my cayenne s 2005 starter is slow,.. i checked it opened it and nothing wrong with it..... i had a new bat installed and still the same problem..
plz guys need youe help, i heard that cayennes have 2 batteries is this true ,.. need help
thanks

 

Some have two batteries - not all. Open your spare tire well, remove the spare if there is one, remove the woofer assembly if there is one. Is there a battery now revealed? If so - you have two. The other one is under the front drivers seat. You have to remove 2 triple-square bolts from the front (and two plastic trim pieces from the passenger's compartment) - and the seat tilts back to access it. But I suspect that's the one they replaced.

IIRC - the second battery is used for starting on the models with 2 batteries. Mine only has one - thank Dog!

BTW - how did you check/open the starter? That's sorta a big job..

 

my starter was super sluggish for a while also. i changed the battery first which slightly helped, but not much. After a couple weeks i decided to change the starter out and now its starts up strong with no problem. It is a fairly large job because you need to take apart the intake manifold to get down to where the starter is. If you haven't updated your coolant pipes yet than this would be a good time to do so, because the starter is in the same location.

 

i did change the coolent pipes,. 2 days ago at my shop we got the starter out and they told me nothing wrong with my starter ,.. and i did change the bat about a month ago.. u guys know where i can buy a new starter? cause here in jordan they sell it at the dealer ship for 800$ and i think its too much...
thanks

 

I've seen them listed on Ebay and on-line sources for less then $200. It apparently is not a starter exclusive to our engines, so aftermaket is available. Dunno how good the less expensive ones are - but I'd probably give one a try if it can be replaced without R&R of the new coolant pipes (and I believe it can be..)

BTW - did you check if you have two batteries? The one usually overlooked is the one in the rear, and IIRC - that's the one used to start the car when there are two.

 

Yeah ebay is your best source. Just make sure you get the one for your specific engine (v8 or v6)

 

i asked about the 2nd bat. in the back,.. the guy at the shop said it has nothing to do with the start of the car.. u think hes wrong?? before i go and buy another starter..
thanks ll for the help

 

Guy at what shop? A Porsche shop?

 

Do you have KESSY?

 

im sorry but whats the KESSY?? if its the key less option ya i do..

 

Yes, KESSY is the "Keyless Entry and Start SYstem".

With a second rear battery,
If your using the plastic DUMMY key to start your engine, KESSY uses the front MAIN battery.

With a second rear battery,
Using the METAL key to start your engine will enable the REAR battery to be utilized for start function.

 

thanks for info, ya i do use the dummy key.. and its verry slow start and i also used the metal key and the car is still has a slow start .. so u think its the main bat. or both.. although i just hd the main one changed less than 2 months ,.. but i guess its a bad one ..

 

So you do have the second rear battery?

 

not sure still, im gonna try to have a look my self ... but really thanks for all the info bro,.. really appreciate it

 

The option code for the second battery is IJ2C. Look at your options sticker under your rear cargo floor panel.
