Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Porsche Cayenne, especially older models like the 2012 version, can develop oil leaks due to worn-out gaskets and seals.

Coolant leaks

These vehicles often face issues with coolant leaks, which can be attributed to failing water pumps or cracked coolant lines.

Ignition coil failure

The V8 engines in the Cayenne are known to have ignition coil issues that can cause misfires and performance problems.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or the tensioners may fail, leading to engine performance issues or even severe engine damage.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or failing fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and trouble starting the engine.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the one in the Cayenne can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.

Pcv valve failure

A bad PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve can cause rough idling, increased oil consumption, and engine performance issues.

Thermostat failure

A faulty thermostat can cause the engine to overheat or not reach optimal operating temperature, affecting performance and fuel economy.
