PCA Spotlight: How to replace an E1 Porsche Cayenne S coolant expansion tank in 30 minutes

Coolant leaks can be the bane of German vehicles, and Porsches are no exception. When PCA Executive Director Vu Nguyen’s 2006 Cayenne S started to smell like coolant, we narrowed the cause to an old coolant expansion tank. Fortunately it took minimal parts and time to replace it — about 30 minutes. Watch this video to find out how to replace the coolant expansion tank in an E1 Cayenne S.

When refilling the system, how would you go about doing so so that the entire system is full without any air pockets? Because its the expansion tank cap the only place to fill coolant? Please help on how to properly fill/bleed.

Very well done. I have one of these, same model year but a Turbo S and this video just saved me several hours of research.

Would love to see more videos like this.
