New Porsche Cayenne Diesel
Discussion
5 years and 69k miles of pleasure here too. Only thing that needed replacing was the locking fuel flap release motor that was intermittently not letting me pop the flap open. £19.97 from the local Audi dealership and did it myself. Job jobbed.
Haven't seen any actual exterior styling leaks yet, just a few interior Panamera type shots.
Word on the block is June next year. I wonder if they are having engineering difficulties with real world emmisions from the diesels. It normally doesn't take this long for Porsche to knock models out.
Would be interested in a new diesel if it's not too long for my garage, and if they don't make it drive like a Macan.

While I'm updating the thread, some distracted girl pulled out in front of me a few weeks ago.... No airbags, but made a mess of the A pillar of her A1. Couldn't get her driver's door open. Damaged the Cayenne's front PU and pushed the OSF wing up slightly, they've accepted liability. Just comparing part numbers of the Turbo/GTS PU and diesel one.. They're the same price. I'll see if I can get a better looking front end....
Here's a frame from the dashcam, just after the moneyshot;
Blimey - which dash cam are you using - I'm doing a lot more miles now and thinking of getting one.Here's a frame from the dashcam, just after the moneyshot;

I've just been measuring the length of it by marking a piece of paper and using the wheel diameter on the side shots as a constant between the old and new models.
I reckon this is going to be a good 7 or 8 cm longer.

One thing is for sure unless that's a very clever disguise....there's not going to be a 7 seat version which I think some have speculated because of the Q7 platform sharing. I reckon this is going to be a good 7 or 8 cm longer.

Yes back door looks longer, more leg room, also looks a bit wider too, as well as lower, window looks smaller

New Cayenne will be revealed on the 29th Aug according to Porsche.
And our old friend the Cayenne Diesel has been removed from the configurator! A sad day.
The S Diesel remains for now.
Heard the same, might nip over to Frankfurt, not been to a motorshow for many years, apart from GoodwoodAnd our old friend the Cayenne Diesel has been removed from the configurator! A sad day.

Changed the autobox fluid and filter in mine earlier in the year. Should have done it a few tens of thousands of miles ago....
The dirty pan when I removed it..
The state of the fluid ...
untouched and cleaned pan magnets...
Cleaned up ready to go back on...
The inside of the mechatronic and stuff...

Hi CatF. What's porsches attitude towards the diy servicing in respect warranty. They are pretty anal about this stuff. Great to see someone tinkering.
My OPC are quite helpful with parts, even giving me a 10% discount. They know I've done pads, fluid changes and air filters after they forgot on the major service. I also change the oil at every 10000 miles after a service, 10K miles before the next one, have fitted lowering links and fitted Eibach anti roll bars.About six months ago the stepper in the transfer box failed, and I had a new transfer box under warranty with no issues. The battery started dying just out of warranty, I bought a new battery from them, fitted it myself, and they recoded the car FOC on the next visit.
The fluids, synthetic auto fluid and synthetic EP for the diffs all have VAG part numbers, so I get them even cheaper at TPS.
My local OPC is the one nearest the New Forest, (no naming and shaming etc) and were next to useless a few years ago with a DP who was an arseclown of the highest magnitude. He left and the new one has turned it around over the last few years, and I remain very happy with them. A spell of Golf Rs as loan cars has left a lingering smile too.
These is too much cash or credit local to me however and they won't discount the cars. I bought this Cayenne new from an OPC 150 miles away and got a small discount.

Superb, question as I have just put a deposit down on new Cayenne, how have your carbons been, any problems, gremlins etc ?, would you get them again ?
Thanks

They've been faultless. I would always get them on a daily driver long termer, for general benefits apart from the performance. There's no brake dust to clean off, and I think they're about cost neutral now, as all the steelies have been replaced once or twice by 90k miles.Thanks

The Cayenne is a fatty, and if you do press on along A roads and the like, the brakes get very hot. No sign of fade at all, no issues. I did buy a pair of the long guide rods that the 997 boys use to be fitted when changing wheels so you can't chip the discs, and I always point out the ceramics at the tyre bay. I clearly don''t get 295/21s from Kwik Fit however, so they do always seem to take care.
