Higher Oil Consumption Due to Faulty Oil Scraper Rings
Vehicle type:
Cayenne S
Model Year:
As of MY2005
Situation:
Faulty oil scraper rings
Information:
Faulty oil scraper rings may have been installed in engines with the engine number range listed below produced during the time period between June 14, 2004 and July 9, 2004.
This can lead to oil consumption of more than 2.11 quarts/2 liters per 620 miles/1000km in the engines of the affected vehicles.
If this high consumption has been determined after a running time of 620 miles/1000km, all oil scraper rings in the affected engines are to be replaced.
Because this concerns a production error on the oil scraper ring, this fault will be remedied by replacing the oil scraper rings. Do not replace the engine to remedy this fault.
Note:
Please return the replaced oil scraper rings to the Warranty Test Center / Atlanta PDC using normal return procedures.
