If you ALSO RAISE the seat the 10m triple square is very easy to get at. So in addition to leaning the seat forward while you slide fore and aft also raise it. Thank you Kevin. Great tips. I really appreciate this. Used my jump box and this all worked out fine for me.
Did this job today. Thanks for the tips! One thing that I have not seen mentioned, the batteries have a vent port on both sides. I took the plug out of the 2nd vent port on the factory battery and transferred it to the new battery. Otherwise, just as you described.
At least they didn't bury in the bowels of the dashboard - congratulations Porsche/Audi, you made replacing a battery only somewhat ridiculously complicated instead of full-on insanely complicated.
Interesting, I was just watching a battery replacement video on car care kiosk for my 2013 958 (thankfully out of curiosity and not necessity). This video is much more in-depth! FYI I work for Advance Auto corporate in Raleigh. Thanks for all of the great videos! I’ll be changing the transfer case fluid tomorrow based on your tutorial. I’m going to talk to the Battery Category Manager to see if they should request VIN number to ensure customers get the right battery on the first trip!
It comes up with Sorry we don't have recommendations for for this vehicle. I didn't use the vin I wasn't driving the car when I went to the store. But from that response it doesn't look like that would make a difference. Thanks for watching and I hope my transfer case video helps you out.
@@KevinsEuropeanGarage I know we have other parts categories where VIN is required to get the correct part since some manufacturers change course during production years. Hopefully it’s in the ACES data we get from the supplier to help other customers in the future. Thanks again Kevin!
One step missed, and I missed it too until I read it on Rennlist. And I'll have to go back in to finish the job. Your AGM H8 most likely has two vent holes on either side. You are using the negative side hole, but there is, most likely, also a positive side vent hole that needs to be plugged up. The positive (red) plastic cover that came with your battery has a little red plug attached to it (to be broken off) to plug up the unused hole. This way, only the negative side vent hole is being used. Luckily, I found the plastic positive terminal cover in my trash. Now I "think" I can just remove the seat bolts, tilt the seat and pop the cover and get the plug in without removing the battery again, since the hole is very near the top of the batt. Just gotta be careful not the drop the red plug in the battery compartment or I may have to pull the batt out again.
I don’t know if you did this BTS and forgot to mention but you’re supposed to program the new battery in the ECU. This is done so that the voltage regulator does not overcharge or undercharge the battery. It might fry some control modules as well if you’re not too careful. Just a FYI
I think we should let everyone know that this is one of the heaviest car batteries I've ever picked up. Plus it's in a kind of awkward position. Take your old battery with you to the parts store because there were 3 different batteries listed. one smaller one longer and one just right.
So I changed the battery after still having the original for 8 years. It was working fine. I decided to switch the battery because the voltage was going up to 14.3 or 14.4 and I thought that was kind of high and maybe the alternator is working to hard. After the battery change the voltage it is the same. Is that normal? I was hoping for the voltage to drop into the 13s. Is it because I didn't "register" the battery through software?
Kevin, thanks a bunch for putting this video together. I'm not very mechancal but by watching your video (multiple times, I might say) I was able to replace the battery in my Cayenne. One question I have is this: after I replaced the battery, I found that the lumbar control and the control for the front of the seat (that expands the seat) are not responding. I must have inadvertantly disconnected those lines. Any advice on what I should be looking for to fix this?
There are three connectors for the seat. Kevin didn’t disconnect them in this video, at 3:35 you can see those wires come down into the carpet. Double check those two power seat connectors, (DO NOT DISCONNECT THE YELLOW/AIR BAG CONNECTOR)
Thanks. Porsche says that the QR-Code of the battery needs to be added to the car, so that the car will sense that the battery are replaced. They said that the reason is that if the battery gets bad, it closes som functions to save the battery- and these functions that are turned off need to be restored. I cannot find anything of that information in the videos I have looked at so far. Does anyone have any information about that?
I've been wondering what the switch/button on the B pillar is for by the driver's door, haven't been able to figure that out. Any ideas? AND BTW - your videos have sure helped me save some money!!
That button shuts off the interior sensors for the alarm. Use it if you're locking your car and you've got pets or kids in there (or if you're chilling in the back seat waiting for someone).
Hi Kevin, I have enjoyed watching your videos. They are concise and to the points of importance. Forgive me asking a question on the battery replacement. Do we need to register the new battery? If so, do you happen to know what to do? I am thinking to purchase the Foxwell NT809TS scanner. They said it can do battery registration. I am not sure if registration is a must or what does it do. Thanks in advance.
What model year Cayennes is this applicable for? Guessing 2011-2014 since yours is a 2013? I have a 2012 S Hybrid and the dealership is quoting me $931.16 battery and labor. I mean, I can see it's hard to get to, but that sounds crazy to me. Is it because mine's a hybrid?
Hi! Do you have a list of what all tools I need to change it?? I’m kinda sorta maybe mechanically inclined enough to change it. The shop wants over $600 I’m just labor to change it. Thank you
Bro, advice please. Anyone I pulled my 2014 cayenne into a Firestone tire to have the battery changed. Woulda done it myself but because of the location & the fact I don’t have tools I went with the professional. That was on a Friday and we are into Sunday and they still can’t get my car to start after changing the battery
12:04 how do i reset the “emergency brake” warning signal after battery replacement. Didnt have this warning before and i have fully checked to make sure emergency brake is not on and fully released? Will it reset on its own?
@@KevinsEuropeanGarage just watched this video. Good job! I had to change my fathers Cayenne battery a few months ago in a parking lot when he was at the store… and it sucked. It was an 09 but exact same as this video. I try to do one (1) video a week but it’s hard. Maybe I need to buy more cars. Congrats on 3K subs! That was quick.
In a parking lot must have been a pain in the ass. More cars more fun. I keep on toying with the idea of getting another car. A Convertable would be fun. Thank on the 3k subs I’m surprised it grew like it did while I taking a break.
@@KevinsEuropeanGarage It was terrible in the parking lot with limited tools for sure. Your channel grows because you have awesome content! Get the convertible!
this 2012 i have must be possessed. The driver seat will not go far enough forward to get over the rear bolts. its unreal! the seat moves! but the seat will not move far enough forward. Nothing is in the tracks its crazy
@@KevinsEuropeanGarage This is not the case there is a small flap of material at the front of the seat which has plastic round it :) If you open this up there is a negative terminal disconnect point ... Save s a lot of trouble if you just want isolate the battery..

That sounds about right $250 for the battery and 1 hr of labor or more depending on the garage you go to and where you live. Can save yourself a few bucks but you need a set of triple square short sockets to make it easy the normal size ones get in the way a little.
This is the *only* video to watch - the other videos for Cayenne battery change suck. Great video!
Yes this one is the best
I really appreciate all the work you go through to produce these videos. You saved me some real money on the fluid change videos. Thank you.
Thanks for watching

At least they didn't bury in the bowels of the dashboard - congratulations Porsche/Audi, you made replacing a battery only somewhat ridiculously complicated instead of full-on insanely complicated.
thank you. I followed your instructions including battery selection and bits and it worked perfectly. much appreciated
You must reset the battery health in the ecm to identify the battery has been replaced.
This has to be done! If you can't do it yourself, you need to take it to a shop to be coded

What exactly are you talking about? How do you program the ECU for a new battery -= and if that was so important wouldn't Kevin have covered that?
This is an important step.
Great to see you back!
Thanks!
I subscribed for the 996 content but I’m really glad to see that you dropped a new video!
Thanks I have a some 996 stuff coming in the near future. I’ve got the parts sitting there just have to find the time.
Just imagine how much do you have to pay for the labor replacing a battery
Kevin, will hooking a battery maintainer to the under hood pins keep the battery data active fir the new battery?
Thank you brother....this was very helpful....all the best!!!!💪🏽
