    Front Inside Tire Wear

    Peter Smith of the Porsche Club of America's tech section has just added three new tech question and answers on the Cayenne. You can see them here: web page

    The question of front inside tire wear came up again. Smith says he has not seen the problem recur after a good front end alignment. This was also the subject of a TSB, #4495, where it was noted the suspension of the Cayenne would settle over the first 120 miles and alignment needed to be performed after that.

    The other two question/answers cover the retrofit of the collapsible spare and the advisability of a secondary cat bypass. Smith does not care for the sound of the bypassed 2nd cat and prefers a replacement of the muffler with one of the many aftermarket units available, for those desiring a louder exhaust.

    Spare Tire vs. Second Battery

    Is he right about the spare tire not going with the second battery?

    I thought was any two of:
      - Spare tire
      - Sub woofer
      - Second battery

    The key being that you have to have the proper sub woofer (small vs. large) to coexistence with the spare tire or second battery.

    I swear I saw a post about this somewhere.

    Re: Spare Tire vs. Second Battery

    I believe you are correct in theory. What is possible, or reasonable, in practice may be a different story. As a practical matter I'll bet it's darn difficult, for example, to add the secondary battery after the fact, or to remove an existing secondary battery and add the compact subwoofer and spare. I think it is relatively easy to add the spare after the fact if you already have a compact subwoofer. There was a point in the production when US bound Cayennes stopped receiving a secondary battery and started getting the compact subwoofer. All US Cayennes receive the Bose sound system so all have some type of subwoofer. I have heard of some owners disconnecting and removing their larger subwoofers and adding the spare over the secondary battery. You lose some bass of course but not too much. In the ROW Cayennes, if the Bose was not ordered you could have the 2nd battery or spare or both, no problem.

    I'm sure you did. I've posted information about this at least half a dozen times myself.

    Re: Spare Tire vs. Second Battery

    His comment on the Cat-Bypass is a little misleading as it was in combination weith an aftermarket exhaust, he may be right, but with the stock muffler it sounds great.
