how to check for air leaks in the intake on my Porsche Cayenne E3 (2018-Present)?

• •Check engine light illuminated
• •Rough idle or stalling
• •Increased fuel consumption
• •Whistling or hissing noise from the engine bay
• •Poor acceleration response
• •Unusual engine vibrations

1. 1Examine all visible hoses, clamps, and connections for signs of wear, cracking, or disconnection.
2. 2Use a smoke machine to introduce smoke into the intake system and observe for any smoke escaping from potential leaks.
3. 3Block off the intake and use a pressure gauge to check for pressure loss, indicating leaks.
4. 4With the engine running, spray a mixture of soapy water around suspected leak areas and watch for bubbling indicating escaping air.
5. 5While the engine is running, listen closely for any hissing or whistling sounds that may indicate air leaks.
6. 6Use an OBD-II scanner to check for codes related to air intake issues, such as 'P0171' (System Too Lean).
