| Jun 201747000 mi | Driver-side front headlamp washer had an incorrectly installed washer fluid bracket, and fluid line.

But when using the headlamp washer function, the line connector separated, leaking 2 gallons of wiper fluid. Refilling continued to leak. Took to dealer to fix -- about about a 2 hour job to remove front wheel liner, but car was in the shop 2 full days. All fixed under warranty. | ||

| Porsche Cayenne in Ontario, Canada May 2016 - Oct 2021 | |||
| Jul 201676660 miC $160 | Repair valve cover gaskets and another o ring on camshaft to stop small oil leaks. I replaced the struts which support the rear door. The parts came from Amazon.com and cost 128 USD. The repair took about three hours and I did it myself with the help of You-Tube videos. | ||
| Sep 201678740 miC $100 | Replaced AC actuator motors (5) and repaired 2. Parts bought used on eBay, $100. Safety check required replacement of lower ball joint/control arms. I bought them on Amazon.com for $100 each and installed them. | ||
| Oct 201679140 mi | Replaced one ignition coil. I did a Jimi fix on the drive shaft hanger bearing. That involves fitting short pieces of heater hose in place of a failed membrane and holding them in place with zip ties. All reports say that it prevents an expensive repair and lasts as well as the factory piece which is too weak for heavy applications. | ||
| Dec 201681220 miC $60 | Replaced boots on right front quarter axle. Cleaned and regreased the CV joints, reinstalled the unit. Changed brake fluid and power steering fluid, changed the engine oil and filter. | ||

| Mar 201793620 miC $90 | Replaced expansion tank on cooling system. | ||
| Nov 201790520 miC $236 | System vacuumed and recharged with dye. Two weeks later the inspection showed no leaks. A good job by a local specialist. | ||
| Apr 201894240 miC $78 | I set out to change the coolant pipes on the 2004 Porsche Cayenne's engine, only to discover that they had already been done. While I had it apart I changed the spark plugs (two of which had visible fouling) and coils, but discovered the eBay set of eight coils (I had used one to date) only had three more which worked, so still using four of the original, cracked coils, but they work fine, after much fussing with error codes. Total cost of this repair, $78.00 CDN for the plugs. From this my advice would be to go upscale in purchasing coils for a Cayenne. They are a pain to change because of the plastic covers, fragile vent hoses, and the engine mount which must be removed for access to #3. As well, one misfiring cylinder causes the entire bank to shut down because the ECU senses a risk to the O2 sensor and puts four cylinders into limp mode. | ||
| May 201894940 miC $360 | The 2004 Cayenne S had a couple of visits to Pat's Radiators in Kingston over depleted refrigerant and approaching summer. The first test failed to locate a leak. The second involved removing the front bumper cover only to discover nothing wrong with the condenser, either. So they recharged it with dye and it's been fine ever since. | ||
| Jul 201897020 mi | 2004 Cayenne S started to miss badly while 50 miles from home, but finally it showed a code. Cylinder 2. I changed the coil from new Chinese ones I had on hand. The spark plug required re-torquing, strangely. This improved performance after a month of intermittent misfiring. Lesson: Don't buy bargain coils for this car. | ||
