I think there is some type of driveshaft fix that is very common, and I think possibly some sort of plastic hose problem. By 100,000, both of those have probably been fixed already.

I see lots of Cayennes at every DE I go to; folks use them for their tow vehicles. There are several in town here (and I live in a small town)

Rennlist has a pretty big Cayenne forum here:
Rennlist.com

There is also a Cayenne technical articles section at Pelican Parts, similar to the 101 Projects for the Boxster:
Porsche Cayenne Technical Articles - Porsche 955 (2003-2008) | Pelican Parts

Here is one description of the driveshaft issue:
Cayenne Drive Shaft Clamping Bearing Support Mount: Drivetrain &amp Drive Shafts

Edit: I found the pelican article for this issue, don't know why I didn't find it before:

If I didn't already have a Toyota FJ Cruiser I would be looking at one of these, especially after the recent Panorama article about them.

Good luck!
