Were you in manual mode or full automatic? I was surprised it was shifting inside the red line? I have a 2005 Cayenne Turbo and shortly after purchasing a year ago on full acceleration it tacked up and didn't shift and when I let off the accelerator, BANG! Sounded like the rear end was going to explode lol and after searching sounds like valve body needs rebuilding but I discovered recently I can avoid the problem by going to manual shift mode on harder acceleration.

@@gregs_garage That sounds like bore scoring, which not all of them have - depends on the owners treatment of the engine. 10k mile oil intervals as recommended by the factory cause this.
any insight on the "power steering noise". my 2008 turbo is the same. It seems to be coming from the rear of the engine. Is this just a normal cayenne thing? HPFP related? anything will help as I cant seem to find any research on the topic.
It's the PDCC pump, which creates the pressure necessary to power the hydraulic sway bars that keep that big boat from flopping around in the twisty bits. You can tell his car has it because of the silver chassis buttons at the beginning when he pushes "Sport". It's a must have option in my opinion, well worth dealing with the noise.
@@RS4Ship yes after some further research I’ve found it’s the PDCC pump. I was still unsure if it’s normal to be so noisy or not. This is my first Porsche...I’m usually a Mercedes guy and my CL65 with the ABC tandem pump isn’t loud like this. I was more worried about replacing the pump due to a bearing failure. I guess it’s just normal and that’s fine as I will just flush the fluid and keep motoring.
@@christiancern4275 I have an 09 ctts, it makes the same noise. Another 09 ctts that we looked at also made the same noise. There are people out there that claim their PDCC pump doesn’t make noise...I’ve yet to experience that in person. Just keep on motoring and enjoy!
@@michaelspinelli5261 I'm 21 and have owned my Cayenne GTS for a year now... I think the answer to your question depends on how much money you have, honestly. It is an excellent car and would make for a great first car if you have the cash set aside for potential maintenance and repairs. I can confirm that these cars DRINK fuel, EAT tires, and like repair attention in between those two affairs. I've had to replace the air-oil separator (AOS), the battery, a set of tires (they're very expensive on this rig). The high-pressure fuel pump, low-pressure fuel pumps, and fuel filters were all replaced under warranty (would've been $6,500). This problem caused two failed catalysts which would have cost $5,500 retail at the dealer. Currently, my driver's side rear door will not open (it is locked shut). Is it a great car? Absolutely. I tow my track car, jet ski, and 24ft ski boat behind it and it has never shown a hint of struggle. It sounds amazing and the interior build quality is very very nice. The engines and transmissions are robust, and the only primary problems are transfer cases, thermostats, coolant pipes, and a few other things depending on the generation you go with. Do your research and see if you can afford the car. I'd recommend an S if you do go with a Cayenne. They have the same engine as the Turbo on generations prior to 2015, just without the boost. There is generally less stress on the components and less to fail (no turbos, intercoolers, etc). Often, the S model won't have air suspension or PDCC. Keep in mind the fewer options, the less complication, the fewer parts to fail. My CGTS has PDCC, Air suspension, etc and although I haven't had problems with either, the tandem pump in the PDCC makes the typical whining noise. I know they all have a life span and eventually it will need replacement. The sound system (if upgraded to bose or Burmeister) is phenomenal. The car rides smoothly and will get lots of attention... especially while towing another car lol. Sorry for the stream-of-consciousness mess of a synopsis. It's kinda a mess but gives you an idea lol.
I had a ´04 Cayenne Turbo. The engine and drivetrain were very reliable. The biggest problem is electronics. Malfunctioning parking sensors, air suspension sensors that can be dirty or rust easily. It loves to drink both fuel and oil. It´s catastrophic in town (20-25 litres/100 km) and really good at highway (10-12 litres/100 km and 15-17 when you drive 160-190 km/h). It consumes up to 1,5 litre of oil per 1000 km. The biggest costs will be petrol, oil and insurance if you buy the good ex. When it comes to insurance, it can be even twice as much as the newer Cayennes. If you want one. Look for one that was frequently served by Porsche, check if it doesn´t have any fault codes, check the cooling hoses. Early models had plastic ones which corroded and caused coolant leakages. Look if cats are in good condition. This car can have up to four cats, and they almost the same money as the gearbox. And for God´s Sake, don´t buy one without service book!!!!!!!! Avoid the N/A V8s, especially the 4.5. It can melt cylinders. Turbocharged versions are more proof here! If you want to feel more safe, go for ones with 3.0 TDI, but watch for fuel injectors and timing chain.
Same one, just silver instead of grey. great vehicle & video!
Turn that PSM off so the full power of this beast can be released!!! 😝😜

Full auto mode. Sport mode on the console. Sold this beast. They are fun but pretty unreliable. Very complicated and too many things to go wrong.
@gregs_garage were you hard on it?
What kinda problems have you had? Some of the more noteable ones please
cylinder #8 was ticking. dying. losing compression slowly. That's what happens with these 4.5 and 4.8 motors.
@@gregs_garage That sounds like bore scoring, which not all of them have - depends on the owners treatment of the engine. 10k mile oil intervals as recommended by the factory cause this.
@@onenerdarmy i agree bore scoring due to less than perfect maintenance. The motors require care from day 1.
How much boost pressure do these run from factory?
I don't even know. probably just enough to make them unreliable. They are so good and so bad at the same time.
@@gregs_garage oh no don’t say that, I’m trying to convince myself to buy one 😩
@@southerndiy1 that's what I did. Just buy a Cayman and a Honda Pilot you'll have way more fun.
@@gregs_garage How are the unreliable... there are a lot of people who say they are reliable
@@The-qh3vg buy one and fine out. Maybe some have the bugs worked out, but man are there a LOT of bugs.

What's the consumption?
High.
Measured in gallons per mile
Have you had any problems with it?
of course. These are made of problems and not much else.
@@gregs_garage wow. I read that the better the model the better built.
@@vtecbanger3180 stick to your vtec
Problems and a lot of money 👎👎👎
I don’t know why this car looks like my aunts cayenne same color and wheels
Good first car?
No. Expensive and unreliable and eats gas. It's not even a good second car. It's a good toy for when you're older.
@@gregs_garage Ok thank you

Heaaavvvyy
To be a V8 twin turbo it is slow!!! My 07 cx-7 4 cylinder do better than that
well put a video of the mazda up and show us all how great it is!
Its a truck under steroids what do you expect? Performance of a hypercar?
Highly doubt that
