Practical Problems with the Cayenne GTS | 2 Months In! 

Thank you :) haven’t driven an Durango RT but I would definitely recommend checking one of these and try getting it on some curvy roads!

Hey, yeah I took it in last week! Had a tech drive it, all is good. Fingers crossed it fails during the warranty period 😂

Yes! I heard this was an issue, will have to clean the runoff drains frequently and I’ll keep an eye on it! But it’s a terrific car, absolute pleasure to drive

Mine does that too needs to be fixed how much was fix ? Mildew smell from it !!

There’s an extended warranty. If you take the VIN to Porsche they should be able to tell you the warranty period left!

Haha I’m happy it’s not just me finding these small inconvenience extremely annoying! But yes, the car itself is fantastic!

Agreed, that’s what I do haha. Just wish there was a transmission setting that balanced that out a little better in auto, since the transmission isn’t as sharp as the Macan’s PDK unit

Yep, I think they added that in 2014! Wish I had it haha

I’ll check it out. Would have been nice if there was a wheel option that was sporty but functional - unfortunately that wasn’t an option.

It is haha I released this video a few weeks before it was announced! Great to hear that Porsche has covered it!

Oh boy, that's honestly one of the costliest repairs I've heard for this platform! Where are you, in the United States? Are you the first owner?

@@airmadness98 US, 2nd owner. Only the dealership can do the reprogramming.

Yes! They released that a few days after I released this video. Looks like Porsche listened 😂 2011 - 2014 cayenne get 10 year warranty on TC from date of manufacturing I believe - might be date of registration. But you should be good if you have a 2012 or above!

Ja imam Cayennu 2012 model.. i nemam NIKAKVU garanciju na prenosni dio sa motora na osovine... :-( .. cak sam i zvao service da pitam.. Srecom nemam nikakvih problema u vezi toga ,a problema IMA... Auto je kvalitete zvljblja... jer je pravoljeno po citavim dijelovima evrope... tako da.. moja lista je duga... sa stvarima koje su lose dizajnirane, jeftino napravljene..,a mogle su se jako lako izbjeci.... Najveci problem mi je sada... jako lose napravljen Zracni ovjes auta... amortizeri.... tu su inzinjeri napravili tako glupe greske da .. hmm.. Porsche bi trebao i to modificirati ... ili gubi status kvalitetne marke u mojim ocima... Problem nije samo na porscheu... vec i na drugim autima koji saradjuju sa njima... tako da... sistem je samo izkopiran... Auto mi je propalo sa prednjim amortizerima skroz... ,a zadnji dio se digao na najvisi nivi.. :-) .... Nisam imao vremena ni da vidim koji je problem.. od mnogobrojnih mene zetrefio...

So they've extended the warranty for the transfer case? I bought 2015 Cayenne S last November when it was just out of warranty, 53,000 MI and on acceleration from a stop had a slight bumpy feeling like you're driving on a gravel road, changed the transfer case fluid to Ravenol and it was like night and day better. TC Annapolis, MD

(Imo) I do believe there is too much technology out there for gas mileage to be so poor on basic street legal vehicles. Before you fashion a car to drive itself..maybe it should be more fuel efficient. To me it should be illegal...I know that's a stretch, but where else have we been programmed to take such a loss on something so basic?? It has a principle about it too...just like a pretty chick..yeah you look good and you can cook too..but dont screw me at the pump! And on a super corny side, it's almost not even safe...can you literally make it from point A to B without pulling over like grandma that has to tinkle every 10 miles?

Im looking at a 2013 cayenne gts it has 148k miles for 24k should it be a good bet?

Thank you! Tried smthn new w my life w RU-vid haha. I actually sold the car two months ago - was solid until I did. Regular maintenance and a few preventative things but highly reliable as a daily. Took mine from 70k to 130k miles in 3 years! Depreciation in 3 years was also very reasonable :)

@@airmadness98 Looking at a 2014 V8 GTS to buy right now for my fiance as we are family planning for a +1. The spec I’m looking at is 70k miles, 1 owner, transfer case service already performed + new chain and clutch pack. I have been on the fence between this and a 957 GTS (like the overland capabilities), but am now leaning towards this one because it’s a bit more modernized. Don’t think you could beat a NA V8. Great review.

Hey man, not sure to be honest. Could be a fuel pump or a few other things. Did you get a check engine light? There’s a group on Facebook for Cayenne owners, if you join and post in there, people may have a list of possibilities.

bruno condello Thanks! Yes the transfer case fluid can be flushed which would increase the life but people say this may or may not actually work. Porsche has actually released an updated transfer case. Most people let it fail and then get the replacement so they don’t have to keep worrying about it. I feel like mine has some hints of having the problem, but not too sure. A week after I posted this though Porsche actually gave all 2011-2014 Cayennes a 10 year warranty on the TCs! So now it’s covered until 2023 - I’ll be including that in the next update video!

The Indian GT so I’m thinking of buying 2014 cayenne gts with 70k miles, it’s at the action slightly damaged. No worries here, but let’s say I notice issues with TC, I could contact Porsche dealer, and tc should be under warranty?

Igis Vlogs yep! Just spoke to min. Call them anyway and they’ll ask for the vin. Give it to them and they’ll let you know

AJ will do man! It’s been a great car, and I will definitely do a flush. Did you do it yourself, or take it to a shop?

@@airmadness98 I had it at the dealership, they charged me around 100$

AJ not bad at all

How have the reliablity help up on it? I'm considering a 14' Cayenne GTS or a '16 Cayenne S and was wondering how they are holding up.

rice life pretty good 6 months in. Transfer case warranty has been extended by Porsche to 10 years for model year 2011 to 2014. So you should be good for that. Other than that, there are some common issues but I haven’t faced anything. My coolant level sensor may be failing but it just throws a warning on cold days that goes away if I restart the car. Not a big deal at all! I would get the GTS!

Joe M I had no idea those existed lol gonna order one rn. Literally spilled lemonade on myself two days ago 🤦🏻‍♂️

It actually came with vehicle. It extends cup about 1.5 inches higher and you are still able slide centre console forward with clearance.

Try eBay. Which country are you from? Search Porsche catalog for replacement part number, then Google or search on amazon/eBay

Celio Silva I heard they can take it, but they increased the reliability by 2013. I would make sure there is service history for your car. Good news though is that Porsche increases transfer case warranty to 10 years on 2011-2014 cars, so you can get that changed for free from Porsche till 2021!

@@airmadness98 is this warranty valid worldwide?

They do last. I’m almost 200k n runs strong. Porsche dealer said one had 300k plus

Hey! Tires play a huge roll in how a car handles in snow - I have the Scorpion Zero all seasons on it and they’re great. No slip with all the safety systems on, and goes sideways pretty easily in snow with the TC off. Doesn’t slide around on braking and the 4WD is very well refined.

I know some guys that are changing it every 10k miles just to be safe haha

Alexander Real will be soon!

Haha yes they are. I’m glad there are no mechanical problems yet!

I think the left/right buttons next to the volume knob seems tracks when connected to my iPhone! Not sure if it works with all devices tho!

@@airmadness98 yes but not on the steering wheel. Have to take your hands off the wheel to skip tracks. Even the basic cars has this... but nope... not porsche :))

I was talking about the Turbos in my M6 lol, the different driving modes in the M cars have different power progressions haha

No turbo on that model gts😎

There is no turbo in this model gts

Definitely not as fun haha

😂😂

7 mpg in sport mode. Otherwise 20 something mpg. His complaint was about sport mode rpm thresholds
