This was useless. Anyone looking specifically for a Diesel Cayenne probably knows what theyre looking for when buying a used car. I was looking for information specific to these cars not just general buying advice that applies to every car.
Agreed. I spent 2-3 years looking for the right one in my price range. They explained nothing to actually look for. And the best mod to do for these it delete, exhaust and tune.
The 3.0 diesel was designed to leak coolant and oil. The plastic parts are garbage, and I just spent a month replacing everything plastic at 120k miles. The dealership quoted me 8k to do the work, so I did it myself. Intake carbon build up is absolutely ridiculous. A complete exhaust system delete is definitely worth it when anything in the regeneration system fails. It is a very enjoyable car to drive. Diesels need to breathe.
Porsche sold just over 15,000 Cayenne Diesels in the United States from the 2013 model year (first year it was sold) to the 2016 model year when it was discontinued halfway through the run. To put that into perspective, Ford sold approximately 15,000 F-150s PER WEEK in 2023. They also sold more F-150 Lighting vehicles in 2023 that the entire Cayenne diesel production run of four years.
Weak spots to mention are the rear door locks, the optional air suspension and trouble with the transfer case. On the towing capacity - fun fact the 958 Diesel S holds the world record in pulling a 680,000 pound Airbus A380…
Just bought one with Towing, and Air Suspension at 230K miles. Everything works perfectly however the RMS and Timing Chain cover is leaking, but it's a unicorn spec I'm willing to live with.
I was hoping for some Diesel specifics to look for, not just the things you would look for on every car. Any info on emissions fixes? I've heard fuel pumps can go bad, necessitate the replacement of the whole fuel system....
gotta talk about the costs to repair when it is not just maintenance. It is a Porsche and just the parts, let alone the cost per shot hour will be very expensive if something does come up
engine si bullet proof and will go 500k miles, transmission same as Toyota land cruiser bullet proof as well for million miles, transfer case is different from gas cayenne and not prone to failures, differentials are bullet proof as well. That's why they started to appreciate in prices and will keep appreciating with less of them on the road especially with terrible built quality and cheap looking interior of last facelift

Yeah they didn't touch on any of the mechanical gotchas of the diesel specifically.
Glad you commented this before I wasted my time watching the entire video.

I thought this was a very good review. Information was relevant, and that clip about the DEF has not been covered in other reviews I've watched.
I'm randomly interested in one of these - a really unique vehicle that just might scratch all the itches I've got.
Go find it! Good luck.

Diesels don't have the transfer case issues the gassers do

That is great! How much for a 230K cayenne?

We have several friends with diesels - and the fuel pumps have not been an issue for any of them.
Hello, what year is this? I didn’t catch a year. Thank you
Did you get the 4.2tdi in the USA ?
Mrs. Rob said she needs the car MUCH higher so she can see over Suburbans and Ram trucks that are so common in the area.
We agree!
Amazeballs!

There have not been much need for repair - these are robust cars and have had little issue. Rob tows an airstream with his with zero issues.
@@husmanbros yep not saying they are not reliable. Just when things do go wrong they go wrong expensively.
@@mrjirey it's a VW. not that bad for most things. Interior bits and some of the electronics would be a bit pricier.

Are the bosh high pressure fuel pumps a concern?
Not particularly
Vw Touareg
Cheap as chips in here in U.K.
Towing 3500KG weight.
I though 123,458 ounces would have sounded more impressive, but 3500kg would have been easier to remember.
