Hi all

As I contemplate between a 2009 Cayenne both the V6 and V8 and a 2009 Toureg V6 TDI, I'm wondering about long term (major) maintenance issues. Does either the V6 or V8 engine have a timing chain that does not require servicing? Any other general comments on reliability would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Rick

V®6 and V8 Cayenne engines use both maintenance free timing chains, however, the V®6 is well known for a stretching chain, which you can not hardly prevent. An annual oil and filter change, or max. 20.000 Km (whichever comes first) with a recommended oil weight and brand, does any harm IMHO.
