2015 Cayenne Turbo running costs

[Babw]

Could someone enlighten me with running costs of a 2015 Cayenne Turbo. The one I'm looking at has PDCC, torque vectoring, PCCB and 21" wheels. It has 20k miles on it at present.

How often do these need servicing and what kind of bills can I expect?

Many thanks.

Anybody?

As with most Porsches, I would expect 2 year/20k mile service intervals. If you're buying from an OPC, you'll need to get it serviced by a main dealer to maintain the warranty, and they will have a menu of prices for servicing and usual consumables (brake fluid change, air con, etc, etc), so best to chat to them. Fuel wise, I'd be expecting something in the mid-teens MPG, a little more on a run and a little less if around town or going for a Sunday morning blat

I've got a 2014 Panamera Turbo S (can't be too far off the mark), which I've been running for 6k miles over the last 10 months.

Service prices are fixed : https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/p...

Despite that, a few extra items are bound to be uncovered when the car goes in and I think the last service I had on my Panamera GTS was around £1k all in.

Tyres on 20" wheels are around £1,200 for a set.

Fuel - I get 20-24mpg on open roads in mine and low to mid teens around town.

Brakes - if nothing goes wrong, you'll only have to do the pads periodically. But, I understand a new set of discs and pads with PCCBs on a Panamera are around £12k fitted. Hopefully I'm misinformed but I wouldn't be surprised.

This is the major thing to worry about before buying that car....condition of the PCCB's. It's normally track work that can cause issues but also stones getting stuck between caliper and disc would do some very expensive damage so you should check them carefully.

This has always been my major fear with these brakes, particularly after having had scored discs caused by gravel in the past - at least with steel discs, the situation can be slightly less critical in terms of cost and performance.

I bought mine through an OPC who claimed they hadn't ever replaced PCCB brakes other than when cars had been tracked or had slid into a gravel trap sideways. My car had 43k miles when I bought it and the OPC had not gone through the removing / baking / weighing routine to check wear so I took a chance based on a visual inspection and plenty of research. I've not verified the £12k replacement cost either but would be surprised if it's more than that.

Good to hear that they're mostly reliable beasts.

I'm not buying from an OPC and it's out of warranty. Would be it be worth renewing? I plan to keep it in the long term as I quite like the analogue layout of the buttons and the lack of hybrid technology.

PCCB's are like new with no damage and something will be seriously gone wrong if I end up in a gravel trap with this car.

I found out that the car had a transfer case replacement under warranty. It only has 16k miles....

Dealer says this is a well known issue and Dr Google tells me it's a common problem. Anyone know whether the transfer case has been redesigned?

[Mosdef]

I can't help on the transfer case but I would definitely renew the warranty. I had several large claims on my previous Panamera GTS and my current car is with Porsche to have a power steering fluid leak investigated and the sports exhaust fixed (it was stuck in the 'off' position). I can't remember what the annual warranty cost is but these are expensive cars to fix.

[Mosdef]

I picked my car up from Chiswick yesterday and the extremely helpful service advisor looked up the cost of replacement discs and pads for PCCBs on my Panamera - not quite as bad as I had feared, at £9.2k. I didn't bother looking up rears but suspect they must be another £6k or so.

PCCB can be reconditioned for around 1200quid per pair by top german Company SICOM so why pay crazy porsche prices
imagine the Mark up its absolutely crazy

Very useful to know, thank for the tip.

Surface Transforms can and do supply a direct replacement for the Porsche PCCB discs on the 996 GT2:
• Front: 350mm OD x 34mm thick @ £1,450.00 each ( http://www.surfacetransforms.com/catalogue_item.ph...
• Rear: 350mm OD x 28mm thick @ £1,350 each (http://www.surfacetransforms.com/catalogue_item.php?catID=9854&prodID=78790)

Surface design based in UK I went with SICOM you can google
Approx. 850 euros per disc with present exchange rate is 650 a disc total\\

These are Top Quality refurbs by a Company that refurbs for Racing Teams one of which is Ferrari just had mine fitted and Alcons now spares so Ill Post photos once done plenty of posts on here regards SICOM but Surface Transforms also make Porsche prices crazy remember Porsche probably have a 3rd party manfr these parts and putting a porsche stamp on and screwing the World

Thanks Catsey, very useful info.

How long did it take for SICOM to sort out the discs and was postage easy enough? I'd be concerned about chipping/damaging and general packaging but maybe there's a practical answer.

It's reassuring to know there's an alternative to handing over £9.2k to Porsche!!
