Short autobahn run at 260kph in my 24 S E-Hybrid. Very steady. A much more relaxed experience at speed than my 23 911 4 GTS !

 

How did you find the steering? 9Y0 steering is heavier at all speeds than I think it needs to be. Far too heavy, needlessly so, at parking speeds.

 

Whenever I start to think that the Cayenne steering is getting a little bit heavy, I drive this...

Then the Cayenne is just right!

 

Sounds like a lot of fun! I miss my German Autobahn. Wish we had one here in the Pacific Northwest.

 

Oil change! 48,350 miles now, approx 6k miles on the oil.

1.5 hours total for the job working at a continuous pace. This included getting tools out, putting them away, pouring used oil from the catch pan into the bottles for disposal, wash up, and reset the oil service interval with the iCarsoft CR Max.

Nothing seems to be leaking. I noticed some oil at the base of the filter housing. It can't be ruled out that I spilled it during this, or a previous, oil change when removing the filter. I will keep an eye on it.

Separately, I looked at the water pump from below. It seems the pump could be removed from below if the induction tubes and throttle body are removed. It doesn't make sense to me to see others removing the fascia and loosening the radiator on a V6. V8, yes because there is far less space between front of engine and rear of radiator. And the V8 water pump is 2x the size of the V6 water pump.

edit: PCSS does not specify bumper, fascia or radiator removal for V6 water pump replacement, thankfully.

 

Stealth wrapped all the piano finish and screens. They don’t show fingerprints as badly now and also reduce glair. Total cost was about $200 and the bonus is you get protection so it doesn’t wear for future resale. 🤙🏼

 

Any pics you can share? Still studying to see how I would like it.

 

Moved my 21yo daughter to her new flat in S London (from Northampton) 70 miles each way of horrendous traffic, speed cameras, 20mph limits in London etc.

Seats down, parcel shelf out and filled to the max, managed to get all her **** in, surprising for a Turbo GT!

 

Vacuumed the carpets!

 

Seconded. I'm looking into doing this for our GTS on order. Would love to see what this looks like.

 

Ready for Bavarian winter - 4 x 22" Contis. €1750 fitted including German tax.

 

500 mile round trip, averaged 25.5mpg. Quite satisfied with that. Driving was 2/3 interstate at 75mph, the rest was a mix of local roads plus state and Federal highways. A little pedal-to-the-floor-driving but not too much!

While late for an appointment on Friday trying to find parking in an unfamiliar downtown, I miscalculated a high curb! To say I was not happy is an understatement! I have an appointment this Thursday to get repaired. 🙄
