Diesel Cayenne And VW Emission Issue
My 2014 felt identical (once fully warmed up) post-fix. My 2015 has the throttle dead spot. My 2014 felt identical (once fully warmed up) post-fix. My 2015 has the throttle dead spot. Pretty much same here. 14 is not quite as quick as pre-fix, but pretty much what was described/expected. Pretty much same here. 14 is not quite as quick as pre-fix, but pretty much what was described/expected. Please unpack that for me, a 2015 owner. 5K of the settlement or did the first owner? 5k. I filed for the fix after the fix was approved. They said after the fix was approved, no partial payments. I think the tone of Porsche relative to the fix is very high handed. We signed our rights away when we registered for the fix, and the best time to riot is before we have surrendered our weapons, not after. Part of me says take the money and trade for a Macan Turbo. Part of me says F/U. Don't fix it and drive on hassle free.
10k on less worthy projects than keeping my CD the way I like it. Part of my resistance is that my dealer, Gossett in Memphis, is great but 150 miles away. The multiple trips to the dealer are multiple days for me. 10,000 in a hurry. Who needs the hassle? Part of me says take the money and trade for a Macan Turbo. Part of me says F/U.

If your state do not require emissions then enjoy the car as is. We had one issue with our fixed CD, dealer replaced the EGT's and the cat's.
As far as I can tell, the truck drives fine. I always put it in sport mode before and I still do now. My wife DD's it and she has no complaints. Please unpack that for me, a 2015 owner. Have both a '14 and a '15. The '14 did OK with the fix. As expected and as they said. The '15, however, has the dead throttle on roll-on acceleration. Slow for a red light that changes green before you stop, for example, and hit the accelerator and start counting. Or if you've slowed and need to make a quick lane change to pass; you better have hit the accelerator well before you need to move. If you wait until the apex, you'll get your power (and grip) well after you exit the corner. And of course in all cases, once the power catches up, it hits hard - surges. And it lugs. It always drops to the highest gear it can, so at 35, I'll be in 6th gear at 1050 RPMs with the whole vehicle buzzing because of the lugging.
Or 40 at 1100 in 7th. Anytime it can get that RPM to 1100, it will and you can feel it in the steering wheel, seat and floor. And the surge/transmission slamming together with the engine or whatever the hell is happening. Have both a '14 and a '15. The '14 did OK with the fix. As expected and as they said.

They all seem to take differently to the fix. Porsche doesn't care about any of the symptoms after they pay you, ask me how I know. For those still contemplating the fix, wait as long as you can, then roll the dice. You can PM me if you don't want to post publicly. I do have to add in here, that our unfixed 2015 has always had throttle lag with roll on acceleration. I complained on here about it when we first got it, but I can't find the thread.
