Great video, thanx. The belly pan can be left attached at the very back I've found, I just let mine hang down as I was working in a parkade with the suspension raised to maximum height.

@DIYDan did you otice any difference when driving after changing diff and transfer case fluids? On a different note, I get so sick of removing those underbody plastics guards for oil changes. I think I'm going to cut a hole where the oil plug is.
Appreciate you replaying so quickly. Thats a fair point, have you have any issue with the coolant pipe failure creating a weepy torque converter or transmission jump and periodically I can groaning under firm acceleration and what then feels like the front jumping. A little like Jeeps quadradrive when it needs friction modifier. Where I am there are no automatic transmission specialists.
@@DIYDanCars thank you Dan! I wanted to incrementally attack possible causes. I'll start with the CV joints, Change Front Diff oil( some mentioned Lucas heavy oil and 50% Oem),then see where I am.. Thank you for responding.. you are a tremendous help!!
Thanks for the video. I'm guessing the procedure is similar for the rear diff and transfer case. In fact, I don't think those have a belly pan blocking them so it should even be easier.
No problem! Check out my video on how to do the rear differential. I don't have a video on the transfer case yet, but its similar with a drain and fill plug.
The value given was from my shop manual. If you don't feel comfortable using that torque value, use what you feel comfortable with. I snugged mine up without using a torque wrench.
Is the belly pan there for aerodynamics and keeping the base clean? or just looks in your opinion ? I'm thinking of leaving mine off ? Not a good idea?
DIY Dan Thanks for the link. So how do you clean the container and the lines when switching to different differential or transmission fluids? Or even when using the bleeder for brake fluid? I’ve wanted a device like that for a while but I don’t know how to clean it properly to prevent the fluids from cross contaminating.
I flush mine out with parts cleaner that is available at any auto parts store. After cleaning it with parts cleaner I flush it with water and tip it over to get as much water out and let it air dry. I have owned my fluid pump for 5 years now. I couldn't imagine life without it.
Saw the tech manual, but I've read the the fluid is overfilled at factory and that you can't get as much back in as came out. As you will see below, I've done my research rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-955-957-2003-2010/1026036-2005-cayenne-turbo-front-and-rear-differential-fluid-capacities.html 1. On the front differential, I opened the fill plug first, and maybe 6-8 oz of fluid came out. This concerned me because I can only fill it until it starts to spill out. 2. Front and rear capacities are 1.1 qt and 1.5 qt = 2.6 qt total for both. I ended up being able to put in only 1.75 qts. total between front and back - I have 1.25 qts. left of the 3 qts I purchased. I'm concerned that both diffs are now low on oil.
I filled both of my differentials until fluid started coming out of the fill hole just as the manual states. You have nothing to worry about if you followed this procedure.
Did you drain the fluid? If so, were there a lot of metal shavings? Without being there, it's hard to determine what you need but it sounds like a new differential might be in your future.
Hi Dan, I have an 03 Turbo and have a peculiar issue, whilst driving at motorway ( highway speed) my gear readout changes from the gear its in to all the main indicators ie.. park,reverse,neutral,drive highlighted as if they are all engaged, have you come across this issue? Thanks Paul from Scotland
hello I have a Porsche cayenne turbo 2009 I've ran on transmission fuel 190k km and now im worried about changing the fuel because I'm afraid it will be bad for the transmission gear
Has anyone experienced noise like a loud thumping coming from the front differential? (Feels like someone is pounding on the underside of your acceleration pedal with a sledge hammer) TIA
Have you drained the fluid and looked at the drain plug? Curious if there are metal shavings in it. If you talk to any Porsche parts department they will tell you they have sold quite a few front differentials for the Cayennes (source Sunset). Unfortunately I see a front diff in your future.
As one of your other replies suggests, it may be the cardan shaft bearing. Google cardan shaft and jimi fix. This went wrong with mine but the sound seemed to originate under the centre console rather than the pedal. If it is the cardan shaft bearing, I highly recommend the jimi fix. It seems a bit of a dodgy solution, but in my opinion is far superior to the factory replacement and way cheaper. Cardan shaft bearing support failure is very common on Cayennes.

Thanks for the video great explanation. I realized the Cayenne I bought has missing covers.

Same here, I didn't even realize those side covers existed! LOL
Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻
No problem 👍
Thanks 👍🏻🙏

Great video, I've added it to my Porsche Cayenne Tech Tips playlist. I'm wondering what made you change it, were you getting any note or juddering?
Thanks! I like to change the fluids at regular intervals. It's cheap insurance in making sure the differentials last.
Appreciate you replaying so quickly.

Where I am there are no automatic transmission specialists.
I have a question. When making turns ( sharp / slow) I sometimes hear a knocking sound. Could this be my diff or my wheel bearings?
This could be a number of issues. I would check the CV joints and lower control arms before looking into the differential (expensive).

Jude Waddy did you ever figure this out? Have a same sound on my 06

Hi how did you torque the fill plug? Clearance seems too small to fit a torque wrench in there. also the torque figures seem high - a little scary?
The value given was from my shop manual. If you don't feel comfortable using that torque value, use what you feel comfortable with. I snugged mine up without using a torque wrench.
Is the belly pan there for aerodynamics and keeping the base clean? or just looks in your opinion ? I'm thinking of leaving mine off ? Not a good idea?
Hi Bruno I think It's there for aerodynamics and protection. Definitely don't leave it off!
Hi good video Wich oil using? Thanks
Mobil 75w90.
DIY Dan...... thank you very much great video
No problem! Good luck!
Where did you get the “J” shaped filled thing with the valve switch that you hooked up to your brake bleeder?
It came with my Motive fluid pump. There is a link in the description on where to get one if you're interested. I love mine!
DIY Dan Thanks for the link.

Thank you so much for the reply and sharing your method.
No problem! Comments like this keep me doing it!
God this was so much easier on the 955 than my 958 👀 talk about "clearance issues"
Hi how much actual fluid did you put in? I plan on buying porsche fluid so don't want to over buy. thanks
The amount of fluid required is given at the 16 second mark in this video. Did you skip over it?
Saw the tech manual, but I've read the the fluid is overfilled at factory and that you can't get as much back in as came out. As you will see below, I've done my research

Dan my front differential is slipping. i hear a zing noise when first drive it. What i do to fix it.

Sorry Paul I haven't come across that issue yet. Hopefully I don't! Hope it's an easy fix for you.

Go with what you feel comfortable with. If you think it's best not to change it, then don't change it.
@@DIYDanCars thank you
How many liters is needed
It's in the video at the 16 second mark.

Hello, I sometimes hear that when making sharp slow turns. I'm researching that as well
I had that issue and it was a center support bearing. Sounded like a jackhammer as it got worse.
As one of your other replies suggests, it may be the cardan shaft bearing. Google cardan shaft and jimi fix. This went wrong with mine but the sound seemed to originate under the centre console rather than the pedal. If it is the cardan shaft bearing, I highly recommend the jimi fix.

Imagine having to do all this just to change the engine oil.
No wonder it costs so much from the dealer to service....
"Go ahead and."
