  1. As per the workshop manual reference:

    Take all the spark plugs out except for #3.

    Insert the ignition rod module back in cylinder 1 hole.

    Rotate crankshaft pulley until igniter rod module pops out of its hole.

    Continue to rotate crankshaft until the fixing bore hole on the crankshaft belt pulley is aligned with the bore in the the timing case cover. You now have ignition TDC.

    Rotate an additional 360 degrees to get overlapping TDC.

  2. My research reveals that the Porsche recommended oils are non synthetic.

    Using alternative synthetic oils is not recommended as it may affect seals in the transmission that have been subject to initial mineral oils. This may lead to possible leaks from the transmission.

    Sound maintenance philosophy is to use the Porsche recommended oil and change it more frequently, every 40,000 miles.

  3. Without codes we are guessing, but it sounds like your transfer case servo motor is not working.

     

    Check the fuse for it, if ok then it most probably will be a servo motor replacement.

     

    If the servo requires replacement, it may also need a controller replacement to match the new version motor. This was common for the early model Cayennes.

     

    If it is a faulty servo motor, it will be putting the transfer case in the wrong gear position. This will result in excessive loads on the drivetrain.

     

    Servo is about $1000 AUD and the controller is another $950 AUD. Labour will be $1000 if done at the dealer.

     

    With this type of fault it is a good idea to not drive it until you fix the issue, otherwise your repair bill will be significantly higher if you damage the transfer box.

     

    Get it fixed.
