[@Beer_Dad1975]

In my experience, German turbo charged performance engines all like to burn more oil than you'd expect - so it might not be a sign of oncoming turbo failure - then again it's getting up around the typical lifespan for a lot of factory turbochargers. Also it's a fairly early direct injection engine, so could well be a bit coked up, which can also cause excess oil consumption.

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

Still waiting for that wall PC video Jay.

[@microst99]

the cold start smoke is from the PCV diaphragm, they crack and let oil into the intake - 20quid or so part (it's inside the round thing on top of the engine)

[@mariochen2470]

if u ever need parts for this car, its a good idea to check the parts number to see if its a vw part and not a cayenne/porsche specific part. can often save u quite a bit

[@darchandarchan7036]

i remember being 11 years old, was on the train across my big country. On halfway, mom told me that my dad is riding a porsche cayenne across the country, and we might see him at next station. So i switched train for cayenne, and rode like 400km or more in it. It is one of my most precious car moments.

James you legend! Such an underrated vehicle.. not a beauty queen but a star performer none the less.. take it off-road and you'll find a jewel among the rocks.... my two bobs worth; clean/clear the sunroof and front scuttle drains (trim the rubber dust boots to make a larger hole) and make sure if a tail-shaft centre bearing replacement is done its aligned properly. Enjoy!

James, proud of you on two counts, a) trying something you don't like, and b) looking after your sis. Great video...as usual bruv.

[@dkfournier6975]

As I've said before, great work and really top marks for supporting @Dadcars - really respect helping others aim to make their dreams happen.

[@eddstarr2185]

James, your timing is amazing! Around the USA people are running the numbers and coming to the same conclusion as you - the Porsche Cayenne is perfect in everything except initial sticker price. And that means well cared for used examples are disappearing, fast! It also helps that the 1st gen Cayenne is a handsome vehicle, especially post facelift. The way things are playing out every pre-owned Cayenne in good condition will see asking prices rise. Regretville? I think you made a good move here. Cheers, James!

[@bengaltiger96]

Tood Deeken of Everyday Driver has been a good resource on this - he got a .2 first gen Cayenne V6 for his wife and reporting on the long term health of the car. And it has been fairly unstoppable for at least 120,000 miles, surviving Utah winters.

[@taylorc2542]

As an overlanding platform the reliability/repair cost is a big roll of the dice.

[@EvoraGT430]

My ex-Porsche tech tells me: "They are not built to last". Great cars, but probably a money-pit.

[@chartreux1532]

@@EvoraGT430 I'd be curious who that Porsche Tech is and in which Country, because nothing could be further from the Truth. Just check the Reliability Data from all Cayenne Models by the "TÜV" from Germany as well as other very strict European Vehicle Testing and Rating Groups. And trust me, they are considered the most strict Car Control Agencies in the World for a Reason. In fact, most American Car Owners couldn't get their Car pass the TÜV Test (no matter the Brand) because of how lax and non-strict Car Control is in the USA. This btw is also why most People who call BMWs "unreliable money pits" happen to be from the USA, because in the USA you don't have to take proper Care of your Cars by Law, so they treat their BMW (or other Cars) badly, arent punctual for check-ups and oil changes etc. and then when stuff breaks early on, they blame the Brand instead of themselves. In most of Europe if you treat your Car that way, you won't pass the every 2-year "TÜV" (+ other Countries Checkups) and won't be allowed to drive it anymore. So the Reliability Data over here for Cars that are considered unreliable in the USA, are Top on Reliability, since People are afraid they won't be allowed to continue driving their Car, so People here take much better Care of their Car, which leads to better Reliability

[@autobahnproven]

​@@chartreux1532 Absolutely agree with all your comments. While living in Germany, I had mostly high performance cars and maintained all of them scrupulously. The TÜV every two years is a big deal and takes anwhere from 15-30 minutes. In the US, I know of someone whose car passed with only a quick 10-second inspection of the lighting.

[@gureno19]

I too agree that these will be future classics, they look good and the majority of major issues are well known and documented now, its just a case of finding a good one and holding onto it.

[@ChileVuela]

I just picked up a 2010 Cayenne Turbo for overlanding. Cracking car. Expensive maintenance.

[@Spenny909]

I'm glad to see the new car is a Cayenne. I offered my Cayenne to Jay. If not going to Jay, I might just keep it and take the advert down. There is so much character from the wheel to the hands, immense grip and power. @Jay, you could make a video after a year listing the repairs and costs, and of you taking it off road.

[@ba2724]

It's good that you're not a complete idiot with your money, and that value actually means something to you. This Cayenne was a great choice and in great shape, so repairs should hopefully remain reasonable. I look forward to more vids on this vehicle and any updgrades/changes you make. Bravo!

[@steveberridge4648]

Great car. I've never liked suvs much but the cayenne turbo mk1 and to a lesser extent the mk2 have always appealed. A guilty pleasure indeed.

This is it I'm afraid... you've officially hit: middle age. My condolences 😔 🙏

[@jasonlewry3307]

We have the very same car Jay…excellent choice! I have run through mine, cost a couple of K to get it where I wanted… first thing I did was change every fluid (there are a few!) lower arms, boot struts, thermostat, air/oil separator all done myself to save money as garages see a Porsche and get a little “excited” with their estimates! Interesting you get 20mpg! Mine started at 13 and now runs at 14…all local small trips. I have used nearly a litre of oil in 2000 miles. No leaks, just use and mine has 94k miles on. I’ll see what it can do on a decent trip shortly. Not sure about your remap though! Mine runs a bespoke map performed by previous owner on a dyno… I have the printouts…. 600 is unlikely but I’d love to compare it. Good luck with yours! They are stupid… and marvellous. All at once!! 😂 Oh and apple car play is a must!! The headunit (PCM) is terrible!!! 😂

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

These are the cheapest Porsche models in Au. Can't take them across Au because they go bang too often.

[@deaks25]

It shows how things have progressed; everyone slammed the chassis-share with the Touareg, but today the response is "Well, of course you would share the chassis", very little has a unique chassis these days. It wasn't the nicest car when it was new, but the facelift did a really good job in helping the car age actually really well. Oh, by the way, Ben spoiled the surprise as I say his DadCar video first, so I knew what the reveal was. It's great you give him so much help and support.

[@stephenlane9168]

[@pjrebordao]

I bought a 03 Cayenne S one year ago and I'm super happy with it. Agree with all the plus points that Jay mentioned. However, it's a very thirsty beast. I could only justify mine because it was already converted to LPG and that makes its case brilliantly. Here (Portugal), LPG is almost half the price of petrol :)

[@os3990]

Congrats! Great video! Excited for more content :)

[@997turbo2]

Its a tank on wheels, I had the first generation one (turbo) and it was a great car, but never liked its face, the face lifted one looks much more aggressive and more appealing 👍🏻

[@charlesmoss8119]

Interesting comment on the interior space being good, I feel newer cars are getting worse in this - I’m shocked how little usable space is in some vast SUV - I first noticed this on the first gen Q7 which was almost small inside. The issue seems to be the tumblehome (well that’s the yacht term) where the sides flare out and the roof is low. The Disco 3/4 were brilliant for being slab sided while most 4x4 now are heavily flared below the window line while roofs are lowered to look maybe sleek? I really feel amazed that people want cars with a huge footprint that are actually almost cramped inside.

[@liquidflorian]

I have a Gen2 Cayenne, and its amazing; you'll love this one!

[@aahandillon7047]

Owned the 957 cayenne turbo in black in same trim with tan leather inside it was beautiful car, and super fun drive. Nothing like a Touareg for a 2008 this car was a fantastic pickup and sport s. PDCC was wonderful in the Middle East and can handle heat no problems. Only shame was the Air suspension used to leak with tiny holes but still did the job

[@richardsmith9509]

Make sure the coolant lines (plastic) in the upper engine V have been changed. The replacement line is aluminium.......

[@ShedLifeUK]

These are super appealing to waft round in or potentially go nuts and off road till something expensive breaks. Can only imagine the cost of parts!

[@BlackLines]

they share a lot with VW Tourareg and Audi Q7 - not as expensive as you'd think, but a massive PITA to work on.

[@ShedLifeUK]

@@BlackLines I was tempted to buy one 6 months ago but risk of an engine going bang or something else is putting me off. I have no doubts it would be an epic ride.

[@MarkGolf]

Superb cars, yours looks great on the technos! I have a GTS, I went for the GTS purely for the seats and I really didn't want the hassle of replacing turbo's due to bad seals. Quite common over on Rennlist. I do hanker for the power of the turbo at times however.

[@user-li8sx4yj4s]

I’ve had a few turbos, as long as the coolant pipes are changed to steel and you can’t hear any piston slap, they’re amazing cars for the money. Throttle response is poor but once that boost kicks in, these no buyers regret! 🎉

Great choice Jay...Its why I subscribe here. You got a good eye for the under dog motor . I remember when no self respecting car journalist would go near one of these with Jeremy Clarkson's old broom stick..😎

We love our facelift cayenne. We needed a family wagon for our three kids and couldn't face driving an espace. So a dirty great V8 it was. It has also become everyone's favourite do all car out of all four of our fleet.

[@megapangolin1093]

Great video, very interesting. Somehow when I opened this episode in your life I didn't expect the car to be a Kia Sportage. Never mind though, better to get something that will give you stories to tell eg costs/disappointments/reliability/thrills/why do I need to go shopping in a 155mph car that does 18mpg....

[@heleng9690]

Great car. Absolutely loved ours. Sublime comfort and if made me realise I could not live without a heated steering wheel. We bought ours despite me saying it was the ugliest car ever (!) as we wanted a fast SUV. Only issue with ours was the Panamanic roof was ‘inconsistent’ for opening/closing but you soon learnt to just push it up to help it, and the cost to fill a tank was heartbreaking. And that when fuel was £1 😂

[@pharmacells]

The exhaust sounds like it's had a Gundo hack done to it, which is easy on the Cayenne. Just a bit of tubing in the rear muffler.

[@lolpaladins]

Best time to buy a 1st Gen cayenne was about 5 years ago, now I think you’re starting to play the older car lottery, most 2nd gens are probably still in good shape though.

[@SteveBratt]

James please let me know when you decide to sell this, I bought a Cayenne S and absolutely love it (I pull trailers and do the odd things in fields which is loads of fun in a cayenne) but I'd really like a turbo and so knowing you, when you sell, I'll be here 😊

I am from Québec, I use to own many muscle car's. SUV AWD is very useful where I live ( and with the kids ) . But I would see you, for your filming needs, more into a wagon, like a amg Turbo wagon. Alex from legit car's has two seem to enjoy them. With all the deferent activities and filming you do, a sporty wagon would probably fits the "day to day" needs and still keep the driving fun available.

[@getdealtwithquick]

The facelifted models look much better than both the pre-facelift 1st gens and the early 2nd gen Cayennes. The interior and rear bench space are the only real downsides. The air suspension is much more reliable in these than pretty much anything else out at the time.

Sadly, I like driving, so I'll keep my diesel.
