Hi All,
I have a 53 plate Cayenne Turbo with Air suspension.
I have read that as the car ages it is a common problem for the compressor to fail.
I have for sometime now been getting the air suspension warning message flash up followed by the PSM warning but have still been driving the car as i'm not in the habit of throwing it around!
Porsche garages or specialist garages have said they would replace compressor but I have seen that these compressors are easy to repair (just 4 cross head screws to open up) and you can get new piston rings for 20 odd quid that will outlast the compressor!
I therefore want to try do this myself.
However, as a novice, this brings a few questions...
1. Is the air suspension mechanical or electrical?
2. Where is the compressor located and is it easy to get to and remove or would I need a garage with a ramp etc..
I've heard it's either under passenger seat or possibly under rear seats?
3. Any thing else I should be concerned or look out for? I am assuming checking air lines I guess for damage too?
All help appreciated and if anyone has a diagram even better
Thanks in advance
