I have a lot of condensation in my exhaust my Porsche Cayenne S 2.9 2021y. Antifreeze is clean and does not fall, oil is excellent. Where is this big condensation coming from? The temperature of the antifreeze is 90 degrees, the temperature of the oil is 92-96 degrees. No overheating. No loss of power. Fuel consumption is normal. I have changed different gas stations, I always fill up with 100 octane.

[@GARRYEASTON]

Why do you oil the head bolts? Will using an lubricant cause over tightening.

[@Jfjs58-g]

I always wondered if that’s a good thing to do, if too much oil gets in the bottom of that hole inside the block and doesn’t escape through the threads then the bolt can’t be tightened correctly since oil can’t be compressed. But then these guys did that many times if always went well then maybe it’s not an issue.

[@GARRYEASTON]

@@Jfjs58-gI also wonder if the excess oil is going between the head gasket

[@VAGTechnic]

We put oil on the bolt thread and head only a bit to help lube the whole process when tightening the head down . Some bolts should not be lube at all because you will never tight them to the NM spec 😂. These are very long so the whole point is when you turning the head of the bolt the body doesn’t get stuck what stretch the bolt and on the end it’s not tight actually

Best thing you can buy for this engine is the heat cover for the turbo and exhaust. But still it’s on the top which means hot air goes UP so it’s not heating the whole engine bay as much as the older 3.0TFSI
