o-learned one? Who me?
What you described is the Cayenne's version of the Microsoft Blue Screen of Death.....NEVER a good thing.
I would have suggested that you bring it immediately to the dealer to see exactly how many codes were thrown and from there try to determine which module(s) went AWOL.
They're actually programmed to scare the **** out of the owners right before they cross the line into 'nakedness'.....helps with new vehicle sales.

Only two codes thrown-- I don't have the numbers off hand but I recall they were in the 300 series.
The tech showed me the corresponding definitons and one was a misfire fourth cyl. and one was a "random" misfire which evidently is automatically triggered by the first one.
Truck has been running great since I picked it up.
We shall see, I guess.

40K service on my 2006 Cayenne Turbo. I told my dealer that the engine has a rough idle. 40K service calls for new plugs which were changed. After checking the coils, all 8 were replaced under warranty! See, be nice to your dealer and they will take care of you!

So those of us that are "nekked" or with third party warranties...any advice from anyone?
I need to run by my dealer for another issues...but scared to ask them to hook up to their "diagnostic equipment" i.e. cash register.
Guess the big question is, will they replace coils if you are out of warranty?

"Remedial action:
Replace all installed bar ignition modules (Part No. 948.602.104.00 or 948.602.104.01 ) with modified bar ignition modules (Part No. 948.602.104.03).
Only replace bar ignition module if it was diagnosed as faulty."
"On vehicles that are still under warranty, the replacement of all bar ignition modules (coils) with Part No. 948.602.104.00 or 948.602.104.01 with bar ignition modules (coils) with Part No. 948.602.104.03 can be claimed under warranty using the following damage code: Damage Code 2820 12 000"
"On vehicles that are no longer covered by warranty, we also recommend that you replace all bar ignition modules (coils) with Part No. 948.602.104.00 or 948.602.104.01 following consultation with the customer with bar ignition modules (coils) with Part No. 948.602.104.03 in the event of a complaint.
Translation of consultation with the customer:
You (the customer) will be asked to hand over your money.
They (PCNA) will be wearing a mask and holding a gun.

I'm still wondering when did they make the updated part available? Was it very recent?
My car has a March '06 build date, which still has the problem. The car drives noticeably better now. With the new coils, it no longer hesitates at around 30 mph.

I don't know if we'll buy the warranty or not, we'll see..
Anyway, I went through a few websites and found our coils here-
http://www2.9parts.com/parts/parts1/...+Coil&dp=false
$20.95 per coil
I'll give them a call in a week or two and see what part# they wear.
I have taken the engine covers off to expose the coils, passenger side could be a pain with the engine mount bar in the way. Otherwise maybe a 2 hour job max for the DIY mechanic including plugs.

Normally, once the coil goes, the plug is fouled.
Wow, a compliment for the forum inmates.

" Did they replace the spark plugs as well?

just called them , no spark plugs replaced, they recommend it @ 60 K service (when I pay for it), I guess I should still be thankful...this Boston dealer, Herb Chambers, seem to know their stuff, so I trust them to have checked the plugs...
I am just wondering what Dr. W. would pay to shut down this forum...

1. thermostat replaced
2. "funny" horn sound (per repair report) fixed
3.all ignition coils replaced
4.software updated
I don't know if it's my imagination or the reality, but the car drives a lot smoother and not hesitating like before...if it's reality, I hope it's permanent.

When the site is down, I'm sure the new owners could claim it "is" indeed Dr. W!

I will call them, the service ticket mentions no plug inspection, I agree with you it would take them few more minutes to replace the plugs, prevention is the least costly practice.
on a happy note, the car still drives better....
