MACAN.15 - just seeing your post. Are you in NB? If so, you must be dealing with not having a local dealer.... PM me if so. Be curious to compare notes on the "local" dealer.

 

In machine shops swarf is generally used to describe the waste material coming off whatever is being machined in a lathe. It peels off in long spirals and can be very sharp.

 

Just had the transfer case repair completed on my vehicle

It is a 2017 - GTS


I purchased CPO 10/2018 with 6700 miles.



Noted the problem probably around 9k miles, diagnosed when I asked them to look into it during 10k service. Replaced @ 12.2K miles due to obtaining part and scheduling with dealer.

 

Add me to the list.
Transfer case replaced today. Gear 1 to 2 shudder...GONE.
Very happy here.

Was reading about “burnishing” in process.
Would the dealer do this ?? Or is this something we should do ?

-A
-AX Transfers boxes, when fitted to failing Macan also have new control software loaded to the Macan. The short delay on my car today was due this software load. Macan computer not co operating. They were successful in the end and all seems well with the MT.

My questions is, if this is virtually the same TC, just with better venting, why is control software updated,? for the better one would think.

What specifically does this software control ?

One more for the list

I have a 2017 Macan GTS with 28,406 miles. A few weeks ago I noticed a mild shuddering feeling in low gear, particularly when starting uphill or into a turn. As others have described, it feels like driving over a rumble strip. It goes away as I accelerate past 1st gear. Called dealer and he immediately suspected transfer case. He did a quick test drive to confirm. Parts have been ordered.

 

2017 Macan S with 41k miles.

Noticed that when I try to go forward after backing out in opposite direction (like getting out of the garage butt first) the car doesn't move when I press the accelerator (hesitates), it just sits there until I press the accelerator a bit more.

Is this another TC symptom?

I don’t think so, sounds like the brake “hold” feature.

 

I believe the earlier transfer case number was 95B- 341 - 010.
No A or X

 

2016 turbo, transfer case replaced under warranty 12-2018 @ 15,500 miles. new part # 95B-341-010-AX

 

I bought a certified 2015 S in May 2018. At 32K miles the problem manifested itself (June of this year.) Dealer fixed under warranty. A glance at the invoice indicated would have been a charge of over $4,000. Dodged a big bullet there.

Otherwise, a most enjoyable ride.

 

Transfer Case

Ours started at 48K miles. Noticed the car seemed to be jerking when taking off.

Also noticed an oil leak from the drivers side when doing the transmission service. Which nobody would ever notice if you don't take the belly pans off.

Bought our 2016 from a Ford dealer. Took it to Porsche and they immediately recognized both issues. Taking it in 8/9 to have both issues fixed.

Thought the dealer would give me crap about doing my own maintenance (especially the transmission) but they didn't say a word.

How is your Macan holding up?

 

Just had the transfer case on my Wife 2016 Macan S replaced today with 35,600 Miles. She took the car to the dealer and they did not even test drive it, just ordered a new transfer case and installed it.

 

What are your Macan’s symptoms? My 2015 S has 35k miles now.

 

My 2016 S with 51,000 miles was delivered home from the dealer today with a new transfer case. I've not driven it yet except to park it in the garage. I am interested to see how she drives.

 

@grim: Just add my 2015 Macan S to the list. It has 36,000 miles and warranty has expired 6 months ago. The car was shuttering while accelerating and jerking a lot. I took it to my dealer last week and they said 99.99% was a bad transfer case and they would schedule an appointment to get it checked. Dropped the car off this morning and just got it back. Transfer case was replaced (part# P95B-341-010-AX) plus a bunch of other parts that go together. Although out of warranty dealer pick it up the tab. Amazing customer service that makes me even more loyal to the dealer and to Porsche. Drove back home just for couple miles and can already notice a huge difference in how smooth the car drives.

 

How quickly did the symptoms develop? Yeah, Porsche picked up the tab. Dealer won’t.

 

Either way Porsche or the dealer I am happy I was not charged almost $4k out of warranty. I have been feeling the car different in the last 3-4 months.

 

Guess the TC issue takes a few months to reveal itself, like the oil leak, which may take even longer. :facepalm:

 

...whelp... I may have spoken too **** soon the other week... I could be going insane, but I swear I felt slight “jerks” today in the transmission when going from a stand-still... TWICE. I’m aware of the tell-tale signs, so I’ll monitor for a few days and report back.

Another one bites the dust - 2016 Macan Turbo with 36k miles. Symptoms developed over the last few weeks and getting progressively worse. Took it in today and the SA knew what it was immediately, then confirmed by tech. Parts on order, arriving tomorrow.

 

I've had my 16 S with 50k miles back for 1 week and it drives dramatically different...dramatically better. I now know that the TC was slipping (or malfunctioning) for a couple of months. The bump in 2nd gear was very subtle and difficult to detect. It was easy to attribute it to a bump in the road. Just prior to the repair, the issue developed to the point that it was unmistakable and noticeable when backing up or driving in traffic where it was shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears. Glad to have the old Macan back again.

 

I had today finally my transfer box replaced on my 2018 Macan S. I noticed the strange feel when accelerating at 27500 miles and finally had my appointment to get it fixed at 28000 miles.. I was planning to keep this car forever - now I have doubts.

 

As you seem to be aware it's a very common issue on the Macan well into the MY2018 cars (your build is most likely before 03-04 month of 2018).
On the plus side, it happened to you while under warranty and I don't believe the issue comes back up.

 

It is a 12/17 build ... placed order late October 2017 and took delivery in 3rd week of January 2018.

 

17 TT, is this the newest version of the TC?

That's the 'generic' transfer case part number - 95B 341 010 - maybe the A above it indicates it's a newer model.

Search the forum and you'll find discussion of replacement and newer xfer case part numbers. IIRC, an 'A' was mentioned.
I believe an 'X' was also noted.
