Thanks much appreciated

Roughly what's the cost of a suitably specced new Cayenne these days ? I had a new Panamera loaner 4.0 diesel the other week. Great car, PDK is mega on such a big car, but will not be offered on the Cayenne it seems... Mega but £115K ! That's bonkers money.... Still, just accepted the invite to the Panamera estate launch in a couple of weeks.Saj

Had my S Diesel in Sheffield OPC today after noticing the 'misfire'. New transfer box on it's way. 12 hour job apparently. Warranty to the rescue!

So, long time now, no posting in this thread. I've been enjoying my 2013 Diesel S, that has continued to be a joy. Until a couple of weeks ago. I started to get what felt like a misfire under load. Previous to this the V8 was super silky smooth and torquey. Misfire on a diesel ?!?! Yep, only under load, and only when warm. Gentle acceleration from about 20MPH in 3rd, or WOT from about 60MPH, felt just like a dodgy plug lead on a petrol. No black smoke, no warning lights. A chum got in the car and said it felt as if there was a tooth missing on the diff or planetary gears, not the motor.
Gradually got worse, booked into OPC. When out for test drive with the technician, he said 'it's the transfer box'. Not uncommon, needs new box. Apparently there's an electronic clutch that distributes the power between front and rear, that begins to slip, causes ECU confusion, and it feels like a misfire. Not sure that the full explanation, as there's no where the torque can escape to surely, as I understand it's a regular diff in the middle with planetary gears but additional electronic LSD type action. Said they've done several diesel V6s, no V8s yet. Sometimes after just 20K miles (mines just at 60K). There's now a modified transfer box. They don't fix it, just swap the box out for new.
They did lend me quite a funky Golf GTD DSG, that handles like a taut go kart. Great thing to tool around in for a couple of days...

Has anyone experienced 'heavy' steering on their Cayenne? The steering on the courtesy car felt much lighter than mine. Mine has PSP so I'd have expected it to have been the other way round.
PS: They were both on the same wheels & tyres
The test drive Diesel s had if anything slightly too light steering and would have preferred it a tad heavier. That bad PSPPS: They were both on the same wheels & tyres

Does this issue feel like a kickback coming through chassis whist accelerating slowly at low speed, especially uphill, I have low mileage Diesel S which has developed this recently...it's almost like there's a tooth missing off a cog in the gearbox!catfood12 said:

If you are out of warranty - change your transfer case oil......Many, many owners reporting problem solved on this subject in the USA

It's a relatively easy DIY job. Just read through that thread and all will become clear.
You can go down to your local OPC, pay through the nose for a Porsche sticker for some OEM fluid (TF 0870) or go on Amazon, get somebody to bring what is probably exactly the same stuff (and highly recommended on other forums) to your front door for less - Ravenol TF-0870 (made in Germany).

The V6d and Hybrid Cayennes are not affected by this issue as they have a different type of TC.

Thinking about a new Cayenne when I come to trade my RR in the new year. I'm not sure if I can stomach another three years of JLR dealers and service departments!
Is the Cayenne reliable and are the dealers generally good at servicing and fixing problems?

Fair play.Is the Cayenne reliable and are the dealers generally good at servicing and fixing problems?
F
Yes and yes.
Any further questions....?
My rear seats still rattle despite taking it back to the dealership twice. The transfer box just needed replacing and the steering doesn't feel right. Also, the cabin gets colder when I slow down. Not what I expected for the money. I've experienced better build quality on much cheaper cars I've owned.

Re the cabin getting colder when slowing down Try turning the top middle dash vents off? You can do it via the circular digital dash display. I noticed this and that made all the difference. Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
