No, but did you try asking Pfaff? What do they say? If you dont know anyone there, I highly recommend John Hulley specifically for his honest approach among other qualities. Shoot me a pm and I can connect you via email if you'd like.

Ronan, I think you have the 2008, but other than the engine being different, have you had any problems with it? I have read about the drive shaft bearing, coil and coolant pipe issues. These two are priced fairly agressively it would appear and with CPO, I am wondering if I should get one.

Well.. my experience is about to change. My 2008 S has been flawless despite very long distance towing, winters, offroading and so on. I have about 105000 km on it. Least trouble I eve had on that mileage.
However, I left it in for a service this week because I am about to do another AZ trip and some Route 66 stuff.
Service is going to be very expensive I think.
-Electronic keys are both about shot and have to be replaced
-new rear pads ( admittedly 110,000 on a single set of pads is pretty good)
-oil leak. This is a big deal- several day' work. I was unaware of it but definitely not heading our on an 8000Km round trip with a trailer full of Mercedes SL500 on the way back. I will post the result. Should know tomorrow.

Ronan, so did you find out what's wrong with yours?
BTW, Pfaff insisted that 265/50R19 are the right size tires for the 2006 Cayenne S and that the car has passed CPO certification. I called Porsche and was told, as stated on the door jam and in the owner's manual, that 275/45R19 and 255/50R19 are the only Porsche approved tire sizes for the 2006 Cayenne S with 19" rims. This is the same info as found on Porsche's website. So what can I do or what should I do?
