Im looking into getting a 2010 Porsche Cayenne GTS. I searched the forum for possible problems related to the Cayenne. I came across the cooling pipes but later figured out from 2007+ Porsche replaced rubber hoses with aluminum pipes.. My questions are:

 

1) drive shaft at 100k miles i think
2) coils can go
3) starter motor seems to have a shelf life shorter than many.
4) i think that version of the head unit has problems installing satellite radio if it was not part of the build - at least my 2010 turbo cab similar head unit did.

mileage related for most of the above.

they are the best Cayenne imo , having owned a Turbo as my first version, i find this one much more fun. not as fast, but the sound alone kills the turbo.

btw - if you can find a full leather interior , i recommend it - looks so much better.

 

I have had my 2010 GTS for a year now. Nice vehicle. It has been solid. Issues to date are clogged AC drain that caused wet carpet on passenger side and a slow oil drip from upper oil pan gasket (a drop on the garage floor every couple weeks). It costs a fortune in labor to fix so I am living with it for the time being..... The PCM is quirky (random reboots, etc...). Had the same issue with the PCM in my 07 Carrera S.
*I love the leather/alcantra seats!

 

TCZ - so you lowered it 25 mil - what bench is that from? 25 mil lower than the bottom entry level or from the stock or from the sport mode ? you have to do an alignment o something as well if you drop it like that?

 

I had it done at a shop. Pretty sure it should be down 25mm from every level. But to be honest I think it is only super noticeable at Load Level (so looks great when parked). I want to give it another shot because I would like to be lower in the lowest driving mode. May have to do lowering links. Common sense would be that an alignment should be done but I haven't done one yet and tires show no excessive wear.
