Whether fact or fiction, Come another 4K at 30,000 miles, I'll be doing my own plugs. But I will take it to a dealership to have the fluid changed as preventative maintenance. If it works, great. If not, I've wasted coin on the fluid changes.

Some Cayenne owners are seeing positive results with a fluid change, others not so much. From what I’ve seen with the 958.1 and 958.2 gen Cayennes, it’s just a matter of time if you don’t have the latest version.

The Macans seem much more random in terms of TC issues, as compared to the 958s.

I have a 2016 Macan Turbo with about 47K on the clock. I had to have the TC replaced (CPO) a few months back. I bought it used, with ...maybe 39k on the clock.


My CPO is up in Dec of 2021....I'm wondering if it's worth keeping beyond then (my wife loves it).
