I have a 2015 Macan S purchased new in June 2014 which had the transfer case replaced at 19k miles March 2019. Now in August 2021 at 27K miles the transfer case needs to be replaced once again. Porsche extended the warranty 7yrs so I was reimburse $3000 for the first replacement. The 2nd replacement is 6 weeks beyond the Porsche extension period of 7 years. It is impossible to speak to anyone at Porsche about this recurring issue and to have them acknowledge they have used faulty transfer cases in their vehicles. How many others are in this same situation? Porsche should issue a recall on cars with this style transfer case.

For years my 2017 SD has had an intermittent clicking sound pulling away on right hand lock. I reported it to OPC years ago and they could find nothing wrong. I left it to an Indy last week and described the issue. They immediately said that’s Transfer Case and have confirmed it by test driving. They will raise the matter with OPC who will want to do their own assessment.
Macan SD Vocano Grey. LEDs, Pano Roof, PSE, Sports Chrono, PASM, Sports Design Mirrors, 21" Sports Classics in Black, lots of other extras.

He's already told us the transfer case has been replaced, viewtopic.php?p=288556#p288556, but hasn't said anything about the clicking noise so far.

Thanks Nick, if I could pull all the relevant threads together, I could take up knitting maybe.
