I was going to ask about rotor inspection but I take it that’s addressed in the separate video. Good comprehensive write up. You made it look easy!
+K1dPhresh1 thanks! What are you wondering?
This channel is great!
Love your vids, man. I've been scouting the web for the right Cayenne. I've looked at many and all have had issues. I guess I'll just keep looking.
Depending on the issue, you may be able to get a good deal then fix it yourself. At least you'll know it was done right. Be weary if you find a car without a good maintenance record.
Great detail
Thanks for the video, just bought a manual Cayenne and it needs brakes. Video helped me out.
Sean Scott I have a 2010 GTS also 6speed!
Good job.
Great video, followed it and swapped pads successfully
you all prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Landen Yousef instablaster =)
@Lyric Ishaan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Nice car 🌞
Good video. I would recommend to clean the caliper noted you have done all complicated work before. Thx
Very good
Happily the pads in my car just drop into the caliper slots without having to remove the caliper from the carrier bracket. Sometimes replacing the rotors can be difficult since, in older cars, they are frequently bound to the hub with rust. I've seen people pound on them with hammers to try to break them free. This is dangerous and sometimes fails. Putting bolts in the carrier bracket and tightening them against the backs of the rotors usually works very easily to remove them. Also, if you crack the bleeder valves just a little when compressing the pistons, they will move easily and simultaneously remove some of that often-contaminated fluid in the calipers. I usually don't even need a compression tool.
Bravoooooo Maestro
I use Textar pads on my bmws. They are every bit as good as the OE pads.
Great video
What kind of brake pads are the ones they take ?.
I have a porsche cayenne 2008 4.8 turbo and im having trouble finding the correct brake pads .
Hi. Good question. Here are all the details you'll need to change out your brake pads on the 08 turbo. Hope this helps. ecarguides.com/maintenance-guides/how-to-change-brake-pads-rotors-on-porsche-cayenne-368mm-front-rotor/?diy-vehicle&make=porsche&model=cayenne&trim=cayenne-turbo&model_year=2008
I just bought a nearly identical CTT. 2008. Same color as yours. Red calipers too. What do the red calipers mean? Some 2008 models have different colors. Do they indicate 350mm rotors? Were they an upgrade?
+leusgs turbos came with red calipers which were the bigger brakes off the previous 955 turbo s models!
There are also yellow calipers which are super expensive. A $9000 option I think.
Could you add the pad Brand and part number for this CTT? Mine is identical. Looking at Textar 380mm on Amazon but not sure.
+Greg's Garage sorry, be here you go. amzn.to/2sg8U3P please note these are for the front on a 08 Cayenne. Front rotors are 368mm not 380.
thanks! yes I learned that after more brake-related reading today. I try to learn something about this complex beast each week.
you wouldn't know the rear rotor size? 330 or 350mm? I'd measure but the truck is under a foot of snow and it's -20C
+Greg's Garage I'd look it up online. I think it's 330 but am not 100%
All my research says the fronts are 368mm and the rears are 358mm. I ordered some TEXTARs online. Will see what happens.
Are the rear pads more difficult? Due to the electric parking brake? (I have a 2011 Cayenne S btw, same calipers though)
+VANZ STRINGZ nope. It isn't anymore difficult.
Car Fanatic alright thanks. Btw thanks also for the spark plugs and coil change video, saved me a bundle last summer
does 957 turbo has 380mm front rotors? Can you replace pads without replacing rotor?
You can replace the pads without the rotors but it is not recommended. I've found they wear out at similar rates so it's best to do them at the same time. The 09-10 957 turbos used 380 mm rotors in the front while the 08 uses 368mm front rotors. Of all the 955/957 turbos, the 08 is the only year to use 368mm rotors. I know, super confusing right?
Hi the torque of the calliper in newton meter is 271 right?
Hi, here are the instructions and torque specs. Hope this helps. ecarguides.com/maintenance-guides/how-to-change-brake-pads-rotors-on-porsche-cayenne-368mm-front-rotor/?diy-vehicle&make=porsche&model=cayenne&trim=cayenne-turbo&model_year=2008
What happened to showing the rotor change?
It's pretty much the same process.
How do I get ahold of you? Can’t find any contact information in your channel. I’m in the Phoenix area and would like to explore some collaborations. Also would love to get into Auto-x in the area. Daniel
+Daniel Wray hi, can you email me at Carandtruckfanatic@gmail.com?
Don't you have to pump the brakes before taken it out for a test drive ?
Yes that's a good idea!

Didn't you replace the rotors? I have been told we have to replace the rotors every time we change the brake pads on German cars
I had just replaced the rotors, so that's why i didn't change them. I general, you dont have to replace the rotors if you have a lot of material left. If you have no vibration and your rotors will last as long as the new pads, no need to change.
Car Fanatic thank you. I really enjoy your videos. Would you please make a video to show us how to drive turbocharged cars and take care of turbochargers correctly?
45 minutes per side did you stop for lunch :-?
Lol, sometimes you just hit a few snags where things don't come off or go back on the first time around 🙂
You shouldn’t re-use the caliber bolts. They are not meant to be re-used.
It's totally fine to reused them if they are in good condition. Some bolts are torque to yield, therefore, you want to only use them once. These bolts aren't. Porsche says to use new bolts but that's because the uprights are aluminum so, bad damaged treads can damage the upright. But rest assured, if the treads on the bolt are in good shape, you can reuse it. That's my understanding at least.
Both Porsche and pelican parts state they are designed to be used once. I totally understand if you don’t want to replace them however for peace of mind and following Porsche repair/maintenance instructions you are supposed to replace them. Long as you are comfortable with no replacing them i’m sure there are plenty of cayennes on the road that don’t.
Regardless nice video, good to see repair videos on these vehicles out there now.
You forgot to change the rotors...
I was just swapping out the pads because they were squealing. The rotors were recently put on.
Too much hustle for me, I better pay for a someone to do it to save time/risks.
Good job.
