Not good news!
I thought the replacement boxes all came with modified seals (to prevent the water ingress - the supposed cause of the issue?)
No help, but my GTS is 26 months old and on 22000 miles with no symptoms (kiss of death!😂)

You need to be asking for an extended warranty foc, at least on the ‘box.

I am speaking to the dealer principle tomorrow again, the actual failure was within 4 months of each other and the car has 26 k.

Hope they do the decent thing, along the lines that Paul suggests above. Good luck!

Oddly enough. I have detected a slight lurch on take off again. My Macan had a new Transfer Box only a few weeks ago. It has spoiled my driving experience to be honest. Disappointed with the issue considering the cost of the car. If it needs another one, then that's then end of my Porsche experience.

That’s exactly how I feel but it is a great car, and the question is what could replace it ?
