Piston Failure- No 2 piston small crack on top

Asked by Flip1130 Aug 17, 2018 at 04:35 AM about the 2011 Porsche Cayenne

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello. My Cayenne diesel has 130000 km on clock.
Bought new and with complete Porsche service record.
Injectors are OK.
Do you know of similar problems in the VW group with these 3 litre diesel
engines to strengthen my hand negotiating with Porsche. Their only option is
complete short block replacement - extremely expensive.
Engine had a small miss. They had me paying for a engine control unit
upfront, but that did not solve the problem and after 30 days - new diagnose
is the one piston cracked.
Any suggestions?
