Any VW tech can work on your Cayenne since it's a VW motor. That would actually be my preference since the VR6 motor is well known in the VW world, but not so much in the Porsche/Audi world.

The potential savings from not paying the "Porsche tax" wouldn't hurt either......

And they're usually more knowledgable about the chassis since the Touareg is far more common than a Cayenne.

I thought the same thing about going to a VW Indy and back home in Il I had a local VW shop that would work on my A8 no problem,but they would not touch my CTT.

I spoke with Zims they sound like a great reasonable group,I'm going to give them a shot

Thanks Again Gents

Nevermind. For some reason I had it in my head that you had a 3.2. With a CTT - you need a Porsche tech.

Wayne at Zims is great. I ruined them on 928s years ago. After chasing issues in my '81, they have banned 928s from their shop.

Luckily, Sean is not too far away and he is great with those cars. His number is 940-453-9526
