Looks nice. Caveat emptor the EA837 3.6TT engine. Oil leaks, broken bolts inside the engine. Read about it.

Thanks!
Super picky nasty Porsche previous owner. All has been taken care of. Also is taking care at the same mech as my Cayman. Looking for exchange my Cayman for that one.

It doesn't matter how fastidious the previous owner was. The engine in that car is a ticking time bomb and no amount of previous maintenance can fix it. I wouldn't go near it.

Very rare and special!
Only repair i've had on mine is wheel speed sensors.

Proof? And yes. I know about the long thread about bolts in the oil pan for one individual. And many of us have had the typical TCC leak. Mine was found by me between 25k and 30k miles since I'm one of those **** people that changes their oil/filter every 5k.

No. The EA837 is the 90-degree cold vee 3.0/3.6L V6 used by Porsche in the Macan, Panamera and Cayenne.

I don't know where you get the source that says there's an EA837 in any Macan, the location of the oil filter alone should tell you that it's not from the EA family.

There is no resemblence between EA837 and EA839, except for 90-degree vee and 6 cylinders.
Neither the EA888 (4 cylinder) nor EA824 (V8) nor EA825 (V8). It's just a VAG naming convention.
