Transfer Case....Again?

There are three owners here with mid-level mileage on their Macans. So far mine has been trouble-free. It's an '18 Turbo. I've read some early history on the Cayennes. They found that the TC's were failing at a high rate. They at some point mandated the TC fluid be changed every 30K. Whether fact or fiction, Come another 4K at 30,000 miles, I'll be doing my own plugs. But I will take it to a dealership to have the fluid changed as preventative maintenance. If it works, great. If not, I've wasted coin on the fluid changes.
The Macans seem much more random in terms of TC issues, as compared to the 958s.

My 2011 Cayenne Turbo had 3 transfer cases in the time I had it. The final one, which was the latest revision, seemed to be holding up well when I traded it. Some Cayenne owners are seeing positive results with a fluid change, others not so much. From what I’ve seen with the 958.1 and 958.2 gen Cayennes, it’s just a matter of time if you don’t have the latest version.

Chiming in..
I have a 2016 Macan Turbo with about 47K on the clock. I had to have the TC replaced (CPO) a few months back. I bought it used, with ...maybe 39k on the clock.
My CPO is up in Dec of 2021....I'm wondering if it's worth keeping beyond then (my wife loves it).

Did you flush the TC fluid regularly or just rely on the CPO to fix it...............I must say, I wish I had read this forum before I bought my Cayenne Turbo.............I can't believe that a car with an MSRP of 175,000.00 can have so many major DESIGN FLAWS THAT ARE SERIOUS.....................

The Cayenne, from what I'm reading, has a drastically different and more pronounced issue with the TC than the Macan.

Just be thankful you didn't buy any of the earlier Cayennes and 911s. Talk about a real POS.

I decided to purchase an after market warranty from the Porsche dealer................ TC replacement is 4x the cost of a 5 year extended warranty......... Too many issues I have read about to own this 2016 TTs Cayenne .........It only has 20k miles but what if it has lots of issues ??????

Thanks for the response I went back thru this thread and it "seems" most reports are aligned to S and Turbo model's , I wonder if the base 4 cycl is less likely to experience this issue when approaching 30 - 50k miles as I have a base 2020 on order
