The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Every torque figure, clearance and repair sequence in this 2021 Porsche Cayenne factory service and repair manual is tied to this exact year, engine and trim — whether your Cayenne carries the 2.9L V6 (DCAB), the 3.0L V6 (DCBE) or one of the 4.0L V8s (DCUA and DCUD) — so what you work to is what Porsche published for your vehicle, not a value carried over from an adjacent model year.

Engines

  • 3.0L V6 (DCBE) Turbocharged Gas
  • 3.0L V6 (DCBE) Turbocharged Plug-In Hybrid EV-Gas (PHEV)
  • 4.0L V8 (DCUD) Turbocharged Gas
  • 2.9L V6 (DCAB) Turbocharged Gas
  • 4.0L V8 (DCUA) Turbocharged Gas
  • 4.0L V8 (DCUA) Turbocharged Plug-In Hybrid EV-Gas (PHEV)

Trims

  • Turbo Coupe Sport Utility 4-Door
  • Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe Sport Utility 4-Door

Known issues on the 2021 Cayenne. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the rear axle: the lock nut on the trailing arm can break from stress corrosion, and a broken lock nut may misalign the rear axle, causing a loss of control. A follow-up recall covers cars whose rear axle alignment was not inspected after that first repair was carried out, where misalignment may cause premature or uneven tire wear. A third covers the steering column, where the screw connection between the column and the steering box may fail and leave the steering column detached, again risking a loss of control. A fourth covers the seats: the passenger seat back heating element was not installed, which may impact calibration of the Occupant Classification System, so the front passenger air bag may fail to deploy. The fifth covers the rearview camera, whose image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse, reducing the driver's view behind the vehicle and failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111. Owners have filed 19 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are checking rear axle alignment after trailing-arm work, torquing the steering column connection or diagnosing an Occupant Classification System fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the right figure for your specific 2021 Cayenne.
