2004 cayenne turbo
 

hello

I have a 2004 cayenne turbo with 200000 km
the vehicle ran nice when I test drove it and loaded it onto
the trailer to bring it home

I started it up on the trailer to unload it and the air oil separator failed sucking the oil out of the engine and hydrolocking the engine .

the vehicle now needs a new engine.

has anyone heard of this?

I have not heard of that happening other than your report. But didn't the 996 cars have some AOS issues? Your case sounds pretty extreme.
