Always a good day when a Porsche shows up in a video. The Cayman with the aftermarket turbo kit was a fun series…for us viewers anyway.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIO6_Mb_4yI&t=1513">25:13</a> just FYI that looks like the labor time quote screen format from AllData. It's not from Porsche's internal system. <br><br>Transfer case failure very common on the early Macan. We were replacing 2-3 a week at a small market dealer. Bigger markets were prob doing 10-15 a week. The issue was determined to be water getting inside the weep hole and contaminating the oil. Sometimes fresh fluid would do it, sometimes too much damage had been done to save the t-case. They later added a breather tube with an elbow so water couldn't get inside.

I can't really think of another channel that gives the breakdowns of the breakdowns with the solutions and paths to work-arounds that actually work like this channel. Thanks Sam.
