Benz C230 Sport with 250,000 miles on it that is resting while I freshen up a 3.0 to install in it.
Blown air shock or blown air line cab cause air compressor to go bad due to keep pumping air all times. Same on Cadillac escalade. Blown shocks cause air pump to go bad.
Totally manua4life - we think that original compressor had a hard life, woulda been to coincidental for its for series of failures to be 50 miles into its new life with us! Lucky for us the struts have been good, but the valve block and compressor both needed replacing.
@o8600o comments that the mistake you made in this video is having those two handsome guys do the talking and distract from what they actually did on the car. 😬
Apologies for the cr*p from Stuttgart by a German engineer! Had a 997.1 4S, worst car I ever owned. Myriads of avoidable design failures. Never again. Seems that the 957 follows that theme.
They did themselves no favors in simplifying this package, it was not engineered with servicing (especially DIY) in mind. That said once these things are refreshed you should get another happy 100k out of it! Do you still own any Porsche's now?

Our pleasure!
You need to make a costs break down of all of the work you've done
"No frkn pizza no frkn beer"...give that man his bonus'! Love the videos guys.
Love the video! Can't wait for the rest of the DIY videos - I'm missing my '09 GTS, as it's in the body shop after being rear-ended at a stop light.
More DIY's to come - bummer on getting rear ended , especially that nice GTS bumper :( What color is your 957?

Nice job keep it clean and simple. I’m wondering if both charge air pipes need to be drained? Assuming twin turbo.
Good vid. I have an '03 S w/ some overland mods. Looking forward to seeing the rest.
I like it! Taking a used car and fixing it like new!
Glad you like it Kid - The goal is to get it to be a 110% Cayenne by the end! Old used cars deserve love too :)
Great series! I think just the rubber seal can be replaced on the gas cap if it's the same as the Touareg.
Glad youre enjoying the Series so far Fred! You can replace the seal itself as an option as well!
Great job guys
12:18 “no freaking pizza, no freaking beer” my favorite part.
P.S.
Mike deserves more pizza.. Ben can you make that happen?!
hahahaha - He's workinnn on it. We promise the finale will have a plethora of Pizza AND Beer.
I read this comment as he was saying it lol
Awesome video, made me decide I want the VR6 Cayenne now instead lol
There is something so nice, tried, and true about the VR6 - it was a contender going into this project to keep it simple stupid!
The cheapest Porsche could be the most expensive 😊 Great video, Porsche mechanics have patience
I feel like im watching imitation ben
Almost five years ago I was thinking of getting a used Cayenne, I got a used GTI instead. This video made me feel better about that choice.
Depends what year GTI ;-) Its never to late to join the Cayenne fam Omer!

No surprise you needed a new compressor if the relay was stuck on
