I would threaten a court action under Consumer Rights Act 2015, which clearly states goods must be fit “for purpose”, I believe you would not find it hard to prove that the transfer box is not fit for purpose. I find Porsche arrogance unbelievable, equally so is the way so many customers accept this .

Hi Guy
No issues, I've had the box fitted from new and never removed it through two services and two health checks - they know it's there, but have not mentioned it - although I did ask them not to do the software updates on the last service as I don't know how it will affect the car and I'm very happy with the way it is just now.

spoke too soon, 2000 miles later the problem has started again exactly as before, same wheel feels like it is kicking on tight turns. Question is was it a botched fix (new transfer box) or didn't they identify the problem correctly has moisture ingressed again? hey ho, back and forth to the dealer again. Time to get a new car but what do I replace it with?
There is another thread somewhere confirming the part number of the new modified box as 95B341010AX - worth checking your warranty invoice....

On the US forum someone is suggesting that the 'AX' may denote a transfer box that has been 'factory rebuilt' - ie not new.
The thread is here: https://www.macanforum.com/forum/compla ... ent-2.html

Quite possibly correct although I think it was confirmed in the other thread that the “A” was the modified bit and the “X” stood for exchange unit - ie the factory won’t supply the new box without the old one going back (standard practice for major units in my previous experience.)
Whether or not the old cases are rebuilt / recycled is the unknown bit (but I doubt if it is cost-effective unless the case casting is identical, in which case it shouldn’t be an issue)

Yep, I agree with the above. Parts are often modified throughout the vehicle's life cycle. They start with a part number, then an A-suffix denotes the first modification, B the second and so on. X denotes an exchange so that the part can be returned to the manufacturer, recycled and rebuilt using updated components.

So does the X denote that particular part has been factory reconditioned or exchange is required? Not strictly the same thing.
