I got new OEM valve body 95532503910, but it is different than mine!

Please can you look at the picture and tell me what these difference between old and new body is?

On NEW one is one hole more to plug or put something in...

Now I don't know what to do.

Please help.

 

Well this is port for some inductive sensor used in newer models.
So If you don't have it you don't plug it, and that is it.

 

Good info to know since a lot of people have had to do this and there will be more.

 

so... are you replacing this due to the famous clunking? Or is there more to the story?

 

I been clunking along for a year now.

 

I think in another post he was having the hard 1-2 shifting problem.

 

Yes, Valve body was changed due the famous clunking, rough downshift from 5-4,4-3,3-2.
Well car ****s like new now, smooth with no clunking.

Rough 1-2 is still present, but this is TCM related not valve body. So TCM has to changed with newer SW version.

 

If you upgraded the valvebody you should also do the TCM at the same time. There was some back and forth on this but my techs were all adament about needing to do both since the new valvebody is a different design. Mine has been fine ever since.

 

My car needs to take her fiber to be regular.

No but on the real, can't the TCM just be reflashed? Why does it need replacing if it is flashable?

 

I'll replace TCM also. I just have to figure out which part number I need and I'll make order.

 

95561802203 for 2003 or 2004 (up to VIN number 48466) Cayenne S
95561802221 for 2004 (from VIN number 48467) through 2006 Cayenne S

 

Hey Tim do you concur that replacement of the TCM is always called for? For some reason I thought they could be reflashed..

 

But if I order 95561802203 will these be updated with new software?

If you look this TSB looks like that it needs to be 955618022AX.

So I'm not sure now which one is the right one...

Or will work TCM 95561802212 from MY05 which already have updated software?

 

I seem to remember that the originals could not be reflashed, but the replacements could. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

 

I'm just parroting what I was told at the time but they (Hilton Head Porsche) said it had to be a new TCM to go with the new VB, and the tech was a good friend of mine so I trust his judgment. It wasn't expensive as far as Porsche parts go, $300 something. My thinking is it's probably technically possible to do a reflash but Porsche isn't having the dealers do it that way. They'd probably charge you $400 to do a reflash anyway.
