My Porsche Cayenne Broke Again 🇺🇦

- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Just when I thought everything was fine, on my way to the lake last weekend, on the hottest day so far of summer, my A/C went out again. Yes, I had just refilled the refrigerant (freon) a few weeks ago, but turns out there was a leak that needed to be repaired.

Yay, Johnny and his Porsche! Such an intriguing adventure where anything can happen!
Let's see when some dirty fuel hits the injectors, that will be fun..
My friend from Odessa owned a Porsche Cayenne. The fact is that some spare parts for the Volkswagen Touareg are the same as for the Porsche Cayenne (interchangeable). He called dealers in Ukraine by phone, and they asked him what model of car he owned. When he answered "Touareg", they called the price of the same part 10-20 percent cheaper than when he answered "Cayenne". 😂
marketing scams
Yep, they do that with Lincoln's, Cadillac's and every other highend model they made! All you have to do is get the part number and cross reference it to a cheaper model and order it for that car! Once I was stripping a BMW when I saw it had a GETRAG transmission commonly used in GM cars so it's really a good idea to even cross reference different makes as well!
Great parking skills, Johnny :D
Most Porshe owners are very familiar with their local mechanics.
Yup Johnny #1 customer for that mechanic.
Older Porsche vehicles are rock solid but simple but most people these days want all the bells and whistles a new car has to offer! Oddly enough those are the things that give you trouble!
Johnny I love your videos with one minor issue. You make too many negative comments about the US. You grew up in San Francisco. That is not representative of the rest of country. We have cook outs in parks, we hike in nature with family and friends. We go to ATMs without getting robbed. I do enjoy watching your videos and appreciate your work. You come across as a wonderful human being which is testament to your parents.
I feel this way about the UK. Get sick of those who knock it. No country is perfect but some countries are real dog poop such as Russia. All of us who live in free democracies should treasure that and know it's worth protecting.
That same free democracy that recently locked y’all down and wouldn’t let you be free? Nice.
Johnny should have a second travel channel for all his trips to the Porsche dealer. 🤣🤣
Johnny you need to drive that Porsche into Black Sea hahaha
You need to get what driver has,,,,,Toyota Camry
Johnny let me learn you a important fact....but first I love you're videos and all, and see them every time they come out...but take this advice all that is working can be broke...that's life...take it with a smile and get it mended. Doesnt matter if it's a Bentley or a Toyota...we all need a little TLC...and change that cracked window....plz it annoys me ...hahaha..love from Norway..keep up the good work
When the war is over he will replace the windshield 🤗
It’s a cool looking car, but this is why people drive Toyota 4 Runners
My Hilux will outlive me easily
Something I learned the hard way: Never assume that's the ONLY leak.
Exactly, they still have to check the rest of the lines as there may be more leaks.
Johnny films his trips to the mechanic to make sure they don’t rip him off.
Intelligence Level 1000 😂
I'm starting to appreciate American cars more and more. I don't want that Porsche Cayenne crap.
If you want something reliable, buy a Japanese car.
Why the heck would you route AC lines by the wheels? A stray rock can ruin your day big time! Johnny, dump the Porsche and go with a Toyota - you can find one with 100k and be confident it will still last forever. Heck you can find one with 200k *if it's been well maintained* and expect another 100-200k out of it. They may cost a bit more than other non-luxury cars but never need major repairs and if they do are much cheaper to fix.
Haha,this is the first time i´ve heard someone rant over too many climate zones in a car, like "Passengers? Why would they need air!??😄
you don't need A/C, drive with opened windows and put seat covers in wooden beads this way your back doesn't sweat
Johnny cracks me up…introduces a ‘new friend’ then call’s him ‘military guy’ 😂😂😂
It's not a common occurrence that people get robbed after getting money in the USA. First off, people here don't regularly exchange money like in Ukraine, and most people use debit cards and not cash.
Remember he is from San Francisco... He loves to Sh!t on the USA, but at the same time doesn't like the outskirts of Kyiv because they're not fancy enough like the USA. 🤔 Typical Resident of California
Yea I had no idea what he was talking about. Out of the hundreds of times my family, friends, or I’ve gotten money out I’ve never heard of attempted robbery.
Jesus Johnny get the windscreen done too 😂
Those mechanics are cool. They should start their own UA-cam channel
They don’t have time for that with all of the Porsches they have to fix, especially Johnny’s.
28:29 The best way to get your car fixed is to camp out in the waiting room. The worst way is to go home and wait. Stay visible.
I had a Cayenne a few years ago. It was a tough vehicle to keep on the road at bay area repair prices. Looks like you found a good shop that works on high end stuff. Good luck!
Agreed. I had one on a 4 year lease. Gave it back when done / out of warranty
@danlee1798 Did Porsche even have a Cayenne in 1997? I thought the first model year was early 2000’s
its part of having a seriously complicated vehicle, just work through the problems and identify how to avoid them repeatedly...ie : drive it more often if you can, run a full scan on it every few months or so to find problems that are ahead, maybe even buy your own scanner to save the fee, good luck Johnny!
I thank GOD I own a FORD that is a piece of cake to fix if anything goes wrong. I've done my own A/C (ala Chris fix) and brakes and struts.
Thank for your video's love watching them at lunch at work
Jonny... I'm not trying to be rude, but that car will in the end cost you a small fortune and the older it gets the more unreliable it will become. And due to that it's a Porsche it needs to go to a specialist. There is a reason why Porsche is a premium car brand and with that it comes with Premium price's on parts. But not only that if you go out on UA-cam, most of the most unreliable cars is German and British car brands. I bet you that the Hyundai i40 5:07 is the most reliable car in that workshop. If you want a premium but hazzle free car, you should have a look on some of the Lexus SUV's or Volvo XC 90. But in general just look at the Japanese or Korean cars they are the most reliable cars out there. German car brand just live on old merits, they where great back in the 90'th but now the are stuffed with so much tech and they break down, so sorry to say but they are crap. But if you really want a car brand from the VAG group, you should look at Skoda. They have proven to probably have the best reliability. And just think about it for a while, in the last video you told us that you would maybe travel and be away for around 3 month. Leaving a Porsche for 3 month when you know it needs to be driven, will kill it if you don't drive it and it will breakdown more and more. So just to give you advice, even if you love that car. But it's not worth it. If you have a car get something that is less expensive and more reliable. But it all up to you in the end, but that is my advice to you!
It looks like a really great coat, longer version too. So will be so warm for you in the winter
Johnny, can you please tell us the radio station you were listening to while driving there in Ukraine in this video? Is it possible to listen to it over the internet? I've never been to Ukraine before, but I really enjoy that type of music you were listening to in this video.
The song is
NK Обіцяю
Now imagine that soviet Lada (Жигули) didn't have AC at all! Nothing to brake 😂
Including the actually, almost non-existant brakes. 😂
$240 for a Porsche service!!! I'm shipping my car over there for all future services!
Git rid of it and buy a Toyota!
A 17 years old Toyota breaks down too. If not it would be rusty like hell. Biggest problem with Toyota in Norway is rust. You don't fond many of them from 2005 or older. And Toyota is the world mest boring car brand there is.
@@haakonchristensen2880 Age has very little to do with it, it's about wear! We have plenty of 17 year old Toyotas still on the road here in America! Porsche is overrated and over priced, by 2000 the quality of German cars headed down the toilet! I worked in the Auto industry for over 30 years, I know what I am talking about!
@living-wellon-less5669 dummeste I've ever heard. Porche is way better than Toyota and all car brands have issues after 17 years on the road. All brands have their problems and Toyota rust like hell. Porche is way better in every way, and at least better than all American shit cars. Another thing is that Toyota are well known for fix problems on services without telling the owner. They cheat.
Things like batteries and ac lines fail. Pretty normal maintenance. Happens to Toyotas also.
My 04 Tacoma 4x4 is still beautiful… no rust issues. Did have to replace the a/c compressor at around 160k (southern state so used year around) cost around 1k. No good reason to sell it after 19 years as my daily driver.
What a lovely restaurant and Ukrainian food, and beautiful view!
thanks to your videos, I never ever buy a Porsche, even if I would have the money 😱
Yes because a salvaged 14 year old Porsche is a true representation of the brand.
Buy if that's what he could afford...
Johnny stops at a gas station and the attendant approaches his car and says can I help you and Johnny says fill her up! The attendant fills up the tank and returns to the drivers side to get paid when he notices 2 golf tees in the cup holder and asks Johnny "what are those" Johnny said "golf tees" the attendant says "what are they for" Johnny says "they hold up my balls when I am driving" the attendant says "that Ferdinand Porsche guy thinks of everything don't he"
My husband was born and raised on the left bank -- (the last stop on the subway line ). They were new buildings that his parents moved into when they were married in the 60's -- even he says that it's depressing to look at (from an adult perspective), but the memories of him growing up are there... he took me to Kyiv in 2019... some of the buildings are very reminiscent of the old soviet buildings in Poland -- not necessarily Krakow, but definitely in other parts of the country like the Kashubian region and the Suwalki region (where my family is from).
you need to fix the windshield
no offence Johnny but the worst thing you can do is buy a porsche after its 3 year warranty runs out. they are a disaster to maintain after that, with extremely sensitive and super expensive parts. not a smart move for anyone needing to or wanting to stretch their cash ... best get rid of it asap before spending more and more on it. not to mention the high fuel prices and consumption. go EV imo, Tesla have fantastic offers at the moment. all the best brother
I've never heard a good thing about those cars.
WOw, and honest Dealership, here in the USA they try and rip you off on everything. Great Vid Dan, and happy about your car is fixed, or in the process.
Thats fucking true.
They need to put die in the system so they can see exactly where it is leaking, as much as it has sat the seal in the compressor could have gone dry! The compressor produces about 200 pounds of pressure on the high side and no rubber seal can hold that much pressure so the first seal (which you can't see) is made out of ceramic saturated with refrigeration oil and that holds the bulk of the pressure and then there is the outer seal that is made out of rubber/silicone or whatever and that stops any oil/refrigerant from leaking and keeps dirt out of the compressor shaft! Once you get it fixed don't let it sit more that a few days without starting and running the A/C or the defrost but the first time you use the defrost check to make sure the compressor clutch engages and spins the compressor!
Refrigerator doesn’t just disappear. If it needs a recharge, it has a leak, simple as that.
You are getting great mechanic service. In the US you often have to make an appointment weeks in advance and things rarely get looked at right after you bring it in. I was amazed they got right on it! It’s lousy to be out a vehicle but let me tell you, it would take much longer in the US.
What you’re saying is just plain stupid, US is a very big country, it doesn’t take weeks to get an appointment everywhere at every shop.
I drive an Acura TSX V6, which is basically a European Accord with a V6 engine. In close to 14 years, and over 150K miles, I only had to replace two speakers and the driver's side power window switches. Now that I work from home, I drive the car less than 5K miles a year. Driving so few miles, I wouldn't be surprised if the car lasts me for the rest of my life; even though I'm only in my mid 40s. Not buying a reliable car brand is insane to me. Even if you're under warranty, who wants to be in and out of mechanic shops? Since I drive so few miles, I haven't been to a mechanic in close to 2 year. My car is definitely due for an oil change :-).
Congrats, but you still have to change oil at least once a year and do other maintenance.
Sometimes the AC just needs a simple charge, sometimes its a leak, but yeah its worth trying to charge before spending money in the auto shop lol
Its a closed system, if you need to charge it, it is leaking and you need to do something bigger than refilling.
A day in the life, these things happen and you made the best of it by getting with Vadym and met a new person. It does suck waiting for things to get done, but that is life I guess. Thanks for another cool video, happy that your car is fixed.
We have a Cayenne a year younger than yours and I love it. Vehicles are always hard work, but that's how it is. You got a lot done in a couple of days. I love the new Winter coats.
Toyotas aren't hard work, just Porsches.
If you don’t use the a/c regularly the o rings deteriorate, and starts leaking…
4 zone airco. my a4 from 2012 has also for zone end even than it was not special. and normaly they use a blue light and the fluorecent will show up
What a surprise 😂😂
Good Service !!! Also repaired my GTS only there.
@JohnnyFD1. are you still in Kiev? Going to visit other Ukraine cities?
I'm still here. We can do a GTS meetup, DM me: instagram.com/johnnyfdj
I don’t think I ever knew a Porsche that didn’t have to stay overnight…
36:33 next time try to park inbetween the lines :D
i would probably switch to toyota either highlander or rav4! :)
Johnny, when they recharge it have them add some dye so if it leaks, it will be easy to pinpoint the source the next time.
Did you not watch this or he last video? They did exactly that a month ago, and reiterated it to Johnny (not like he’d remember) in this video…
They’re a decent shop that anyone with a clue can easily see. Not the ripoff scam artist types like most. I believe they a;so said that they would be adding more dye to it again to find any additional or new leaks in the future…
Dude, you shouldn't have bought a Porsche. For its price, you could buy a better car, newer and more reliable. There would be fewer show-offs, but Ukraine is not Monaco or Miami. Show-offs here mean less than reliability.
You know what's interesting? While mechanics talk to each other, and let's face it, Johnny doesn't quite have a grip on their fluent language, they might be talking shit about foreigners behind their backs. In a lot of countries they do. But for some reason Ukrainians remain polite and respectful even when their client doesn't understand what they're saying.
It's about UA mentality. UA people will never fck over foreigners, because it's "unfair" and too easy. They prefer internal conflicts. So, to be a tourist in Ukraine is really a gift. Everyone will try to help you and even some bad guys will avoid you.
Nice Johnny they got you up and running again! Make sure you keep up with the oil changes and if that shop does timing chains... Do you see many electric vehicles over there?
Hey thanks! There are a few Tesla's here, but very few charging stations outside of the city.
@@JohnnyFD Dude, I love my Gen 1 Chevy Volt, having the back up engine range makes all the difference. It is a car but I have been able to plow through snow banks and mud with it. Do you see many of those, I think the export version is called like a Volterra or Voltere something like that
Get rid of that junker
After owning a Mercedes ML63, and then X5 for a couple of years, I decided to buy Toyota for daily use as it saves money, depreciates less in value, and also you feel more confident every morning when you start the car. ✌️🏼
If you have full coverage insurance, you should not Burn it 🔥 😂
Tinted front side glass is crazy :D
Not everywhere in U.S. will you get robed. I live in a small city, and no one has ever robbed me. Our crime rate is almost nil.
Remember he's from San Fran Gaylifornia where crime is out of control
😂😂 Ohh @JohnnyFD you’re funny dude! 4 zones in 1 car😂😂 That’s way over the top since you’re only sitting in the front driving unless you’ve got a chauffeur 😉 Get rid of it & buy the little Suzuki Jimny that the Canadian family had😉 also unless you’re doing crazy miles in 1 day🤔
Obviously, something comfortable for yourself. Can you get Toyota Klugers there? Mid sized SUV🤔
Fantastic showing us both sides of the Dnipro! 👌 I’ll probably be on that side if it’s cheap!😉
Buying second hand cars always have underlying issues.
Not just that but the type of cars…Porsche has issues and expensive for repairs.
Right, cause you never know if the previous owner kept up with the maint unless they have records and took it to a shop that does good work.
@@dadefope80 I think the previous owner sold it due to issues that he didn’t disclose. I believe Johnny bought it for $15k with well over 100k miles on it.
Looked like good food for reasonable money.
And that's the problem with these Vehicle's. They're not meant to be reliable. Sure they can make an overall awesome ride while also being reliable. But where's the money in that? Different segments of cars are for different folks. Milking those with money to burn. That's why that couple who sold the Porche to you where happy to get ride of it.
Or just dont buy 15-20;years old car
AC systems are fully closed, so once you have the leak you have opened the system...once you have a leak you have to find that leak and repair as at the pressures an AC unit works at will not allow the AC to work for long with a simple recharge.... wish it was easier, but modern AC is a very binary issue, there is no limping along with a leak.
Maybe having a Porsche in the middle of a war and streaming UA-cam videos makes you look like a deusch
What does leaving comments like this make you look like? 😂
Johnny.....when will you change the cracked front windscreen ?????...and also to summer tires on it ???
I was working at car dealership in California. Any german car, after 5 years, means problems. Just get Toyota. Or get Fiat gts or Alpha Romeo better.
Have Land Rover Discovery sport similar to the white one and from 4 years no complain from my side. So i am happy owner, excellent car.
You might get robbed in california where your from but you won't get robbed where I'm from.
The East Side / Left Bank of Kyiv reminds me of the outer boroughs of New York City where I grew up, e.g. Queens (where I'm from), Brooklyn, the Bronx (Staten Island doesn't count, LOL). You have Manhattan, which is where all the wealthy people live and tourists visit, with all the great restaurants and attractions, and much safer, then you have the boroughs where the real New Yorkers live, the working class, those who have been in NYC for decades and their families for generations. Though the food is good in Manhattan, I actually prefer the food in Queens; it's more authentic, and the people are more grounded and not snobbish. Don't get me wrong, every time I go to NYC I hang out in Manhattan, LOL, but I believe there's a place for the boroughs, i.e. the Left Bank / East Side of Kyiv. As you state in your video: "It serves its purpose." Another great video, Johnny! And I actually enjoy watching videos of your car, LOL. It's almost as if your car has its own personality with its own trials and tribulations, LOL, and should have its own video channel, LOL! Enjoy, Johnny, and be safe!
Johnny--It's clear you are not a car guy--the Porsche was a terrible choice--sell it and buy a Toyota RAV4 or a 4Runner. Built like tanks, solid, low up keep, and can deal the extremes of your new home. Plus your bank account will stay healthy. You'll thank me for it.
At least the Porsche gives you good content 😂
Bro HD camera is nice, good job ..............We run the A/C all year round....winter summer does not matter we just adjust the Temperature .....Use it or loose it .....Bro when the evaporator fails that's big money $$$ Mechanic has to pull your dash out ......So it Goes
Now you know why they sold it to you in the first place lol
Legend..any luxury vehicle is high maintenance. Brand new or pre owned..it is what it is.
Except Lexus. My family has had 3 Lexus RX and GX over the last 30 years. Bulletproof unlike the Cayenne.
@@sonicmoj1 ..Yeah Lexus is an exception since Toyota bought the company. Very reliable no doubt about it
Johny when your channel will grow up to 300k subscribers!? And why not, just noticed your account growing slowly, may be you should change the format of broadcasting. Wish you luck to get 1M!
You got so used to us that you became a real Ukrainian, thank you for your support.
Yes got my Columbian at the outlets & its amazing Johnny! You will love this technology. Stay safe my friend & always optimistic!
I
It was worth a try bro! The seals will crack and leak with age, especially with the temperature extremes in Ukraine.
When you route the AC lines by the friggin tires, that's just asking for problems! You don't need age, just a stray rock.
Hate to burst your bubble, but many cheaper cars have 4 zone air these days, not just a Porsche !
In the U.S. they won't allow you to enter the service bay.
Used premium cars, always problematic, sometimes better buy a bit simple car, and enjoy driving, than spent money on service...
Ifor the longest time I thought you were about living cheaply and saving money… so why the heck would you buy a Porsche with huge maintenance costs??
Saving money helps to keep the good car.
@@ortolitore1522 everything you say is true apart from the good car part but that’s only my opinion haha.. if taking suvs, Id get more turned in by a Toyota rav 4 hybrid… looks better, cheap to run and maintain + holds good value
4 zone A/C, lol. Best of luck keeping it working.
Fingers crossed!
And that's the only leak?😮
Even my swift ‘10 had to have a second hand gearbox - my wife’s Nissan micra ‘10 has been good. Bought with a door dent so really cheap. Bin that Porsche and buy a car for £600. I saw a Ferrari today like that Porsche you saw and same Grey colour. CEO number plate. Vintage I guessed.
thanks for providing more proof as to why i' was right about these overly priced/engineered cars. also, Im confused when you talk about the looks of a car, the color or interior. i really only see quality materials and reliability. sure, the quality looks impressive and i appreciate it but in the end, its just a very expensive looking pile of delicate garbage that works when it wants and doesnt when you need it. unless, you are a mechanic and love the brand, someone with plenty of money for regular and expensive preventive maintenance/service, or a german proud of their country, its just a pain in the neck and makes most people who own them look like wannabes or yuppies.
Is this all you can think of for a vlog? And please no more picnicks with warm beer.
Why not? It is his channel. You are not obliged to watch.

Ever heard of constructive criticism?
Just went to Columbia site and there is no parkas for 71$. Maybe I should use US VPN?
I just checked. Mine is sold out, but there are 3 other styles of parkas still for $95. Sign up for their newsletter "Columbia Member" for another 25% off, making it $71.
Just get an old Lada.
I thought it was sitting weird, so thought the air suspension was busted. Nope, broken AC is common. Luxury cars are just a money pit
Cayenne, q7, Touareg are the same to
In Lithuania nobody is paid or mandated to have MATCHED balconies. People just try to be NORMAL, not like russians and do not make circus from their balconies. Also many of old buildings are renovated, goverment subsidises small portion of cost, but still it costs a lot.
Get a Toyota forerunner and cover it with Cavalar
Love the Cayenne content Johnny 👍
Honestly, most of the German cars I had always sprung an AC leak somewhere... Mazda's and Ford's were fine in the AC department.
Ha..old Ford Taurus.. always leaked AC area...BMW is junk now...too complicated..sadly Toyota most reliable
Johnny you saying all of the US is like California? Unsafe Cali that is? I've never been robbed, mugged, had my car broken into or know anyone that has. I have several degrees and have worked in the AI field for almost 20 years. Nor do I live in bad areas where what you allude is common. Just saying, please don't lump LA, San Fran and NYC with the rest of the country. Maybe next video just say "like Cali, or Like San Fran, or like London, UK" Otherwise, hope all is well, really and keep these videos coming. (my metro area is not that big, about 1.5 million, but not LA or Seattle with deep recent crime)
Only parts of London are crime centres. I love Central London.
@@carolwilliams8511 Exactly the point. "only parts"
Yeah he's full of BS trying to generalize that all places in America are crime infested, yeah where he's from San Fran Gaylifornia yeah that's a place where it's rampant and out of control, so stop spewing BS for clicks and views
I wish your Cayenne had the long EU looking license plate on the lift gate. It looks so much nicer imo
