From 2010 to 2011, the company produced the 3.0-liter Porsche M05.9E diesel engine, which was fitted to the second Cayenne in the 958 body. In theory, it was identical to the M05.9D of the first Cayenne. This power unit was essentially a replica of the CASA engine and was part of the EA896 diesel series.
M05.9E, MCT.BA, MCR.CC, and MCU.DB are Porsche diesel engines.

Disadvantages of the Porsche M05.9E engine
The EA896 line of diesels had a fast-wearing injection pump that just drove chips; however, this unit came at the very end of the series’ release and was a little less problematic;
Swirl flaps and a cooling system tee are the motor’s weak points;
Timing chains frequently stretch after 200,000 kilometers; contamination of the particulate filter and the EGR valve can also be very problematic.
