Cayenne love

[jackal]

this won't be popular .... but i've gone and got some 4x4 pork but i'm afraid

had no idea i'd buy one of these but what a total riot to drive ! it's my first 4x4 so a new experience and a bit of an experiment, but so far i'm loving it and strangely I adore the simple looks as well esp. with the silver all round... just what i need for my daily smoke and work duties as well

2006 car with Air, PASM, 20" rims and a ton of other stuff I have no idea how to work at the moment

Ah, bugger what anyone else says- they're great cars so congratulations.

Still love that V8 burble and they really are deceptively quick.

Make sure you've got your nectar card when you visit BP...points galore

Best car in the Porsche range.

As a 1 car does all solution the Cayenne is a great car. I've championed them since day one. It's the only car I've owned from brand new (got one in 2003) and we really missed it when we sold it. Have a Turbo S on the fleet at the moment which is very impressive.

Enjoy the car and if there is anything you need to know just ask. Run it in comfort, one off middle setting (ie below middle) on the height.

Wow..like a flashback. I had a Cayenne S that looked identical to that. Silver, roofbars, 20" technos etc etc. Great cars.

Lethal fuel economy killed it for me (I'm a city dweller and never saw more than 14mpg.) If I had an oil well in the back garden I'd have another anytime.

Thanks for that H, I am running it in sport + one down from middle as you say. It's amazing how easily you can hustle these around and because of the visibility and low down grunt and goo brakes you can flick them around tight roads and urban areas so quickly. A ton plus on the Mway she is superb as well.

I dont think I will ever be without one, they are that good. Ill be selling mine next year due to mileage but a turbo will be replacing it congrats, wait till it snows, then the love will start all over again

Porsh-apart are breaking a mint 2003 S just like that because its worth more in parts!!!

They couldnt sell it for 10.5k!!

It seems such a horrible waste.

MTR

PS - Have you started stripping it yet?

Better than a 911 anyway, the engines in the right place for a start

I hope you don't mind, but I thought your pictures looked good, so I saved one to see what camera you are using, and fkKK that is one very expensive camera LOL

Very nice car By The Way

Just googled the camera, does look like a very impressive bit of kit.

Mate you've got great taste! Love mine!

[dozzer]

Nice one jackal bought mine a couple of months ago as your its a 2006 with loads of kit inc air. No complaints covers the daily miles with ease and is really comfortable.

Averaging 21/22mpg which is better than expected

Nice car

Spill the beans, what camera does the man have then?

[jackal]

Cheers guys. Lots of modern stuff to work out. I can't see any pcm manual so have no idea how the telephone thing works. Slotting a sim card in seems a bit archaic ... Is there a way to hack an iphone into it ? Also i have some manual for a vts tracking thingy and a strange plastic card ? Is this something i should just ignore ?

I wanted a 2006 model as i read it has some bugs of the early ironed out. No idea if thats true. Downside is the higher road tax of course. Guess i should check if its had the metal coolant pipes fitted at some point and i think im gping to get a geo done next week and just get all the bushes checked over.

Thanks. You dont want to know about the camera i use on proper jobs. The leica is just a cheap toy in comparison !

Nice one ... I think the readout says about 14 at the moment ! Im sure that'll settle down a bit though.

I have the tyre pressure monitor coming up on the display but when i activate it i just get an alarm and a minus reading so presumably i dont have it actually fitted as an option or perhaps its faulty ?

Probably the batteries in the sensors, I've read they usually last about 5 years or so.

I've got the same problem, currently waiting for some replacements to arrive.

I'll let you know if they do the trick.

[jackal]

Ok thanks, do keep us posted.

Tookipor for the iphone anyone ?

Seems a shame that theres no way to just plug an iphone into the Phone module with a 3rd party cable.

I have a Denison gateway BT500. Works well (easy), but it doesn't 'sync' or store numbers on the PCM. It has replaced the CD charger during the install. It was already installed when i brought my Cayenne.
