malcolm Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) any diy folks have experience with the transmission service on a Cayenne? if so, what 'tool' did you use to transfer the new oil into the pan?

Keith Adams Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi Malcolm, I haven't done it, but trying to file this stuff away for future reference (I just bought an 04 Cayenne Turbo). Are you wondering about how to fill with a siphon tube like this: http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/auto_transmission/autotranservicing.html http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/auto_transmission/tranfilchange18.JPG Quote Link to comment
malcolm Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) thx Keith, that would perhaps work but painfully slow. The transmission takes ~9L of oil so was looking at the electric pump from PA or I could source a transfer pump that uses air and hook it to my compressor. https://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/battery-operated-pump/A-p8555765e Edited May 17, 2018 by malcolm Quote '21 Macan GTS PDK Miami Blue/Black, 7k kms '93 928 GTS 5 speed Polar Silver/Linen, 192k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Black/Ivory, 190k kms '09 Cayenne GTS Tiptronic Nordic Gold/Black, +336k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Red/Champagne, 110k miles (US car) Link to comment
ErikA Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 That looks like an exercise in frustration. I'm guessing there's no fill plug because magical "lifetime" oil? Quote Erik 2001 911 Turbo X50 1980 911SC - Black, 3.2 litre short stroke SOLD! 2002 BMW M3 - Carbon Black over Cinnamon Link to comment
malcolm Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 That looks like an exercise in frustration. I'm guessing there's no fill plug because magical "lifetime" oil? in all seriousness the Porsche Cayenne gearbox is serviceable and has a factory recommended change interval at 250k kms; perhaps thats a lifetime for most but my GTS is running perfectly and intend to keep it that way I want to be in the factory when they do the first fills on all fluids; probably nothing like how its done in the real world.

Keith Adams Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The best source for Aisin Type IV fluid is from Toyota (my Volvo uses it as well). Much cheaper from them. Quote Link to comment

malcolm Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 follow up: I bought the battery powered oil transfer pump from PA and tested on a large olive oil container to more manageable kitchen size bottles..........works perfect. Confidence is high the tranny op. will be successful Quote '21 Macan GTS PDK Miami Blue/Black, 7k kms '93 928 GTS 5 speed Polar Silver/Linen, 192k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Black/Ivory, 190k kms '09 Cayenne GTS Tiptronic Nordic Gold/Black, +336k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Red/Champagne, 110k miles (US car) Link to comment

malcolm Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 actually my wife was the one to suggest the test as the bigger can of EVOO is to big and heavy for her to pour from; brownie points Quote '21 Macan GTS PDK Miami Blue/Black, 7k kms '93 928 GTS 5 speed Polar Silver/Linen, 192k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Black/Ivory, 190k kms '09 Cayenne GTS Tiptronic Nordic Gold/Black, +336k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Red/Champagne, 110k miles (US car) Link to comment
malcolm Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) The best source for Aisin Type IV fluid is from Toyota (my Volvo uses it as well). Much cheaper from them. I researched all the typical sources for the transmission oil including amazon, German Auto parts and Pelican etc etc..........the Toyota dealership is by far the cheapest. Mobil 3309 is apparently an equivalent. I bought 12L of oil, a new transmission filter and pan gasket. Add the electric pump and a few hours of my time the transmission service was complete for less than $200.

malcolm Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 wanted to add a pic of the kit I got that allows the oil to get up and into the transmission: Quote '21 Macan GTS PDK Miami Blue/Black, 7k kms '93 928 GTS 5 speed Polar Silver/Linen, 192k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Black/Ivory, 190k kms '09 Cayenne GTS Tiptronic Nordic Gold/Black, +336k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Red/Champagne, 110k miles (US car) Link to comment
