Diagnosed low coolant level in the reservoir.

No CEL, no overheating.

Suspected the water pump but looks like it is the coolant shutoff valve or thermostat or vacuum solenoid N489 in the area.

Water pump showed no signs of leaking.

Cooling system hardware on these cars is junk.

Car is a MY20 S with 49k miles covered by CPO. Appointment on Thursday for new front tires and will ask them to inspect the shutoff valve, thermostat, vacuum solenoid N489 and coolant level. Asking for positive thoughts for my dealings with the SA.

Detailed the engine bay. Looks good!

Used detailing spray on all plastic covers and cowl drain. Cleaned oil fill cap and fill tube, top of coolant reservoir and battery jump terminal block.

Hope all goes well! I have the 4.0TT V8 but that's how it all started for me on the way for CPO to replace my water pump. Had low coolant but still above the min line starting at about 80K; dealer inspected and said all was good and topped off coolant. Around 85K, same thing, it was low but this time below min-dealer said all good and same drill. Come 89K and its below but I also get the "Low coolant" display; I had some coolant handy and tried to top off, and lo and behold I heard dripping- there was a coolant leak and car stranded at work and had it towed to dealer where they replaced everything under CPO. Fingers crossed!

Followed this car through a snowstorm leaving Telluride a couple of Christmas ago. We were in our X5. Was such a cool and picturesque moment, I had to take a picture. The car looked so cool, it was one of the reasons I decided to get a Cayenne.

Was never able to pass it so I couldn’t tell if it was a Cayenne or a Macan. Is it a Cayenne?

Our 2020 X5

Leaving Telluride, CO

2 years ago the Cayenne didn't have the license plate in that position, so I'm guessing it's a Macan.

Agree it looks like a Macan. Overall height:width ratio is squatty like a Macan.

^^All this time I thought it was a Cayenne. Oh well. No regrets ordering one over the Macan, as cool as the Macan looked that day.

Schnave is right again.

Cayenne coupe. License plate as Schnave mentioned and low coupe rear roofline.

Maybe not. Just noticed the rear wiper on the vehicle. (And updated the annotated photo). Cayenne Coupé doesn’t have a rear wiper. The plot thickens . . . 😀

To add to the mix, our Christmas trip to Telluride was in December 2021, if that helps narrow down the model year.

The Cayenne coupe rather doesn't have roof rails. The one in the picture looks like it does
Macan could be also in this external trim:
