noise from Cardan shaft?
Thanks in advance for helping me out. I did Jimi Fix on my Cayenne V6's Cardan shaft a few months ago and it has been driving great. Recently I noticed some small rotating noise at low speed (<15 mile/hr) accelerating or decelerating, probably from the passenger side at the bottom. There was no vibration / shaking other than the noise. I didn't hear anything at high speed. Anyone with ideas on how to troubleshoot more? Thanks!

Thanks! Today I managed to find some time to get under and take a look. My Jimi fix done 8 months ago now seems to have some issue. The hoses moved a bit to the back and one of them on top was torn. While re-positioning the hoses back to the middle region, I noticed the zip ties were not as tight as before. Maybe I'd do a new Jimi fix again?

If it was me, I'd retighten the zip ties and check it again in a few weeks.

Thanks for the suggestions. Could you tell me details of the hoses and zip ties you used? Amazon links would be great! I think I'd re-do it with some better materials.

The tensile strength of zip ties varies.

I realize jimi fix is not the intended application but look for a zip tie with a class 1 designation.
