Issues started with being unable to open rear trunk using either the driver side switch or the remote - no sound of an actuator being triggered. Next day, dashboard warning that spoiler wouldn't deploy. Next day, rear left break light doesn't work. There isn't any remote chance that these are all related, is there? Appears strange to me. 2006 Porsche Boxster S Help appreciated in diagnosing and fix description. Richard

Pennies over $3,200

Don't be surprised if it's over a USD$2,400 repair. It did fix the problem, and now my Cayenne is amazing!

It was a none-Porsche mechanic. He suggested that the constant wearing would damage the transmission - I'm vehicle mechanics illiterate! Since the original post, I have taken it to a Porsche dealership in Dallas that confirm it as valve body. It's scheduled to be fixed on 8/16. Thanks.

Middle of the vehicle - the first time I heard this, I thought I'd left the transmission on the road somewhere behind me! It has been suggested that (an interim fix) is to replace the valve (something-or-others) in the transmission - however, due to likely waring on the transmission gears, it would only be a matter of time before a complete transmission would be required. Thoughts?

I recently purchased an '04 Cayenne Turbo with 24k miles. Test driving the vehicle didn't display anything of what I am about to describe... Most often, 4th gear upon acceleration (rarely on deceleration) bump, hiccup and associated "clunk". Consistent issue with downshift under acceleration. Dominant in 5th-3rd downshift, but also present in 4th-3rd in acceleration only. Present in manual and auto-shift mode under moderate acceleration. Any ideas for a resolution? Is the vehicle considered safe until resolved? (stupid question, but I need to ask). Many thanks
