NEW EPSODES EVERY THURSDAY 12pm/est! If you cant wait for the next episode and want to learn more about the Yippie Cayenne, head over to FCP Euro to find out more - yippiecayenne.fcpeuro.com/
@@dct124 We absolutely love the 957 Turbo, if you're looking at a Gen 1. If you want simplicity the VR6 is tried and true and obviously cheaper. If you want something newer we like the 958 Diesel as well.
Great build!! I’m so inspired to try and do the same thing…only a few problems. I don’t have a distribution center at my beckoned call, I don’t have a lift, I don’t have $14,000 cash to spend on top of a $13,000 car. So I’ll just live vicariously through you.
We think you will be pleasantly surprised by not only this series but the rest of 2022 TH-cam programming we have planned for you all! Appreciate the support Mike!
A good check of Rennlist and Renntech forums would give you all you need to know and check on an older Cayenne and the best fixes. I know you're trying to use all FCP parts but replacing the compressor is the last thing you want to do, first is to just replacing the compressor piston rings from Ebay user Bagpipingandy, he's in the UK and ships fast and for $30 you can have your compressor running again instead of spending over $500. I did my compressor 8yrs ago and it's still running like new.
Rennlist is still a great resource we tap into often Mark! Certainly viable to refresh a compressor instead of replacing, that said since we end up replacing this one with a new one off our shelves, when we later hydrolocked that brand new compressor - it was covered and replaced under our Lifetime Replacement Gurantee :-) little extra insurance there haha
Just purchased a 2008 Black Turbo as well with 82k on the clock....been getting boxes delivered for the past month from you guys! Just completed trans fluid service, F/R diff fluid service, transfer case service, spark plugs/ignition coil, AOS replacement, valve body replacement, driveshaft flex disc kit and a bowdon cable for the driver's door. Tackling the coolent pipes, cap/reservior and the water pump/thermostat kit. Going between 3"-5" lift kit w/air & 33"/35" tires on an 18" wheel, yada, yada, yada... Will def be following the build!
Going down a similar path to what you'll witness here Jonathan! We appreciate the support and happy we can help you bring your 957 back to proper health - super satisfying once everything new is swapped on.
Thanks, guys. My 957 is a 09 Cayenne S with 117K miles and of course, the driveshaft center bearing recently failed, but a fairly easy DIY using the aftermarket two-piece bearing kit. I hope to keep it for a long time. The original build quality of the interior and exterior was excellent and it's still tight and free of rust only because it lives in Florida. Great idea in the future to turn it into an off-road tow and camping rig.
M. Cooper , luckily like you said the driveshaft center bearing is an nice straight forward DIY, we had to upgrade our to the JXB Performance version (should be on our site soon)! These rigs honestly have so much potential to become anything you want it to be, keep us posted how your 957 journey goes!
Check the PCV diaphragm and the check valve diaphragms. When mine was smoking, I replaced all of these (all torn at 130k miles) and the smoking and oil consumption went to zero. Also, the check valves prevent turbos boost from blowing back into the crankcase - contributing to oil leaks. Cjheap. Takes two seconds to change them. Do it now.
Awesome first episode, can't wait for more! It's nice seeing the process all the good and bad haha. Driving these Cayennes especially off-road is just a blast!
There will be no shortage of both _good_ and *_bad_* in this series for you Geno 😂 Glad you enjoyed ep 1, new Episodes every Thursday at 12pm for the next 6 weeks!
Wow - lots of issues compared to my 09 Cayenne GTS. I just replaced the plugs and coils (had a coil fail, and knew that when one goes, the rest should also be replaced) - every coil had a crack. Might need a new battery - very hard start at -15 F after sitting a couple days. Another reason you might get the "Chassis Failure" is a broken height sensor for the air suspension (I have this issue - just need to get around to replacing them). Broken/cracked vacuum lines seem to be a common issue - I've had a few issues with lines for the emissions control. All Porsche owners should be familiar with the issues with drain plugs getting blocked, and then water accumulating.
The problems certainly kept stacking up for us Johnathon. We have broken a few level sensors off-roading and 100% can cause the chassis system failure, nicest part about that one is how cheap and easy the fix is! Hope you're enjoying your GTS!
Don’t forget to update the ELV steering module - believe me - every amazing beast of a cayenne turns into a paper weight once this module stops working - top build !!
Great Project! As a 2006 Gen1 Turbo owner with nearly 170K on mine...I've got a good list of "what to watch recommendations for you" But for the moment I'm going to go binge watch EP2 -> EP5 so that I don't spam you! Ok...just one tip....replace that driveshaft support donut. Don't think. Just do it!
😂Lucky for little Elise that door ding was the LEAST of the Yippie Cayenne's woes and problems haha. Atleast she's holding a wrench at 1.5 yr old, that means she will actually be able to help "soon"
I bought a VW Touareg for all the same reasons you bought the Porsche a couple of months before the COVID-19 lock down. I only put 500 miles on the car that year, because after spending thousands on it, it would randomly quit running. Once towed back home it would run fine! LOL!
Excited to see the build series. I’m in the market for an E1 and been shopping for one for a while. Torn between a 955 or 957, but slowly leaning toward the 957 just cause it’s newer.
We went through the same decision making process when deciding on this project last year, ultimately you can see where we landed haha. The 957 Turbo just checked every single box! Let us know what you end up with AR1!
If we get 100k views on one of the episodes we will make Ben and Mike drink a Pizza Smoothie, and will post the video for you all to see! Good idea Rasco88
I want to say stay tuned to find out... but admittedly we did not even though we should have - it will likely be a DIY on our channel in the near future!
Hi i will be buying a 2009 cayenne S next week. 92k miles. What do you recommend i should have checked out for issues first and foremost? Should i take it in for a tune up? Any advice will be very much appreciated.
I've considered this type of build for my 2009 Cayenne GTS (Marine Blue Metallic)...but I pamper it. I got it 2 years ago with 45K and I just hit 60K. However, I recently found an 09 Cayenne S with 115K on it...hmm...🤔 maybe I should have a designated road Cayenne and an off-road Cayenne? lol Looking forward to binge-watching the rest of your episodes!
@@fcpeuro Yes!!! Very excited to see how the issues are addressed, to make an awesomely expensive, and capable overlanding Porsche. I know those words should not go together, that is for the average person. But when you consider the Transsyberia Cayenne, the Dakar history, the Rally Heritage, and the 959.. I'd say, you're in "GOOD HANDS."

Which Cayenne would you recommend to use with FCPEuro? I'm looking to trade in my E350 Mercedes for a Cayenne.

@@fcpeuro Cool I like the 957 Turbo. I'll have to look into the diesel. Never owned a diesel anything.
Ujjjkkkk
Jikjj
"Yippee Cayenne" is the best project car name I've heard in a very long time.
Should have seen the fun we had coming up with the options Josh haha! Glad you dig it.
There should be a TH-cam award for this kind of creativity
Great build!! I’m so inspired to try and do the same thing…only a few problems. I don’t have a distribution center at my beckoned call, I don’t have a lift, I don’t have $14,000 cash to spend on top of a $13,000 car.

Cant wait to watch this all!!!!!!!! Chris rudnick sent me
I have a 08 GTS. You are making me want to do a Safari build on it.
You've gotta do it Troy! We were torn between a GTS or a Turbo for this project - what color is yours?
@@fcpeuro Mine is black and the window trim is blackas well. I do not have the time to work on it myself. I would probably have Kelly Moss do it.

Just bought one of these 2008 non turbo S 82k miles so lets have some fun!
Time to get at it John!
Awesome start on an offroad Cayenne! I cant wait till the next episode

It certainly will become more Epic as the series comes out haha. Thanks for watching Blake!
2:03 CAN WE PLEASE SEE BEN & MIKE DRINK PIZZA?!?
If we get 100k views on one of the episodes we will make Ben and Mike drink a Pizza Smoothie, and will post the video for you all to see! Good idea Rasco88
I have a 957tts and this is my fav gen Cayenne! Gonna binge watch to catch up😁
I would like to see brake vacuum pump replacement and engine mounts
We will show the Vacuum pump in the next episode hani hakmi, the engine mount come into play much later on... but youll find out why that is haha
LETS FREAKIN GOOOOOOOOO
Did you guys replace the starter? Can you guys show that if you did?
I want to say stay tuned to find out... but admittedly we did not even though we should have - it will likely be a DIY on our channel in the near future!
Awesome!! Can’t wait to follow along 😊

Jacob, you 100% need to get that 09 S and build it up. Just don't follow too closely to what Ben did...😅
Everyone here talking about the basic maintenance but why no one mentioned the biggest issue in this engine which is the cylinder wall scoring?
great video. I hope you posted how much the parts all cost when all done. :)
We are making sure Ben is mentally ready for that!
Great video, how many miles are on this thing?
Yippie Cayenne has about 130k on it!
What’s starts with s and ends with x ????????🤔🤔🤔🤒🤒🤒
Guys I really hoped you detailed the engine removal, no content on TH-cam on the process.
Once episode 6 comes out it should satisfy some of your need :)
@@fcpeuro all or nothing guys come on.
Wish I could do this need to save up $$$$
Nice! That’s a real suv beast 🦾🔥
Proper SUV stuff going on here ! 😁
5:10 lololol

I hate YOU!!!!!
For teasing me like that!!! lol
Hopefully you got your fix Kiss Kiss, tune in next Thursday for Ep 2!
