This thread makes me wish I kept my gen 1 turbo. After 12 years of ownership and too many Porsche's I let it go and still regret it.

My '05 base with nearly 180k miles has been throwing a CEL for a while. The truck runs fine, so I did the right thing and ignored it. I had my code reader out the other day and out of curiosity I plugged it into the Cayenne to see what the fuss was about. The motor's never had serious work - just plugs and coils - so I figured it was probably evap related and that I'd end up having to replace a bunch of intake parts.
Nope: One code for the passenger side downstream O2 sensor, which might mean a bad sensor or a failing cat. No biggie. I reset it and I've been driving for a few days with no CEL.
Also: My PSM fail light is on, so probably a bad sensor in one of the wheels. I'll troubleshoot that when it warms up.
I love this stupid thing.
I was thinking about replacing it when it got to 200k miles, but since I'm working from home now and will likely continue to do so until I retire, I have no idea if I'll ever get to that many miles. I might have my Cayenne for the rest of my life! I might even be buried in it.
