Default New Pig owner...First ownership initiation !!!!

New Pig owner...First ownership initiation !!!! Like Rob Budd a long time 928 owner.

As a long time Porsche owner I too have just purchaced an 2004 CS. Picked it up a few weeks ago am loving it. I traded my E500 benz and my old tow vehicle Range Rover. Trying to cobine the fleet!!..The CS is in great shape, owned by a prior PCA menber that traded it through a local VW dealer for the new Turbo Toureg.

I knew it still had the origonal coolant tubes but the price was fair that when they fail, Not if, It would be worth the $500.00 in parts as I do my own wrenching..

So what do you think happens when I am out at lunch from work yesterday.........Coolant warning and the smell of coolant..I guess I hace my next weekend planned out already !!!!!!

Initiation complete..........

It is generally cheaper to replace the tubes before the fail rather than after they fail.
You run the risk of having to replace the starter and rear seals in a post leak scenario.
But then again, it's just coolant under the bridge now in your case.

Welcome to the P!g Pen.
You are a rare minority ... Shark owner and now P!g owner as well.

Welcome to the Cayenne forum. The '04CS is the gold standard of Cayenne ownership. We are a serious group that avoids frivolity.

Editorial Comment:
I believe the 07 Cayenne S is the US Gold Standard.
The 03 Cayenne is the 2 dollar bill.

Welcome aboard David! As Lewis mentioned, owning both a shark & a P!G does in fact put us in a minority group however, the love for V-8's keeps our passion sparkling!

You seem to have taken your coolant tube initiation quite well. Hopefully, you won't have any further major problems with your ride that may hamper your Cayenne "experience".

Hopefully?

Hope?
Oh yes, the last thing that goes through a Cayenne owner's mind after both feet leave the cliff

All manufacturers and models have issue and "quirks" some hit harder than others. Hey comming from the Land Rover word and working with Toyotas over the pas 20 years it may not be that bad !!

David

PS..I posted an ad to sell my 19" Cayenne sport design wheels and tires. But it does not show up..what gives

PSS.. I had a web link in my signature for my site since it started..One post in the cayenne forum and the mod kills it !!!

..Is this the PIG way of karma !!!!!!!!!

I now realize the Aviator was froth with portent.

Off topic, out of hand, unserious mods. Just embarrassing.

Gort!! Gort!!
