None at all so far. The only thing I noticed is that the brakes on the Macon GTS I had overnight were way better, much nicer feel than the Taycan which I think I'd gotten used to over time

Is it normal for the brake pedal to travel quite a bit before anything happens?

Finally got mine booked in despite no call back when I logged it via MyPorsche.

18th October (17th being the earliest). Crikey

Finally got mine booked in today, was offered end of Nov if they collect and deliver. First courtesy car was Dec 11th, went for that just in case there were problems doing the work. Seems a long time away...

Not on mine. Brake feel is good.

No, though mine felt like it did the last time i drove it. Maybe psychosomatic with all the recall stuff going on. But when i applied the brakes, the car almost felt like i was pressing the brake and accelerator pedal at the same time.: It felt like the car was resisting/pulling against the braking. Pedal travel felt longer too.

5 weeks before my recall. If it keeps doing it, porsche assistance can have it.

Ever since I saw a leak was a possibility I have been checking the brake fluid level daily.
Mine is due to go in tomorrow and it is a 2 to 3 hour job so I will wait.

Hmm, just checked my brake fluid reservoir after slightly odd feeling brakes last time out. How visible is the fluid in the reservoir as I'm not sure i can see any through the opaque white plastic. There's a little yellow sieve/filter under the filler cap (which i can't get out) so i can't look down through it.

I can’t see the level but if I flip the lid I can see that it’s filled up to the filter. I would hope if it was lower I would be able to see the level.

There should be a warning once it’s low too.

Yes, it does kind of look like the bottom of the filter is wet. Hopefully it is!

In mine the level is about 5 to 10mm above the bottom of the strainer.

Mine was completely filled to the filler cap when I checked it.

So evidently it wasn't the hoses at fault.

The car had failed to brake at a junction. The pedal went right down and it juddered like Abs kicking in. It eventually braked and a warning light came up -
PSM fault - park vehicle safely. Called Porsche Assist

When it went in, they said it wasn't the hoses and couldn't find any other fault....but the parking brake needed adjusting (£240). Hoses were also changed.

It felt fine since and before - just that single incident......which was nerve racking at a give way onto a main road.

My car had its brake pipes replaced yesterday.
All went well but unfortunately couldn't avoid one of the many potholes on my favourite road going there because of traffic and we are going on holiday tomorrow, so £360 for a new front tyre in a hurry
The tyre isn't losing pressure but the carcass is damaged.

Yes, however, they do have a "software update" that they can apply to the brakes themselves that can fix it. I read and asked porsche about it. Requested it for my car, which is in service. Let's hope it actually does something.

 

[Bennachie]

These are CTs getting hoses now? The CT hoses have been in short supply...............good news.
