That's a little more than half price for one corner of the Cayenne with the air suspension and adjustable shocks. But it sure rides nice.
Sure hope I don't need one of those. Going to find out if I need just brake pads, or pads and rotors. Probably more than that since the pedal is still spongy after replacing a leaking booster vacuum line. Whatever it is it is something expensive because I am getting the BRAKE light but no messages from the computer like pads or fluid pressure. It's going to be a $15K car if this keeps up. Glad I only spent 10K on it.
Oh the turn signal doesn't tick and there is no seat belt, or left key in, or left lights on warning buzzers. The replacement speaker from a junk yard is $29 shipped. If I go to a dealer, they want to replace the whole instrument cluster for $1500 including labor. Yikes, for just a speaker! Maybe if I could also get the replacement cluster with white gauge faces? Need to get in there and make sure someone didn't just unplug the darn thing to turn off the seat belt warning buzzer. With all the cheap LED lighting everywhere I just don't know.
There is some weird things too. It looks like someone has removed the driver's seat. I know the battery is under there, but there is a way to get to the battery by just tilting back the seat and not removing it. The trim covering the seat rails was not installed properly and a couple of plugs for the covers are missing. Not having any luck finding the plugs online. May have to get a part number and start calling around. Did find a complete set of the rail covers without the plugs (4 pieces) for $25 so those plugs should be pretty cheap. Found a quarter between the seat and center console checking it out.
Did fix something for cheap yesterday. The ashtrays on both back doors had a coating of glue that used to hold leather trim on them. It cleaned right off with some rubbing alcohol and luckily the plastic underneath is close enough to the leather color you can't tell. Looks so much better than that coating of gray sticky glue.
Found the jack and tool kit that goes with it from a dismantler is $200. It's missing the jack and about half the tools including the lug wrench.
Sidney, Once I get everything working properly I will order those euro side lights from you.
