2nd Gen Cayenne - Known Issues and Maintenance Schedule

[jonamv8]

Hi all,

Not been on here for a while but over the years had a couple of 911s including an x50 Turbo that was good fun! Currently running something more sensible for work reasons but the mrs needs a new car after selling her Fiat 500 and a loaner Kia is going back soon, and I'm thinking a Cayenne as we have two dogs now and I love the Porsche brand.

Has to be a 2nd gen for the looks inside and out. 2011 - 2013 for budgetary reasons. 3.0 Diesel for economy and insurance reasons.

Originally wanted one at 60-70k Miles but ones come up with a great spec with just over 100k on it. Have the head gaskets normally been done at 100k? I'm aware that an Oil leak can show on these but is there anything else that I should be looking for?

Any advice appreciated ladies and gents.

Thanks - JON
