Nathan's voice is very therapeutic even when discussing all the things that can fail on my vehicle.
Haha. I agree.
Excellent video, the rest of the TH-cam automotive world could learn a lot from your style of presentation👍🏻
Great video ! I just got my first cayenne and I’m learning a lot from your videos , definitely I’m getting educated on the subject.
Woooow I just discovered your videos and I am so sorry for myself that I haven’t seen them before … I spend so much money trying to solve the “ block valve “ and more … tanks for your videos Man U King
Brilliant , many thanks . Mac
very informative. Thank you for sharing
Thank YOU for watching!
Great video! Subscribed.
Excellent video and very clearly explained.
Glad you think so!
This whole series is excellent. Thank you!
Good recommendation to replace the two little headlight wire harnesses!!
After the wire insulation on the little wires gets brittle and breaks off, then the wires inside your headlight will to the same.
Wish I had known that five years ago....
Nice video! Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub, more to come!
Total Pro ❤

Really useful, buying those headlights harness. I have just put a starter on my shopping cart.
Glad you found it useful Jun Yamog and already able to help you fix your Cayenne! Let us know if you need anything else.
@@fcpeuro I'm currently looking for headlight gaskets for my 957 with zenon headlights and also headlight gaskets for my 996TT also with zenon. Got gaskets for my daughters 986 but I haven't been able to find them for my cars.
Thanks a lot for the valuable information, you are amazing
The VW Porsche Master no doubt.
Another fantastic video about 955 and 957. Especially liked the air suspension discussion, as it applies to my '09 GTS. I also like the discussion of "the Porsche dealership way" vs. "there is another less expensive way". Looking forward to the how-to videos for the Cayenne - keep them coming!
Glad you enjoyed the video Johnathon, we are excited to get a Cayenne project car to be able to do a bunch of DIY's on for you guys soon!
How's that GTS treating you? Considering getting one.
@@admranger I love it - it had issues when I bought it (sagging head liner, parking break is sensitive), and it's still got some issues I need to address (windshield washer does not pump, emissions leak code) - but I've already put over 10K miles on it, and still say any day in the Porsche is a good day. With snow tires on 19" rims, it handles snow and ice like a champ, and the GTS power and sound in sport mode is amazing.
Thx👍👌
You're welcome Raphael 👍
Great video! I've got some suspension issue that I'm trying to diagnose. The rear sags... and I'm looking for the most affordable fix. I have a question about some warning lights. I have a set of 4 lights up front on the upper dash and a matching set I see when I look towards the back of the vehicle. They aren't always red and I can't seem to figure out when they turn on or why. I've searched and searched and can't find what they are indicating. Any help is appreciated.
Any changes in towing capacities with the coil spring conversion?
I was looking at the The Definitive Guide To First-Generation Porsche Cayenne Brakes (955 & 957) that's on FCP's site and there was no mention of the 2008's GTS and Turbo brakes being 368mm/358mm. These brakes are the largest that can be fit under 18" wheels (off roaders care) they are also the same brakes found on the R50 Touareg. Sorry I've geeked out on the 368mm brakes since I found a deal on the calipers to use on my q7. Also please add the EBC Yellow and Orange brake pads to your site Yellow EBC: DP41835R/DP41836R Orange EBC: ED91835/ED91836
This is excellent. But air suspension certainly is not one of the most common options on the S at all
thanks for the info am also have a problem with my porsche cayenne 2004 suspension the air compressor not coming on its new fuses are ok change the relay the the level module is not turing on the relay can someone help or leap me into some direction please.
Is it possible to add factory air to a non equipped cayenne? Looking at most used cayennes, air suspension equipped models are hard to find.
Man this Page is a GOD SEND! I currently get a AIR SUSPENSION FAULTY error on the dash of my 955 CTT but mechanic says they can’t find an issue…..ideas?
Did you figure it out
@@prabeeshsidhu i didn’t…
hi, do you know why the lowest high dosnt work?? the screen says "not allowed" when i try to use the lowest high
I have a 2004 cayenne s and my blinker fuse and break light went out and I changed the break light bulb and that’s fine but when I put in my new blinker fuse for the left the side the front and back turning light bulbs stay on no matter what position the lever is in or even if the car is off with no power those lights Stay on so I have to take the fuse out for now and on the dash it just blinks fast like it’s a bulb issue ???? Can you help me please 🤞🙏
Good video. Do you like Brembo or do you prefer OEM? I think OEM has too much dust. 330MM for V6 Base for sure. It’s confusing at first since there are 4 variations of rotors.
We prefer using Zimmerman Rotors, and if you don't like the amount of dust from the OEM pads we suggest either the ATE or Textar Ceramic Pads, both are available for the 330mm rotors! If you have any specific Porsche Questions and want extra insight though feel free to email our Porsche Catalog Manager - eric.hirschberg@fcpeuro.com Rotors: www.fcpeuro.com/products/porsche-volkswagen-disc-brake-rotor-front-left-cayenne-touareg-7l6615301d#fitment Pads - www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-brake-pad-set-ate-95535193907
@@fcpeuro Thank you
Do 955 and 957 Turbo and Turbo S vehicles use different calipers or just different caliper mounts? If one were to want to run 350mm rotors on a 955 Turbo S or 957 Turbo/TurboS in order to install 18in wheels for better off road tire options what would be required?
No, same mounts for everything. Larger breaks need larger wheel clearance.
It's common to put the larger breaks on previously base vehicles.
I have 2005 Cayenne and replaced the wiring harness for my Xenon lights with all new replacement headlights and ballasts that are programmed. After 2 months, my Left low beam stopped working, while all other lights; signal, high beam are still working. If it's a connection issue with the harness, how can I properly ensure a tight connection after repeated attempts to slide and lock the whole light still does not correct the low beam issue? BTW, I replaced the bulb as well and it still did not fix the problem.
If the xenon bulb worked when the ballast and harness were first replaced, but after a period of time stopped working then either the connection could be loose, as stated, and should be checked, a part could have failed, or the issue could lie farther down the line in the electrical circuit which would require more in depth electrical diagnostics. A small audible click can usually be heard when making connections. I would begin by checking that the replaced parts are in good condition, installed properly and securely, and the wires and connections look clean and haven't been damaged or are corroded from water entry.
Hi Guys. Not sure if you have done or not. Is there a video of changing the front brake hose/lines!and a fluid flush. Thanks
Hey Graham, not something we have on this specific model just yet!
@@fcpeuro ok guys. Thanks for getting back, great Vids..
Looking at picking up a 2006 Cayenne S vs a 2004 Cayenne Turbo. Is the benefits of the Turbo (engine, parking assist, and particularly air suspension) worth $5,000 more? It also has less miles, but I would say both cars are in near perfect condition.
What did you end up getting?
What kind of scan tool do you guys recommend?
We use primarily all Autel Scan tools here at the company, we just added a new cheaper option to the site www.fcpeuro.com/products/maxiap-obdii-scanner-autel-ap200 , but our go to in the shop is www.fcpeuro.com/products/maxicheck-mx808-obdii-scanner-autel-mx808#description , there are a few in between though that are very capable!
Hello. Thanks for the vids. I just bought a 2011 Cayenne S V8. I just got a chassis fault code. And can't get into sport mode. I Have a yellow triangle with the #2 displayed. any Ideas. where to start? thanks in advance.
Hi Charlie, we had similar issues with the Yippie Cayenne. If you checkout the series, you will see that our fix was a new compressor and a valve block.
@@fcpeuro hello' I forgot to say. I don't have the variable ride height. I have the coil overs
How to repair suspension faulty and the compressor is always on and when that msg comes it turn off the sport mode turns off when that msg comes and my car doesn't go to the lowest mode I really don't know how to repair that and I wish if anyone helps me
I'm having issues with my air suspension also. I'm looking for a scan tool that can help. Any recommendations?
Hi, I was driving with the porche today when both fronts air suspension they go down and ofc comes light on the dashboard , and is very hard to drive it any idea what might be?
Check your level sensors/level sensor arms , if they come off the car will not be able to level itself and will air out.
@@fcpeuro you are genius, It took me just 1 min to fix it thank you 😀
@@danjelgjatari8384 Happy to help! It's nice when its something so simple!
Where you guys from I'll give my car for repair please
Just replaced my 2005 Cayenne brake discs, all the pads, all the wear Sensors and parking brake shoes, and I still have “ brake pads low, visit workshop “ on the dash 😡👎🏻, now what to do 🤔.
Maaf ya allah hamba liat ini.
Just buy a Lexus rx to much crap I don't want to be wondering what's next to break so I won't be buying a Porsche cayenne I'll stick to my Lexus rx thanks
