Are there any outstanding recalls on the car?

Cold weather is a real leveller on these “would be” SUVs. I once bought a brand new X5 when they were first launched where the doors wouldn’t snap close when it was freezing as the plastic lock mechanism froze. I was back in a Range Rover within a week.

My oldest Porsche is a 2008 Cayenne S. V8 stripper spec. I have 275000 km on it and it is outside all the time - months in freezing conditions. -10 is frequent and -35 can show up now and then. It is a simple old thing. No air suspension,proper low gear,can tow a house, and I don’t care how many dents it has.
My Panamera ST Turbo has all of the electronics and has had several visits to the dealer to deal with them.
Sometimes simple is bestsmile

That sounds exactly the same as my issue, no outstanding recalls, car was serviced by my opc 10 days ago. Fuses all in tact etc. Rear is all the way up and the front is on the lowest setting it seems frown

Looks like it’s new compressor time frown
This happened to my V8 Cayenne S Diesel....rear was way up. Low loader and OPC fixed in a day or two. IT was sensor related from memory.

My A6 allroad suffered from this is in really cold weather. It lived in a heated garage at home and work (in Sweden), but when I took it up north, to Finland in the winter the front started sagging.

I had a similar occurrence on my 125,000 mile 2013 Cayenne Diesel last July. It was ABS Sensors playing up, replaced FOC under Porsche Extended Warranty, but not that expensive IIRC.
