Porsche Cayenne 2005 S 4.5 FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SYMPTOMS (APRIL 29TH 2016 133,000 MILES) Starting to give me symptoms on the front differential since about 2 months ago. At the beginning I thought it was the brake pads again since the first time I did the Brake service (rotors-pads-fluid) I did not use any padding besides the metal shims from the factory pads which were supposed to be an upgrade carbon ceramic type. Not recommended!!! since the truck its too heavy for such a hard composite to bite the disk and stick to it!!! I went back to the basic pad I think semi-metallic which does stick to the disk way more than the ceramic ones. side note: ceramic brake pads are for light vehicle not heavy ones like this SUV. :oops: DOUBLE THE WORK AND EXPENSIVE PARTS NOT GOOD RESULTS... My symptoms are when slowing down to a stop. I do hear the front differential gears engaging and at the end right at the stop moment a snap sound coming from the teeth of the gears!!!!!! It does not happen all the time but has become more and more frequent. I sounds like someone hit your car with a stone on a solid part of vehicle. After reading all the comments from the contributors makes me want to get rid of my truck!!! It's a very nice ride but very heavy!!! :drive: Thank you all for your contributions :notworthy: My remedies for now before changing anything at this point will be to replace my fluids to get rid of metal parts and find out how bad the metal parts come out from the differential fluids at this time to make my mind about it a little better.
