For those of you that had the TC replaced or fluid changed, did you notice the jerking come back after an x amount of miles? My TC was replaced 2-3k miles ago and the jerking under maintenance throttle is back in 3rd and 4th gear.

I have a rough shift from 3rd to 4th gear on light/maintenance throttle, but very smooth at moderate or even full throttle. TC is okay, fluid changed...
Otherwise smooth as butter!

Hi!

My car is EXACTLY the same. Have changed the transfer case fluid but problem still there. Have you found a solution?

Default Same problem with Cayenne 2013 Turbo

I have noticed this identical problem. Jerky shifting from 2nd to 3rd and to 4th when in full auto mode, but when manually shifting with the paddles there is no jerk.

I am now in Middle East and competency of technicians is not great. I will book an appointment next week and will describe also what I meant on this forum.

if any conclusive experience or answer was found please let me know.

Regards

They replaced the transfer case but it didn't fix the issue so are thinking about it. I have read onine that the valve body might cause this. Hopefully I will find out soon about it. Might just keep the new transfer case as I am told it will likely go eventually.

This ring any bells with anyone. It was a CPO which just went out of warranty, of course, at 6 years in October. Now at 80k and I have been towing tracks cars first on an open and now an enclosed aluminium trailer

Top of my head 65000Km. I just drove yesterday and looked at the odometer, but today I am working elsewhere with no car. I will confirm later when I return.

I bought it with 39000Km back in Feb 2019. The low mileage is because it is a 2013 model but was not on the road until late 2015. Is one of those leftover cars from the dealer that didn’t get sold at the time. The first owner only drove in the city. I also only drive on the city with occasional road trip 80km long (it’s a small city Doha) but during pandemic didn’t drive at all and I now walk to work so really is little driving done.

This mileage is not likely to increase more than a couple hundred Km per month. And depends if I can fix it with software updates or oil change or valve body (as per this forum) then ill keep the car but I won’t pay for a new transfer case and would sell the car instead.

When I lived in Houston, USA, i has a 2008 Cayenne S, and had 160000 miles and I did not have any issue, only followed the scheduled maintenance. I sold it to a friend and still runs without issues. I am a bit disappointed with this particular problem as seems difficult to troubleshoot the exact cause. A friend of mine had to change the transfer case of his 2016 under warranty too so seems to be more common that it should.

Default Will change TC under warranty

76000km on the clock

Today the dealer test drive and confirmed the TC jerkiness. They will repair under a special warranty that I was not aware, 10yr for the TC and I am 6 months from that.

I’ll post the conclusions

I have just had my Valve body replaced with a brand new unit. It did not cure the 3-4 hard shift. It is doing the same as before...

TC was replaced and jerkiness went away.
I see in this thread that has come back after some time. I’ll monitor the mileage and report if it comes back.

Default Solved

It’s the throttle body. Adapt your throttle body with the throttle body adaptation procedure(key out, step gas all the way, key in, turn to ACC, wait 20second, slowly release gas, key off and out, wait 5 second, turn car back on). If that does not fix it, buy a used throttle body from ebay or a new one for 150$.
