Engine control error

[whitex]

Apparently if they cannot replicate it, they cannot ask Porsche to pay for the repair in this case, given that this type of fault can be caused by many things. This os what the SA told me.

Can you replicate, scan the car with one of the OBD (or the free Ethernet one, $10 cable needed) scanners to get the codes, then drive straight to the dealer to tell them to scan the car, save the faults? I foudn the fault codes to show the same ID in PIWIS as they do in other scan tools.

I just went out looking for it and boom! First day of having the car. Porsche spent 2 weeks with it… Normal drive mode, recuperation on (I always use this), and around 30mph gradually floor the throttle. Took a few tries until it hit.

What they did was clear the codes first, test drive it once, it didn't come up and the rest of the time your car was parked on the lot

Lol. I wish that were the case. I can see 120 miles logged in the app while it was out for service, across a few days that is.

Scan it again tomorrow, if errors still show up, take the dealer up on the “no appointment service visit” to pull the new fault codes. They obviously know they are new, since they just cleared them.

Well they used it as a grocery getter for a few days then
Anyway, good luck! Now there is a fresh fault, so put your foot down.

Back into service, out with a loaner Macan base this time.. Spoke with the tech supervisor and mentioned likely both motor power electronics will be replaced (I guess the inverters). Bill will likely be around 20k, damn..

Yikes. Warranty though, right?

Bill to you or Porsche warranty?

Thankfully yes

Porsche pays. Which got me thinking about the amount of money they’ve hemorrhaged on these cars.

It’s a real shame. I don’t want anything ICE, and I don’t want to leave Porsche.

But I’m really, really unhappy with the way they are handling repairs on this car.

This could be the answer to all your desires:

You may need to ask for a raise at work though.

Update: The power electronics arrived a couple of days ago, but now they are waiting on new screws.. and 1 battery related part (I guess because the battery needs to be removed). This last part will take a while, because it’s coming from Germany….

Picked up the car today, and man I’m glad I’m back in it, it’s been missed. It feels as good as always. Attached work sheet.
