Cayenne has issue with running out of gas.

Thanks for this. My 2014 Cayenne S has run down to red a few times now though and seems to be accurate.

 

Yeah, I take mine down, never a problem...... wonder when I'll get the notice.

 

Built before May 27, 2013?

 

Well, only 207 Cayenne total. Mine is very very accurate - to the point where I've actually pumped something like 25.8 gallons into a 26.2 gallon tank. Maybe the assembly line those 207 units ran through was inadvertently provided with a crate of Chinese counterfeits

Assuming the pump wasn't lying my last fill was 26.266 gallons

That was bad planning on my part, but I can tell you when the estimate drops below 10 miles and turns to dashes you really start to pucker...

So I'm gonna go with mine being accurate (mine was built outside of the date range anyway)

 

Yes, I believe so. I'll double check.

 

What I do with every new car is to get it as close to zero as possible, drive to a gas station and then drive around the block as many times as I dare so I can then measure the accuracy.

I find the countdown to 10 and then turning to dashes a little annoying. What's the deal? Telling me I have 12, then 11, then 10 is supposed to impress me with the accuracy, but then the guessing game is on after that?

 

Am I the only one here who fills up when the gas tank is half empty?
The main reason I do so is because I am afraid of running out of diesel in case of an emergency (fire, earthquake, flood). Huh, maybe I have been watching too many of those "California get ready in case of emergency" commercials.

 

^^^ The wife usually fills her diesel with about 1/4 left - I guess we're a little more daring... :P haha

 

This is healthy, though I think you are taking it to the extreme both in the reasons and level of caution.

My understanding from reading TSI/PIWIS is that running the CD (I expect this applies to the CTT too as I think it's a turbo related thing) out to the point that the engine cuts out is very bad for the HPFP and it requires a PIWIS (usually only to be found at a dealer) to bleed the high pressure side of the system. It's not simply throwing in a gallon or two and driving it to the next station.

I personally wait until the light comes on and as I said above my last fill was due to bad planning based on misunderstanding how far I was from where I planned to fill up and then being in a "dead" area when it was apparent that making it was becoming very questionable.

 

Our CV6 was built during the listed recall dates but dealer has no recall information as of today...

 

I must be missing all the fun. I never let any of my cars go below half full.

 

With a TTS that must mean you are at the gas station every day

 

The ridiculous part is that my 2014 Cayenne Diesel isn't included here..,,,yet had the issue.
