  1. Hello Wvicary, Thanks for your input, even though it is bad news. I am going to get the car scoped by my local Porsche dealership today. I will be sure to update you all regarding the knocking issue and post pictures as well... Wish me luck. Is this a common issue? I have seen this occur on multiple forums and sites, all with the similar problem. It appears that most were able to resolve this within the warranty, but many are SOL. Thanks, Sam
  2. Hello Larry, I have the same issues. I purchased a 2004 Porsche Cayenne S literally two days ago, and have engine knocking sound. The dealer that sold me the car said it would fix for maybe $2,000 US, but I took it to a certified Porsche dealership and based on the sound alone they said there is internal motor damage and I need a new engine. Not sure if that is the case, well hoping it isn't. It appears that there have been plenty of issues with the Cayenne. I love the car, it is truly amazing, just that darn knocking noise and the fear of the vehicle not working, or worse dying on me when I drive. I am trying to the return the vehicle since it has only been two days since my purchase, I shall see how if it works. Below is a video of my Cayenne. Is that what your wife's Cayenne sounds like? If anyone has any suggestions regarding the noise, or how to possibly return the vehicle please let me know. Thanks so much, Sam
  3. Hey PKN, Thanks for the advice, I will be sure to try it. I purchased the vehicle 2 days ago and reside in Illinois. The dealer told me that it is a minor issue to fix, may cost a couple hundred or a thousand, nothing too major, but that is not the case. I took it to my local Porsche dealership to check the car. The entire shop pretty much huddled around the "noisy" Cayenne and agreed that the clanking sound was due to a bad engine, that there is internal motor damage, and would cost $20,000 to get a new motor, which was more that I paid for the car itself. They all advised me to return the car immediately, so I called and went to dealership, but they "closed early" on Firday, but did not post it anywhere at the dealership. In conclusion, this car is not what I expected. My father and I wanted a Cayenne for so many years, but not one with a screwed up engine. Also, the air conditioner does not work, nor is the navigation working properly, all which were not brought up by the dealer. Does anyone know if I can return the car, or if anyone has been in a similar situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sam
  4. Hello All, I recently purchased a 2004 Cayenne S with 71,000 miles and shortly after I started to hear a knocking noise. I searched this site, as well as others, I am not sure if it in caused by the water pump or something far worse like cylinder damage. I would greatly appreciate your input, feedback, and suggestions. Please visit the YouTube link below to see and hear the knocking sound I am referring to.
