'08 Cayenne S HVAC blower is a VW part

The HVAC blower in my '08 Cayenne started making a loud noise and vibrating, which seems like a common problem as these vehicles age. The OEM Porsche part 955-572-342-02 shows a retail price of $750.27, and even the online Porsche dealers selling parts at a discount only took off 10%. From watching a couple of YouTube videos and searching for aftermarket parts, it looked like the Cayenne, Touareg and Q7 all share the same HVAC guts. Knockoff replacements are available for under $100, but looked a little sketchy and are made in China. One video showed the replacement being a VW part, so I took a chance and ordered the VW part 7L0-820-021-Q, which retails for about $480, but available online from VW dealers for 25% off. The VW dealer a block from my Porsche dealer got the part in a day, and with no shipping, I still saved about 50% over buying the Porsche part. When the mechanic pulled the old blower out, the VW part stamping on it exactly matched the new one I just picked up. With all the shared parts between the Cayenne and Touareg it definitely pays to do a little research if you want to save on "genuine" Porsche parts
