How do you change airintake filter for Porsche cayenne turbo 2004?

Answer 1

Located on both the left and right front of the vehicle engine compartment, you'll need to remove the plastic panels that cover the sides of the engine compartment. I like to remove the plastic twist screws with a dime to avoid scratching them. A quarter turn does sit. Some are stubborn, so you might have to use a finger nail or something similar in thickness to get under the screw to lift it up. Just push them back in when replacing, no need to turn them. The filters are in the large black rectangle shaped plastic boxes with two spring loaded stainless steel clips on top, about 3 inches apart at the front sides of the engine compartment. The left side can be accessed with removing the black plastic cap on the silver plastic cover that sits over the spark plug coils. Just pull it off. Now you need to release the spring loaded clip on the wiring bracket under the black cap, you need a flat headed screw driver to do this. This gets the wiring harness out of the way. Now undo the spring loaded clips on the top of the air filter housing and pull it open, allowing access to the filter.

The one on the right is basically the same process. Remove black plastic cap and wiring harness. After removing the black plastic covers and screws you'll see the black box with the spring clips on top. Remove them and you have access to the filter. You now need the filter rejuvenation kit, comes with a cleaner spray and oil. No need to buy new filters if the others can be cleaned and oiled. I just bend them a bit and shake them getting the major chunks of crap out. The directions say you can wash them with soap and water but I like the spray cleaner. Spray them on cardboard and newspapers to absorb the cleaner. You also have a cabin filter which is located under the glove box. Use a trouble light etc. and you'll see a rectangular shaped black plastic box. Undo the two screws to access the filter. This one you have to replace.
