Hi Everyone.

I am new to this forum since I haven't purchased a Cayenne yet, so please forgive me if this is common knowledge to everyone here.

I'm looking at buying a 2011 CTT and I want to know if it has PTV+ and PDCC.
Is there anyway I can tell if it has these two options without looking at the build sheet? Are there buttons or something in the cockpit that gives it away? If so, can someone be so gracious as to share a photo?

Thanks!

Mine has both, no buttons that I'm aware of. I ran the options when it was avalable on this forum. You can also ask any Porsche dealer to run your options sheet. They will need your VIN. BTW, if the $$$$ is right buy it, you'll love it!

There are no "buttons" as the two systems are always active. I believe if you pop the hood, you should be able to see the PDCC fluid reservoir. I recall see a thread with an image.

Yep, driver's side. There is a twin to the power steering fluid reservoir if you have PDCC. The earlier cars, through '09, had PDCC at the bottom of all the console buttons in silver...

Best way is to look at the option sticker for the relevant codes. It's in the spare tire compartment in the trunk, on the inside of the lid.

Cheers,

Ok, I'll bite on this, since per my build sheet, my CTT has both PDCC & PTV. But mine is a 2012.
I just looked under the hood & there is only one fill reservoir (green cap) between the positive jump terminal (red), and the negative jump terminal.

Here is a pic of my 2012 driver side. Did they change this in 2012?? No PDCC fill reservoir?

I also could not find a option code sticker under the lid for the spare tire. Always wondered where that sticker might be on these new Cayenne's. Still can't find one. Just trusted the VIN build sheet.
{ It handles great, but I don't have much other Cayenne driving experience to compare against }

Thanks Guys!
I now have learned it was a Repo, so I'm a little worried about it. It currently has 32,000 on it, but last oil change (at a dealer) was 18,000. It's very dirty on the inside, so one would think they weren't taking care of it. It is very heavily optioned (Burm, PCCB, PU4), which I'm discovering is rare. How much damage could they have done?? It will need a little TLC for a month or so to get in in good shape.
What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve - the second reservoir is visible under the black panel to the right of the "visible" reservoir, just medial to the positive battery cable. You have it... it's just hidden.

Thanks Garrett - Yep, I see the PDCC Reservoir now. Much easier to see when you stand directly in front of the vehicle & look under that plastic cover (which is NOT easy to get off). And you can also see the two oil lines from there too. When I get more time, I'll be following those lines down underneath, and get familiar with the whole system. I really want to learn more about the pneumatic anti-roll mechanisms.
Oh, and since fox32223 was asking in his OP for a picture, I snapped one (picture below)...

@ fox32223 :: My comments on rarity are this:
- Yes, PCCB seems rare in Cayenne's. Do we really need it in a SUV? - Not so many folks order with PCCB. That's a pretty cool option to have though.
- PU4? Not so rare. Convenience packages are added all the time in our Cayenne's. Especially when you consider the PU4 includes: (7Y1 LCA Lance Change Assist, 7X8 Rearview Camera, 3Y8 power sunscreen in back seat windows, 9MB Comfort Lighting, 4A4 Seat Heating (fr & rear), Air Suspension, 4D3 Fr Seat Ventilation, 9AH 4-zone climate, 8T3 Adaptive Cruise, 4F6 Entry & Drive). Bundle them all together & it becomes an economical purchase.

>> Site note regarding "packaging": I was SO surprised when I priced out the "Sport Package". Crazy to see that PDCC by itself costs JUST AS MUCH as buying the whole "Sport Package" and with the whole pkg you get the PDCC, plus the sport steering wheel with alum paddle shifters, AND PTV!! Strange how Porsche priced those comparatively.

PICTURE: PDCC Reservoir & upper lines (just to the right of the engine)...

Thanks for Everyones Help/Advice. I didn't buy the CTT, things just didn't work out on it, but I'm still in the market. I really do appreciate the friendlyness of this forum.

Just an Update, the 2011 CTT was sold for 58,500. But it had holes in the leather, stains on the leather, bumpers needed repainted, all the carpet was stained, oil hadn't been changed in 15,000 miles, the Drive and entry keys were lost, guy that did the repo lost the some the parts to get the ignition unlocked and trans into neutral, and the tires were wore out. With all that said, I'm kind of glad I didn't get it, seems to me who ever owned it really abused it. Total retail price $142,410. Hard to understand how you can abuse such nice a SUV.

If you can't make the payments and know that they are going to repo it, you sorta stop caring.

Sad.
