@Bert, this is not a refurbished part, it is a revised version that you want that ends in an "AX" and it is brand new with new programming module and it did take about a month to ship. There is extensive precedent to this including this forum so I would push for total coverage. We had both Cayenne and Macan transfer cases replaced and my SA at least for the Cayenne said that he would replace it even out of warranty given precedent and several published bulletins. Either way, 650 USD is a great price to get this fixed so I would say your are very fortunate to have it diagnosed quickly and then ordered.

Thank you @sergeyb for the information. That is goods news!

Parts just ordered; very appreciative of Porsche’s goodwill because the estimate is around USD2,800 with me paying USD650.

Part number is 95B341010AX, so it looks like it is a refurbished part. Still it will take a month for the part to be shipped over.

It stinks that you have to wait on this. My Macan was at the dealership for 7 weeks while they waited for my transfer case to be made back in 2016. We almost went the Lemon Law route, but got it resolved. Fortunately, our dealer gave us a Panny to drive for the whole time. We had it so long that the Hubster ended up detailing it with a clay bar while he was washing it! All's good now & I'm hoping it stays that way.

I suspect Porsche is going to offer goodwill on the transfer case outside warranty period. They didn't issue a recall for this because it is not a safety issue in general.

Hi,

Seems like a lot of people have had transfer case failure. Dealer just called me and said needs to be replaced.

What does this include? is it the just case or gears include? sorry for lack of knowledge and appreciate details.

thank you

 

[aftCG]

Transfer case refers to the entire unit with gears. I guess I never thought of the term but see how one might hear "crank case" (which is just the housing for the heart of the engine) and equate the two.

It would be most expedient for them to remove/replace the entire unit, but I've been surprised by both Subaru and Porsche in the past. For some issues they'll only provide a sub assembly and make the dealers do the build.

 

[ogie]

nice. thank you. I'm happy the whole thing is getting replaced and from what i'm reading, new ones are a bit more durable and improved in some shape or form.

 

[FLDavid]

Make sure you get the "new" part: "95B.341.010.A" (hard to imagine that you wouldn't, but verify when you pick up your Macan)

I really hope this is now sorted in the facelift.

On one of the other transfer case threads here I read that Porsche has vent extension kits for the transfer case and differential that raise the vent opening to make it less likely for either of them to suck in water. Does anybody have the Porsche part numbers for those vent kits? Thanks!

 

[jzwu]

Porsche needs to add the vent kit to all existing Macan's free of charge.

Ensure the newer part is to be installed into your vehicle *before* they perform the service!

Of course -- good thinkin'

 

[ogie]

thank you guys. Emailed them asking for the part number. Will see what it comes back with.

Also can you believe i was quoted $3700 to get techart suspension springs.

Newest part number ends with a ‘X’

Here you go — full list. They replace the full case (with internals). Just had mine replaced yesterday

Hmm. I recall that with the M96 engines being replaced in Boxters and 996s the serial number ending in X was a factory rebuild (not new).

Macan S 2017 Transfer Case replaced at 13k (2 1/2 yr).
Part replaced with: 95B341010AX

No questions asked after road test. Took 48hrs to repair. Part in stock. Performance back to normal. No complaints with dealer in Puerto Rico.

 

[Jshore]

I had my 2015 Macan S transfer case replaced last month at 34 k on the odo.I probably should have had it done earlier as it seemed to slip for a year or so prior to replacing it. Having it done 3 months before the warranty expires put a smile on my face as my SA said it would have cost near $ 5,000 to get it fixed out of warranty.

 

[Teddis]

Kshore, what were your symptoms and how did you present this to the S/A , dealer ?
Thx

 

[jzwu]

Darn, my transfer case seems to behave perfectly at 34k miles and I only got 2 months of warranty left.

Has anyone else wished his/her transfer case had failed like me now? LOL
