ScottyP Posted 15June, 2019 Report Share Posted 15June, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I'm being seriously tempted by a stunning 92A Cayenne S. I've done quite a bit of reading about issues such as coolant pipes (not sure if an issue on 92A?) and cardan shafts. Of greater concern are some reported bore scoring issues on non-turbo petrol cars. I'm not sure if this was restricted to 9PA or included 92A as well. Does anyone know as specific detail seems hard to come by? Hopefully the liners were sorted out for 92A cars. I'll likely be booking in a PPI this week. EDIT: some further reading suggests the 958 (which is what I'm looking at) was not impacted by bore issues. However, the two main issues appear to be broken vario-cam bolts and transfer case failures. Anyone have any experience with these. And were they subject to a recall in AU? I think there were recalls on these two issues in the US. Cheers, Scott Edited 15June, 2019 by ScottyP update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 17June, 2019 Report Share Posted 17June, 2019 It is my understanding that most those issues were ironed out by the facelift 9PA.. as for the other issue, I'd have a search on the Cayenne section on Rennlist forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas from Brickworks Posted 25July, 2019 Report Share Posted 25July, 2019 All these issues are related to the first gen 955 Cayenne (Pre facelift, 4.5l V8) only. The later models (957 onwards), as long as serviced correctly, are much more reliable. Happy buying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
