Own a Macan S from new back in Dec 22 & it’s only done 6k miles & the transfer box needs replacing on warranty, booked in at Porsche for next month. Started juddering & skipping exactly what you said yours did on the video at about 4k miles 😬 Keep up the good work 👌🏼
I have had to replace the transfer case twice in first 27K miles on my 2015 Macan S. First time Porsche reimbursed me $3,000 for the repair when they extended the warranty on this part to 7 years due to so many problems with their transfer cases. 2nd transfer case I will need to pay for because I am 6 weeks past the 7 year warranty. Seems many owners are starting to replace for 2nd time. Porsche should be recalling the Macans for this issue. Very disappointed with Porsche for not taking ownership of their faulty transfer cases.
We have had 2 Macans (2014 & 2015 model), both needed a transfer box replaced. Original warranty was 5 years, Porsche extended this to 7 years as it became a known problem. One was done just out of the original warranty before Porsche extended it, the other just after 7 years) Both were not fixed at Porsche (Porsche quoted £3,000 to £4,000, but we had them done at a specialist for around £1,500) Porsche refused to refund, even after the warranty was extended as we didn't repair it through them. Fabulous cars though, just about to collect a new 2023 Macan S. Spot on, the warning signs of a transfer box failure are very slight juddering when going slow and through the lower gears.
That's a shame you had to pay for them to be done. I collected my Macan S from almost 200miles away from home and literally a few weeks later I could tell the symptoms were there. I took it in to my local dealer and thought they may be funny about the ordeal.....but as soon as they diagnosed the symptoms they resolved the issue. It was really good after that. I placed an order for the new Macan S but the wait was over 18 months due to various global issues hence I cancelled it..... currently driving an Audi A7 and a Mk8 Golf GTi
I owned a 2017 Macan S and I must say that I never had issues with the dealership, they were always very cooperative and outstanding customer service!! I then decided to sell it because of the timing chain cover leak that was common on those Macans.
Hi Dharam, Thank you very much for your video and sharing your experience. I am having an issue with my 2021 Macan S occasionally failing to accelerate after stopping at a traffic light. It will get stuck in 1st gear at 5000-6000 RPM for about 30-45 seconds and then self-correct. Did you ever experience something similar? The dealership is clueless. Thank you!
Really useful. Thanks. Bought my 2018 Macan S last year and it's still not quite done 10,000 miles - but the transfer box went last week! Pleased Porsche have effectively acknowledged it as a manufacturing problem and extended the warranty on the part.
You should have no issues with a warranty claim. The replacement part is a modified part with vents to allow cooling. Glad you found my vid useful. All the best!
Have a 2016 S diesel. Had the same problems at around 60 000 km (38 000miles). Porsche changed the transferbox for free. Like you I hope the new one is an uppgradera one.
Thanks for the video. I am having some problems with the Macan which seems to be similar to what you are describing, however the dealer is trying to get out of accepting responsibility for the issue. Could you point me to the right place to find the warranty extensions by Porsche?
I would recommend speaking with Porsche UK customer service. You can also look at Porsche Forums to find it being a global issue on certain models and can use that as ammunition for your dealership
Very interesting video mate, I have the same problem with my cayenne which is going back to Porsche AGAIN this month as they said there was nothing wrong with the car when I took it to them first time, I don't think they want to spend the money on a new transfer case 😂, also have an oil leak they need to look at too. I purchased mine in November last year during lockdown so I didn't get to test drive it, I kinda regret buying the car and lost trust in the brand!
The transfer box is a known issue....I do agree that they must replicate the issue before commissioning the repair or warranty work. Oil leak should be a simple case for you as long ad you can point the leak out to them. Don't get put off the brand, it's better than the service you'd get from JLR lol. You might need to go out with a technician so you can replicate the issue with them. All the best!
@@DownShiftThrottle you'd expect an issue like this to be picked up during the 111 approved used car inspection which Porsche are proud of but no they'd rather let you find out yourself 🤣 may be I have high expectations but then why not if I'm buying from such brand 🤔 Hope you're enjoying the car now the transfer case has been replaced, keep up the good work and hope to see more videos about the Macan 👍
I found that the 111 point check even had a section for the transfer case condition and operation. Thing is though when cold the gear changes are smooth so even if it had a problem it would have not picked it up. That's why your dealership probably didn't pick up your cars problem because they may have tested it when cold.
@@DownShiftThrottle Wrong. You should get put off by the brand. They knew about the transfer box and now YOU have to pay for their engineering mistakes.
great vid, i went looking to buy a used Macan and between 2 and 3rd gear i was hearing and feeling that same symptoms also at low rpm the car jerks hard forward randomly and the crazy thing the dealership were asking over the average price lol i just ran away hahaa
Sorry to hear that you've had problems. There is nothing worse than having a new car and then having issues with it. Glad it's sorted now though hope you can now enjoy the car properly.
I bought a 2018 Porsche Macan GTS and after driving it for 100miles it started jerking when accelerating. Then it started giving me all these codes like Rear gear fault and skipping gears. It’s at the dealership now so let’s see what they come back with
99% of the time its due to traffic in low speeds, the car shifts way too often and does not get enough air to cool the box which fries it, put it in manual mode and sport which helps with cooling and stop it from shifting too often, kinda stupid for a Porsche at this price point. The dsg "that's right its not a pdk by zf" in the macan is also known for having valve body issues, like other s4 and s5's. What's worst is that porsche does not want to repair these, only replace them which is the reason for ridiculous prices besides the porsche tax, they quoted me 20k for my 2017, had done by a shop for 5k
I have a 2015 Porsche cayenne 3.0 diesel and I have similar problems, the car revs alot at low speed feels like the clutch is slipping but it's auto. And the car jerks quite a bit at low speed. I'm not sure if the transfer case is going. And I have 180000kms on the clock.
My 2016 Macan Turbo 60100 miles was due to go in to have the transfer case replaced (Have been waiting for over a month for space to fit it in) but the 4 wheel sensors went the day before and so had to be taken on the back of a lorry to Exeter, they have replaced the transfer case but are saying that the 4 wheels sensors failing has nothing to do with the transfer case failing! Seems a bit of a coincidence, has anyone else had this issue with all 4 sensors going? They told me it was fine to carry on driving it and I love my Macan btw!
I've asked the question to Porsche UK and they have confirmed that all new Macan's from 2018 onwards are fitted with the revised transfer box design. All Macan's that are having these replaced are also being replaced with the newer design transfer box.
Nice video. This is happening to my 2016 Macan S right now. What code did it give you on the dash? Was it something like "Transm fault Poss. No R gear Drive on poss"
Thanks for noticing, I have a problem with vocals where I cannot pronounce my V's and W's and haven't been able to since I was a kid. I'm not ashamed of it and I do try. But it's always encouraging to try harder when a get a comment like this! 👍🏽
Hello, good video. One question, by any chance do you have the reference number of the new transfer case? I have a 2014 Macan Turbo and it no longer has that warranty and I have to buy it independently but I don't want to make a mistake buying another of the defective model.
This transfer case problem on these cars actually stopped me from buying one. It is too much money to spend on a car knowing the tranfer case is going to fail.
@@DownShiftThrottle hey bro I’m about to buy a Macan with 70k on the clock I called Porsche they said the transfer case would of been replaced by now u think this is true ?
Should have been changed by now but you can always ask any Porsche Dealership to check the history and warranty work on the car.....even if buying private
I know three people , one who works for BMW ...who needed their engines replaced .... Entire engines replaced ...on brand new cars ....I'd say BMW is about the worst you can buy ..
Good vid, but FYI: Porsche is pronounced POR-SHA, not PORSH. Ask Ferdinand Porsche, he knows how to pronounce his own name. Just sharing with you so that your POR-SHA videos are more credible!
In the UK they pronounce it as "Porsh" - they say that "Por-Sha" is a girl's name. Regardless, if you watched the whole video, he actually did pronounce it as "Por-Sha"; which is a girl's name.

Thought I'd do a quick vid. Sure some people would find it useful and informative
This was a super helpful video and as a result Porsche was very quick to service our transfer case box on a Macan S!

Great explanation mate. Great work 👍🏼
Thank you. Hope you found it useful
Not just the Macan’s the Cayenne’s had lots of transfer case failures.
That's true! Quite a few of them
part number ?

hello, I have the same problem today on my macan porch, did you find the problem?
Nice Job great explanation
My 2016 Macan Turbo 60100 miles was due to go in to have the transfer case replaced (Have been waiting for over a month for space to fit it in) but the 4 wheel sensors went the day before and so had to be taken on the back of a lorry to Exeter, they have replaced the transfer case but are saying that the 4 wheels sensors failing has nothing to do with the transfer case failing! Seems a bit of a coincidence, has anyone else had this issue with all 4 sensors going? They told me it was fine to carry on driving it and I love my Macan btw!
I think the 2 are unrelated. The transfer box is a mechanical part with moving gears. Sensors can fail all the time
Hopefully this problem does not happen to the newer 2021 and 2022 Macans.
I've asked the question to Porsche UK and they have confirmed that all new Macan's from 2018 onwards are fitted with the revised transfer box design. All Macan's that are having these replaced are also being replaced with the newer design transfer box.
I regret buying the car 🥲, I miss my old Lexus
Previous owner might beat the hell out of it.
Nice video. This is happening to my 2016 Macan S right now. What code did it give you on the dash? Was it something like "Transm fault Poss. No R gear Drive on poss"
I had no codes other than the symptoms only. Yours is definitely easier to diagnose if you got error codes.

our Macon just broke down because of the transmission

@@DownShiftThrottle but too bad our warranty just ended. I was wondering if transfer case and transmission are similar things.
That's sad to hear. No the transfer case is separate to the gearbox

Shouldn't have to worry as it's a covered under a global warranty.
