Thanks for all the information on off-road mode. I will let you know about the motor actuator as soon as I have a better idea about controlling it. I'm hoping I will not need to hard mount a winch. I am worried about approach and departure angles and I will probably end up with an intercooler...

Here, every second owner thought they had a rear locker, I asked them to send me a picture of the build/options code sticker so I knew if they did or didn't. In 18 months of looking, not a single one. If you find one it is much more than just a locking diff, well worth finding one if you can...

The Cayenne / Touareg have a lot of cross over, gear ratios, flange sizes, spline and the code numbers are the same, I would be surprised if Audi went to the trouble to reinvent the diffs but I don't know. So I'd say you will be ok. Do you know what ratio you have ? Best case I will have a pot...

I tried to find out more about the Dakar drive train/front diff. Not much information around. Not surprised but disappointing that all that work and testing is just lost.

The diesels are pretty popular for off-road and those that have them are pretty happy with them (there is good info in this thread) you could consider those too. I'm a bit of a rev head (a lot really) so I like the performance but complexity comes with it. e.g. I blew a PDCC hose this week...

I believe you can retrofit the locking rear differential into a non locking car. I have done a fair amount of work on this with a great guy from Europe who found the parts from a Cayenne wreck there and has, very kindly, done all the hard work for me. The front and rear diffs are in transit now...

When I was researching which model car to buy, this was my thoughts based on what I wanted from the car, you may have different criteria. I want the most off road capable options. Some are a bit grey and open to personal opinions. The only cars with low range were the 955 and the 957 To get...

They all have the rear lock led position regardless if it has the rear lock. It is very rare, not sure why but it is. You can check by starting the car, put it in neutral and push the off-road selector forwards one step at a time, three times. If you have it it will have 3 lights up. Or check...

A good read, thanks. The events you do, are they tours through beautiful/interesting country with competitive sections along the way. It was said that the speed limits are enforced but in one image you have a helmet on. We don't have them here, it's more one or the other not both. Some clubs...

I'll have a read through tonight. A quick question on air bags and Bull Bars. If I replace the under Panel at the front with some fabricated metal protective bar work will that effect the airbags ?

I hope to run the car up on ramps this weekend and take the factory covers off and see what's involved. Unfortunately I can't read the article, there must be some breach of rights to view it in Australia :-(

I bought a Cayenne 957 Turbo with PDCC yesterday to modify for off road. So far I've only driven it on road, quite an amazing car. I have enjoyed reading all of these threads while I've been looking for one with a locking rear differential, there aren't any here (Australia) as far as I can...

I've never driven in snow so had not thought of that, thanks, you never know, maybe one day that will come in handy. I live on an all sand island with no sealed roads, you only have to have more clearance than the lowest car that has been through before you. Sand is all about the tallest tyre...
