Looking to convert my Cayenne in South Wales

#1 Post by gerlewis »

Hi all,

Im trying to read up on LPG, and am conisdering Profess Autogas in South Wales.
They are offering the Stag 300 Premium Kit,

I have a Porsche Cayenne 4.5v8

Does anyone have any words of wisdom, or experience of this engine? I dont know if it requires flash lube, or anything else I might have missed.

Thanks!
Ger

If you want a good install that is cared for and neatly done, don't use someone who will do it in a day. A good conversion will take at least 3 days, and don't be worried if they want it a bit longer.

Getting it installed and setup in a day is just asking for trouble...

Now do profess say they'll do it in a day?.... ;)

Tommo2009 is an installer on here based in Monmouth. And he has done a few. He gave me a couple of pointers on the one i converted a while back.

A quick question on my quest for more knowledge:

is there any real benefit to an electronic Valve Saver Kit over a vacuum kit on an N/Aspirated engine?
Or should I save £100 and get a vacuum kit?

Cheers!

vacuum kit's can often stop without you knowing, they also need what feels like constant adjusting as the weather changes.

For the sake of £100 i'd put an electronic one on for peace of mind and knowing the right dose is being done, i really don't think you want to be paying for a rebuild of upper engine (expensive) which is what your going to need if it goes wrong.

As a previous customer of Profess I personally would not use them again.
