Thanks for posting this video, I’ve been having trouble with my 05 turbo S and I’ve been trying to diagnose them. While the problem isn’t mentioned in this video it still gave me lots of other useful information
Another great Cayenne video. Planning on doing this maint soon (I have an automatic - would love it if it were manual, but they can be hard to find) - would love to see a DIY transmission service, as I think it's more than just changing the fluid (isn't there a fluid filter and some magnets?). Great tip on the servo - I expect to use the 4WD at least once a year for snow and such in Colorado.
Hey! Could y’all consider making some content on servicing the 958 Generation. I can’t find a video on servicing that transmission. Thank you for your informative content!
Great video! I have an opportunity to buy a Cayenne. I'm told that it feels extremely sluggish and labored to get up to about 60mph but feels fine after that. Sounds like what you were mentioning with the auto trans. Would it be more cost effective to simply replace the trans valve body or replace the trans. (I found a used trans online for about $500)
Hi Nathan, Fantastic video thank you for sharing, I have a 2012 3.0 Diesel Porsche Cayenne, auto transmission, it recently lost its transmission fluid due to corrosion /damage to the transmission coolant radiator, a warning of overheating of the gearbox came up on the dash stopped the car immediately, got it picked up by a tow truck it went onto vehicle no problem but it would not reverse not even pushing it, it has had the corroded part replaced and new transmission oil; no problem going forward still no reverse. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)
Just did “the Jimmy fix” for the shaft boot failure on my 06 CTTS. The first owner replaced the entire driveshaft at 63,000 miles. I did the Jimmy fix at 115,000 for $25.
@@fcpeuro I just bought the transmission service kit from you and did it myself. Did the transfer case and the differentials as well. That transmission service is a bit of a bitch without a lift but it saved me nearly $800. I used drive up ramps and pumped up the air suspension.
great video! you mentioned the stepper motor can cause clunking sound... i get clunking sound after the vehicle has warmed up and only when i'm slowing down to a stop. i was told it was a driveshaft unit, but i don't get any vibration. could this issue be from the stepper motor?
Tracking control light on on dash that has something to do with not changing from 4wd to 2wd.? Is that why the light is on. How do I make 100% sure that it that?
Your videos are great! I wish that you were closer to me as I would like to hire your services. Anyway, I am looking at a 2006 Cayenne S and the auto broker says that it only shifts manually as there is some problem with the automatic shifting. Do you have any ideas as to what might be the problem and how to fix it?
I am loving your Porsche Cayenne videos. I am just curious if you have anything on the 2016-2018 Cayenne GTSs? Or even the GTS in general. I am looking to buy one I might even consider 2014 and slightly older with the 4.8 v8's
Thanks for the video. I had a 2013 Cayenne with a warning light of All Wheel Drive System Faulty. I had a diagnose result of PSM 000125, C11005. The technician said it is most likely problem with transfer case motor. Question here is does it need reprogram after replacing the motor?
nathan, I have a 2004 cayenne that i let sit for 6 years. Now I started driving it again and the transmission is leaking. The mechanic tells me it could be the seal, and possibly the trans pump. What are you thoughts, the car only has 24k miles, barely driven.
I have a 2012 Cayenne S 958 , 150k kms , was under service of agency until 2018 but i cannot see in the history if they have done any Transmission or TC servicing , do you recommend any work done to it now ? i do feel a bit of a not so smooth launch off the first 3 gears, once im in 4th its buttery smooth until 8th.
Great video!, I have 2012 cayenne s hybrid with 17396-P309 clutch disengagement actuator insufficient slip with disengagement clutch code which I bleeded hydraulic mechanism twice, it start up and dies. What are possible solutions for this symptoms?
I'm not gay but I fell in love with Nathan. He's style of guides & delivering the information is just on level GOD! Love the videos very informative & really high quality.
2006 Cayenne S Titanium with 162K miles on it. Driving home from work everything seemed ok just occasionally when coasting, when I gave gas it shimmied between downshifting or just staying in gear and it activates the AWD faulty light came on but drove normal still. Today it shimmied and downshifted but retained a shudder under acceleration. Cardan shaft is fine it feels like it is inside the transmission because coasting it goes away but with power the shudder returns. The AWD light eventually came on but I get no OBD fault codes. Can this be just from low fluid or dirty filter or more serious?
See I have some issue with transmission some time when I stop and try to accelerate again the gear automatically change from D2 to D5 its happened only in cold mode means morning and when I stop anywhere the car becomes on N mode when I accelerate more then shift to drive mode
Hey, my friend has a 957 Cayenne Turbo. The turbos want bad, so we dropped the engine/Trans/front axle to replace them. Some of the studs we had to weld a nut on extract. Anyway, the rest went fine and everything is assembled properly, but we are having trouble bleeding the brakes (done 10 times on each brake) We also get a permanent fault code: 17099, P0715 - Input Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction We have checked that everything was connected properly, and it is. Do you think that the welding could have messed up the sensor? No power was present as the whole unit was on the ground. Cheers
Would you (and should you) use the LM trans flush before the service (esp if you have high mileage and the service has not been completed)? If so, what plug would you remove to add?
Hi ...I have a porsche cayenne 955 2004 model 3.2 v6 ...all is working well ...only 1 issue comes in ....when I am cruising at 90 to 100 kmph and the rpm is below 2000 and it's in D5 and there is a upslope and I push it to move fast it gives a jerk on the D5 to D4 shift .....this does not happen on downslopes or if rpm is higher than 2000 or if I am driving on tiptronics....I changed the atf fuel and also checked the solenoids....they seem to be fine....yes during the checkup we saw the fuel filter was clogged so we changed fuel pump n filter too....pl do advise
Are there no upgrades or performance aftermarket options available for the 955/957? I can't find any company that makes a stronger/better/upgrade torque converter or valve body or something. Are there just zero choices for this platform for transmission upgrades??
Hi My 955 is stuck In low 4 I literally went to use it one morning and there was a four drive fault warning and it was in low 4. Have you heard of this. I’ve replaced the actuator motor and module but still nothing I’ve now hands new internal switch on the way. Thanks in advance
If my car has 90k miles on it (over 30k recommended transmission service) and has never had the transmission serviced, would servicing it right now myself be a bad idea?
Hey George, thanks for your question! Generally speaking, you should be ok at that mileage, and as a rule, we would almost always recommend choosing to do the service over not doing the service, as you may still avoid some major issues in the future. Basically, if you don't change it, it will develop issues for sure. If you do change it, chances are it will be fine, but as the miles get higher there is the *chance* it may break some varnish free and give you some issues. If that were to happen, doing an additional change or two (taking advantage of the FCP Euro Lifetime Replacement Guarantee) could help to flush out any contaminants that had been broken free, and hopefully resolve the issue.
I’m having issues when coasting under very little power then apply power. There’s a bit of a pause and transferring power to the wheels. You can actually feel it as a bit of a third when you put on the acceleration. Would this be the card and shaft possibly? Maybe the CV joint on the shaft?
Chances are it's not the Cardan Shaft or the CV. The Cardan shaft bearing failure results in a very loud knocking and heavy vibration, so hard you can't drive the car much over a few miles an hour if it fails completely. How many miles are on your Cayenne? Any warning lights or stored fault codes? It could be related to the Guibo/drive shaft flex disc potentially, assuming no other codes or faults.
How much oil we have filled in automatic transmission I have porsche cayenne 2006 v8 4.5L recently I changed transmission oil but not open and change oil filter oil quantity comes out 5 litre so I have in the same quality of oil or put some more
I have a 2004 4.5S that judders when I put it into drive or into the semi manual mode, it seems to be ok once driving at any kind of speed, should you think a service would sort that?
We got our kardan shaft bearings replaced as warranty claim approved it, but there is a “jimmy fix” for it if you are on a budget or want a better fix. Search it on Cayenne forums for the jimmy fix. Btw love FCP, I actually have the auto transmission filter kit being shipped at this moment. We changed fluids about 50k kms ago, that made the transmission better possibly saving myself a valve body rebuild. So I will change the fluids again soon. But I think I need to buy a pump to push the fluid up, can FCP put a link for that?
Greetings, I probably need to exchange my torque converter. My vehicle is Cayenne 957 Turbo 4.8 - 2008. Do you think that a torque converter from Cayenne 955 Turbo 4.5 is a direct swap? Have an option to buy an older stock one with a great discount!
You'll want to compare the part number they're offering! If you find the 957 version starts with a 957 part number and not 955, you know right away it's not compatible, if it starts with a 955 but has a different revision number, you can assume it may physically fit, but we would be unable to verify performance
My 2005 cayenne turbo only drive on 3rd gear .. the dealer ship in saudi 🇸🇦 won't even look at it and no mechanic could tell whats wrong they all suggest to get a new transmission.. but this solution is too expensive. Please help if any one hade the same problem or know a solution i suspect its an electronic problem but I'm not a car wizard 😅
As Adrian mentioned, making the change is usually a preferred recommendation regardless of miles, but saying that, 187,000 is definitely up there. Nathan's experience with the recommended mileage intervals is based on his experience working at independent German car specialists. He says that although rare, a higher mileage VW/Audi/Porsche automatic developing problems after a fluid change is something he has seen happen. It is not expected but isn't out of the realm of possibilities. The penalty of course in not changing it is that it will 100% developed problems at some point, so changing it may help prevent that.
If ATF service is recommended at 60K miles as to 160K than whats the benefit of promoting Liqui Molly as to Mobil ATF 3309. Mobil ATF 3309 9qts is way cheaper and reliable fluid. For kicks it has Flying Horse stamped right on it. Just saying if you own a Porsche have an engenering mindset which usually equates to common sense. I would be sold if he said Molly extends service interval to avoid all the issues he stated. Just another promotion of fancy fluid with scare tectic.
Sir, words fail me... As I am feeling demented Re my 92A trans bs, your approach is, NOT lite-weight, but, damn FUCK ME SIDEWAYS, awesome. I, thank you mate, MUCH.
