So VW is ripping them off too?

 

I can't speak for Bentley owners, as I am a Porsche owner. You might want to visit your local Bentley dealer and conduct a survey of clients who walk into the showroom.

The true secret has been let out of the box - that Lamborghini engines are being used in Audis, Porsches and Bentleys!

 

Regardless, I drove a base Cayenne and a Cayenne S is 2021 and decided both V6 engines didn’t meet my need. One due to turbo lag and the other due to lack of smoothness at idle. The OP finds the same thing with his V6 and is hoping the solution is in a $20 bottle of an additive.

 

The good news is that you have found a solution in a poor man’s Lamborghini! A Cayenne V8.

 

Not exactly if you read my initial post.

The objective was to see if it could get any better. And it did.

Nothing will resolve the relative issues tied to the basic design flaws of this engine.

 

That is what I said.

 

Better that, than a Porsche with a VW engine. Maybe the Lamborghini driver feels ripped off with a Porsche designed engine.

 

There is a solution that significantly reduces throttle lag in V6 models.
It is PedalBox DTE, SprintBooster or Pedal Commander.
I have tested it many times in my previous cars and I think it was one of the best spent 250 Euro.

Porsche didn’t design the engine.

Audi didn’t, neither did Audi nor Lamborghini nor Bentley.

Volkswagen AG designed the engine. All else is marketing.

 

Not quite. Yes, VW designed the base of the V6 and V8 engines. The engines in these cars are similar but not identical. Just like the Touareg, Cayenne, Q7/Q8, Urus and Bentayga are different although they are built on the same chassis.

 

Yes - I've seen that and have also heard that it's effective. I thought about getting one for our Audi SQ5.

My Cayenne strangely enough does not have similar pronounced throttle lag (even though I think the engine is very similar - 3L single turbo V6 - VAG sourced.)

Throttle response using Ceratec is better in the Cayenne. More linear.

 

I wonder if the OP has considered this to solve his V6 engine issues:

I'll bet this stuff would fix his V6! LOL
Who would believe that any of this crap you pour in your engine will fix or change anything?

 

 

 

This one should added to the controlled Design of Experiments.
