Sunday 23rd September 2012Our cayenne kept on getting condensation which has been getting worse over the last 18 months. I was thinking about buying a dehumidifier for home and using it when ever possible. Reason i ask is that my carpet and foam were soaking and 7 litres of water came out on a dehumidifier. Just out of interest if this occurs on a regular basis (I'm not saying mine is) could it be something else? Thanks for that, I really appreciate your comprehensive reply.
Not just a Cayenne issue, 9圆, 9x7 - even 924 / 944 have historically had problems just like this. The drain area holds up to 15 litres of fluid per side, it's not uncommon to get a Cayenne in for service, pull back the arch liners and release the drain blockage and flood the workshop! You can clear them quite easily yourself by lifting the front of the car and peeling back the arch liner behind the suspension strut, the drain exits from the body there and the grommet just gets fouled so the drain retains water. The drains are listed as a service item - to be cleared and inspected - every two years as you rightly said, however, like using a vehicle in dusty conditions requires more frequent air filter changes than recommended, the same advice could be applied. The front drains clog with leaves/debris over time, nothing you can actively do to prevent the problem - they get blown into the engine bay/drain areas during driving and the problem is especially likely to occur if the car is parked for lengthy periods in leafy areas - sounds corny I know but, that's life - I have the same problem with my guttering at home.
