Cayenne Transfer Case

[Wilmslowboy]

I'm exploring getting a post-2015 Cayenne (perhaps even a turbo )

Reading around it seems quite a few have had one, if not two transfer box issues, requiring replacement.

If I was to buy a car without a warranty (I like to live dangerously), and it ended up requiring a transfer box replacement, what is the likely cost?

The Porsche warranty is under £1,000 per year and the chocolate transfer box melts on a regular basis and probably costs about the same...

Thanks,

Looks like it makes sense to pop it on warranty as soon I buy one, however, I can imagine the pre warranty check will explicitly look for a transfer box issue.

The symptoms are jerkiness when pulling away and strange noises from underneath, so quite obvious if it's present.

Thanks, you sound like a man who speaks from experience.

Hi Wilmslowboy, I think you have to own the car for 3 months before you can add a Porsche warranty onto it,may be wrong.

I would speak to your OPC to confirm, or find one private with one already on it, if you buy one from a trader, the warranty is void automatically.

Hi,

Current Cayenne OPC warranty pricing is:

1yr: £216 - 111 point check, £1020 - 1yr warranty, £185 - 1yr Porsche Assist
or
2yr: £216 - 111 point check, £1770 - 2yrs warranty, £285 - 2yrs Porsche Assist

You can only get it 3 months after the date of ownership started on your V5.

Prices are for my 2016 Cayenne 3.0V6 Diesel.

Hope that helps.
