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.

I would also think that a lot of Macan owners do not even know about this site so there may be more TC issues than we realize. No way to know. You are right that this should be taken care of for free regardless.

That would kind of be me. I have belonged for a while but don’t have the time to scroll through or forget about it until I get an email telling me what chatter I’ve been missing out on. Then I read about the problems people are having and I become paranoid. The TC “sound” and “feel” that folks describe....just when I think I know every sound of my car and feel in tune with it - maybe I’m missing something....

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.

 

[santastico]

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.

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

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.

I can hardly wait. My car was built at the same time as yours. Ugh.

I'm surprised they don't just issue a recall on these by now.

If you mention the symptoms, do you think they would just go ahead and do the replacement? Or do they really test for them.
Based on how common it is, I would assume they treat it like an oil change at this point.

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.
