Its not a design issue. The issue is running clearance related and is catalyzed by environmental variables.
Our work has been applied to all generations of Cayenne engine from start to finish. The Panamera is also suffering the same issues, with the manufacturer altering oil consumption tolerances to fit the consumption thats occurring.

The Cayenne engine is by far MY FAVORITE Porsche offering, it needs the least amount of component development of any other modern Porsche engine.
That said, other than cylinder issues, the only thing we see are worn valve guides and loose intake camshaft vane cell adjusters…
If you are an unlucky one with a cylinder failure, thats just bad luck. Don't play the lottery.

LOL Jake, real funny. I DO have bad luck and it didn't surprise me that I was 1/1000 that had a cylinder fail.
a class action would protect us consumers after our warranties have expired. Now, Porsche can just throw their hands up and shrug prior to offering us a $30,000 rebuild.... which is laughable.
I had mine rebuilt last winter. It was -5°F last night with the windchill. The last thing I want to do is worry about a ticking time bomb under my hood because I live in a northern climate. I'm off to buy a dipstick warmer I saw at Tractor Supply tomorrow

Jake,
How about 2011+ CS/TT ?
They changed engine size from 4.5 to 4.8
They added Oil Squirters in the S ?
I would imagine Porsche would finally fix this by now ?
Anyways if my MY11 S will get scored ... I will put the Cayenne V6 engine in it .... I think beside engine and computer, differential everything should bolt on ...

Someone needs to figure out how to retrofit the little gas aux heaters (park heater as the manual calls it) that the euro cars get. HVAC control, the webasto heater, some fuel lines, some coolant lines, and a harness. I've been looking at the parts diagrams and there isn't much to it. A warm interior and warm engine block without plugging in the car would be amazing. The tdi tregs have them, and I feel like I remember that the 03 years offered the park heater as an option, but the EPA or something wouldn't federalize them because the fuel system wasn't closed. So they shipped them back and removed the option. Maybe some of the OG cayenne owners remember that.

I'm considering a diesel Macan as my next car, though I'm not in a hurry.

I agree, but most of those are not the latest generation that I was asked about.
