Dear Members,
I have an unsolved mystery with my 2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, 957 and I need an urgent solution.
When I turn on the engine and select the sport mode, the selector light comes on and the suspension goes down and the Porsche flies like a rocket, but driving about half a km the sport mode switches off alone and a sign of FAILURE SPORT MODE appears in the dash then the car returns to normal drive. Now, if I stop and turn off the engine and start it again, the sport mode once again is activated but driving a few blocks, it is deactivated alone. I currently live in Santiago, CHILE. I took the car to Porsche Dealer service in Santiago and they told me that the problem is a defective air suspension selector (SWITCH) and that it should be replaced, bearing in mind that no code has appeard on the scanner, so they did at an expensive price. Now, with the new selector, the problem remains the same. Once again I am back to the dealer. No new scanner codes appeared, so this time they told me that the problem lays in the suspension module and need to be replaced in which they did at also a very costly price. After replacing the suspension module I drove my car with the sport mode on and it only took few blocks before the sport mode disconnected alone and the (Failure Sport Mode) sign appeared once again. No mechanic in Chile seems to know the problem and the Porsche Dealer keeps on only guessing on my expences I do not know where else to go except seeking help to this mystery.
I really trust that you people can help me with this problem ASAP.
PS: Please bear in mind that the rest of the suspension level switch is working normal.
