Cayenne AdBlue Consumption Query - Excessive?

[nswallace]

Hi All,

I'm new to posting on this forum but just thought I'd share this to get people's views and feedback. I own a 65 plate Cayenne V6 Diesel that I've had for approx 17 months from new since Sep 15, having covered nearly 20k miles. Since then I have had the AdBlue warning light come on 4 times (approx every 5k miles) and each time I have put in 10 litres of AdBlue. This feels like excessive consumption to me? Has anyone else experienced this kind of use? Mileage is mainly around town with the occasional long trip every couple of months.

I attended a Porsche Driving Day at Silverstone the other week and all the instructors I spoke with hadn't heard of usage like it and stated that they never need to put any AdBlue in their Cayenne's which they run for 10k miles

Any views/thoughts welcome?

Thanks
Nick

Thanks for all the responses, all really helpful

Shame that such a supposedly premium brand is cutting costs on AdBlue at the factory - i feel this is definitely the case with mine too as needed refilling way earlier than a full tank would suggest. You wouldn't mind but when purchasing a Porsche you continually get the line of "you're not buying an ordinary car here Sir, you're buying a Porsche!"

Incidently they also seemed to not bother with the air conditioning gas on mine too, needed to go in not long after delivery - no leaks found and only plausible explanation from garage was that it hadn't been done at the factory!!
