Porsche Cayenne 2005 FAQs

Does the air suspension in the 2005 Porsche Cayenne S fail over time?

Any vehicle with air suspension can suffer failures of this technology, especially if they’ve been used hard in an off-road setting (which the original Cayenne was very well suited to). The good news is that air suspension failure should be relatively easy to spot as the car will settle into its lowest position if the suspension is letting the air out, say, overnight.

For the record, this generation Cayenne was only fitted with air suspension if you bought either of the turbocharged versions (the Turbo and Turbo S). The entry level Cayenne S was fitted with entirely conventional steel springs.

Other things to watch out for are coolant leaks from the plastic plumbing under the intake manifold while big, heavy, powerful cars like the Cayenne can be hard on tyres and brake pads. So check those things still have some life left in them, or budget for replacements.
