Hi all-
i picked up my new to me Cayenne this past Thursday. I love it! I came from a BMW X5 xDrive50i, but was getting bored and wanted to come back to a Porsche. This one has all the options I was looking for, some of the main ticket items: PASM w/ Air, Entry and Drive, Crested Headrests, Premium Plus package. Below are so pics!

Thats the message displayed when the air suspension reaches maximum height. In one of your pics it looks as though the rear suspension is raised to max height, while the front is normal. Maybe a height sensor issue at that wheel.

That seems REALLY high - especially the rear. I can crawl under mine when it's fully raised - but I can't recall that much fender gap at the rear. I think you need a diagnostics tool to suss out what's up with it, or find someone with a Porsche specific tool.

Agree...in that last pic, that height is NOT normal. In fact I don’t think mine went that high even in the extreme off road ride height setting. And in any case, the vehicle should at least be level all the way around. This looks like an old Camaro running Highjacker air shocks in the rear.

Definitely get it checked out.

Also looking at your window sticker, wow, the Premium Package Plus is really expensive on the S model!

Nice. So clean!

Yellow calipers and no PCCB listed?

Check that the rear tire gap is equal on both sides. Could it have been an unlevel ground situation that canted the body to the right? Doesn't look uneven but maybe a dip in the gravel?

Very nice build.

Even has ACC.

I looked at S's for over a year and bought a CTT as I wanted this option and couldn't find it in the color I wanted.

Enjoy!

Hey! Thanks for the reply. Yeah the PO had them powdercoated yellow, wish I had PCCB, but this one checked all of my other boxes, so I’ll have to live without it until the next one haha

Thanks for the reply! I looked for months for this build, ACC was a must as I drive to school and work in traffic everyday and I love how it stops you all the way!
