Porsche Cayenne Turbo S: How To Fix The Suspension And A Rattling Prop-Shaft | Wheeler Dealers

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is one of the most powerful consumer SUVs on the market, but because of its specialised manufacturing methods, repairing and maintaining the car can be very expensive. Ant shows us what some of the most common issues with this sporty 4x4 are and how to fix them cheaply and efficiently.

So many whine the show isn't as good without Ed, but Ant is really engaging and I think he explains what he's doing very well. He's not Ed, but he's good in his own right.

[@marcuspd477]

I'm a home mechanic with a 955 Turbo WLS (E81 Powerkit) and these cars are not as bad as people make out. Once you've tackled the neglect of people who didn't get it properly serviced in it's later years, they're pretty robust. Mine is rare in the UK, with the E81 Powerkit as these were a stop gap before the Turbo S, with basically all the parts of a Turbo S on it apart from the TPS, including the 19" brakes. I had to do coils, plugs, valve cover gaskets, cam actuator seals, full oil filer, trans oil and filter, diffs and transfer box fluid change. I replaced front upper and lower arms and drop links, plus refurbed the air suspension compressor with a new ring and seals. There were a few other niggles to sort, sticky PCM control knobs were replaced, rear camera replaced with a new internal camera unit from Alibaba, pan roof end position reset etc, but now it's a great, high spec comfy cruiser, also capable off road, which at the touch of a button is a 500bhp+ super saloon. The best £7,800 I ever spent, but the previous owner didn't know it was a WLS as they're just badges as Turbo's - you need to check for the E81 option on the build sticker. As a general rule when buying, if it has 19" brakes on 20" Turbo S wheels and is marked as a Turbo on an 06 plate, there's a good chance it will have the WLS spec of the E81 Powerkit option, adding 50-70bhp.

[@IKhanNot]

I'm a fan of Ant. He describes things well and he's taking a proactive approach to making to make the vehicle not only road worthy in the short run but also in the long run.

[@Michka1001]

The production quality... So clear! So concise! Spectacular!

[@HarryFromTheNorthSide]

I love the 955s.i fix almost everything on the suv myself.i also have a mechanic background, but anyone with tools,a repair manual, determination ,patience and balls can work on most of the repairs required to fix these suvs.the cayenne has amazing handling and is a unstoppable juggernaut in Canadian winters (I never get stuck in anything),it can also stop on a dime. I love these suvs,the only bad side I see on the n/a 4.5 v8 cayenne S is the horrific fuel economy. I get about 3.8 km/l //14.4miles/galon.

Excelente guía para los que tenemos este vehículo (en mi caso el 997). Me dio fallo en el sistema de suspensión, primero en naranjo y luego de 3 km en rojo, se bajó completamente de atrás y golpeaba fuerte cada pequeño bache del camino. Creí que gastaría una fortuna en repararlo, pero gracias a este video llegue al compresor y verifique que una manguera se había soltado, la única que va unida a un codo (al parecer es una falla bastante común). Sin sacar el compresor de su arnés y solo sacando las 3 tuercas que lo sujetan al chasis instalé la manguera en posición y asunto solucionado. Ahora se que las piezas aquí mencionadas también se pueden cambiar en caso que el aire se pierda o el compresor trabaje con poca eficiencia, en aliexpress piezas por separado desde los U$15 y hasta el compresor completo U$170.

My dad had a Lincoln with an air suspension. When the pump went out instead of buying one from Ford he bought a cheap tire pump took it apart and used it. Lasted for the rest of the cars life.

[@jaylmw08]

If the issue is with o-ring (1:35) wouldn't replacing the valve ($40) with the same factory o-ring eventually just bring back the problem? Wouldn't it be better to replace the o-ring with a higher quality $5 Viton o-ring? Reminds me of my BMW cpv that leaks oil due to the factory o-ring becoming dry, flat and brittle. The Viton o-rings are of much better quality and can withstand the heat better.

Its like going to a restaurant , eat, and when you done you feel like nothing happened.

[@simone1997ita]

Flipping bangers is better. But sadly only two season.

[@adammcallister2260]

Probably because the stuff we actually want to watch gets cut out. Look at the 300ZX video. No introduction, just *bam* engine out and then they explain why. The USP of WD was always the repairs and now it’s Bulky Brewer speaking to his “contacts” and getting something cleaned or filing away exhaust pipes. Less brewer, more Anstead. Master Mechanic with Anstead was good but even that left a lot to be desired in regards to work taking place. So much of the screen time was him sat chatting because it’s quick and easy to film. WD has tanked since moving to America and it’s a shame because I think Anstead is perfect for the role. The role is letting him down.

can anyone tell me why (Wheeler Dealer) NEVER had Opel Monza GSE 1984 ?? It is a fun to good car if you have the right version!

[@calibrazxr750]

It has a lot to do with things like finding one cheap enough, accessibility of parts and being able to sell it on for a profit. But the real core of the reason why is probably because they just weren't very good, they weren't very interesting and they weren't sold in great numbers. No one wanted them back in the 80's and no one really wants one now, except you perhaps.

[@OverlandTT]

I replaced my whole prop including the doughnut and bearing for £200 and wasn't too hard.

To all the internet trolls that keep asking for Ed. Move on and find something else to watch. Many of us still like WD.

[@sparky4878]

Quite right. Ant is a top notch restorer with an excellent reputation in the car building and restoration world. All these back yard garage mechanics here criticising him make me laugh. This is a man that has restored cars that have sold for world records. They’ll moan “oh he didn’t do this or that”. It’s a TV show not a real time programme, they don’t show every singe step as if it’s meant to be a complete how-to guide. Ed was a good mechanic but not an engineer, I don’t recall him building his own exhaust systems as Ant has done.

[@robinoconnor1203]

I suspect this was another episode where they could not find a car, so they refurbished the car for the dealer-owner. They pretend to buy the car then sell it back to the dealer-owner. Its happened a few times on previous episodes in the UK, Honda S2000, Porsche 914, Mazda RX7? probably more. Look carefully you will see new parts fiited that do not appear on the parts list. I really loved the rotted out Ford Bronco, where they found a refurbished painted bodyshell that the owner did not collect, really!

Yet, when Mike adds up the total at the end of the episode, they forgot to add 5000 USD to their bill... Shows you what bs they are selling most of the times!

This is not a Turbo S. A Turbo S has the sport design bodystyle package which this doesnt have. This is a normal Turbo with a S logo glued on to the back. And where did that crest logo go that was glued on the the back but then gone in another scene? 🥴

[@GoldenCroc]

You are mistaken, The turbo S was availible in with this bodystyle, without sport design package. There was also The E81 Powerkit availible for the Turbo, which makes a turbo a "turbo S" before the name turbo S existed for the cayenne. This can possibly be a E81, or it could be a turbo S. The final clue is in the brakes, it got Turbo S/E81 brakes, and considering the cost, it is very unlikely someone would fit them to a normal turbo. Ergo, it surely is a E81 or Turbo S. Cheers.
