That’s a good price, but I needed it same day as my battery was shagged.
Cayenne is back! It’s feeling good. There’s a small drivers side boost leak I need to take a look at. Likely a split hose.
To celebrate its return before the next round of repairs I’m taking it to Avalanche Adventure next week:

Awesome place - have you been before?
We've been in my other half's FL2. Everyone is always super friendly and the owners are awesome
No, its going to be my first time doing off roading, I'll be taking it easy thats for sure! I spoke to the owner during the week and seemed a nice chap.We've been in my other half's FL2. Everyone is always super friendly and the owners are awesome
The bill was £1396, which is a lot but I was also expecting much more due to the pain of working on the car and various things breaking during removal.
Items still on the list:
Fix rear parking sensors (as all four are out I am thinking wiring rather than dead sensors, the rear ECU seems fine as I can communicate with it
Get the gearbox & transfer case serviced
Investigate a small boost leak (theres a bit of whistling on the drivers side), I suspect its a perished hose (or maybe the diverter valve)
Does anyone know what the difference between this filter:

And the filter in this service kit

As they look quite different?

It was also my first time, so I went the cautious route, considering its a stock car and on road tyres. I'll see what mods I can do (probably underbody protection and some better rubber),
Everyone was very welcoming, though it won't shock you to that I was the only Porsche.

The Cayenne may be expensive to run but it's a lot of fun off road - treating it to a gearbox service next month as a reward to doing well at Avalanche last weekend.
It's going to take a couple of days because the process involves warming & cooling the gearbox, I am getting the diffs & transfer case oil changed at the same time. Pricey but worth it if I am going to be using the car on a regular basis.

I think that the diffs etc you can do yourself easily enough but yes the transmission oil is supposed to be warmed and then drive engage whilst filling, so you need it on a lift.It's going to take a couple of days because the process involves warming & cooling the gearbox, I am getting the diffs & transfer case oil changed at the same time.

I don't think it's different to any other car; undo filler bolt, undo drain bolt, drain fluid, replace drain bolt, fill until fluid starts pouring out of filler, replace filler bolt.
The reason I say you can do it yourself is that you don't need a lift, you can just raise the suspension.
