My Smart Lift feature has completely disappeared.
I can still manually lift, but it no longer offers to save the location, and it never auto lifts either.
I saw some people say rebooting the PCM fixed this after taking an online update. I don’t have a reboot gesture on J1.2 - anyone else?
Had a similar experience on a 911. Those fibrous covers are cheap, like $300. Worth it to swap them out IMO and the tech can eyeball the guts while doing it.
I wouldn’t claim insurance for this personally, not worth a bad carfax.
Bought the car with 115 miles on it. Brakes made noise. On examination pads and rotors were cooked and cracked. Heat marks on the calipers etc.
Examined window sticker and noted it was delivered to a PEC in Atlanta.
Selling dealer made me (partially) whole with PCNA. They never admitted...
Persistence on my side, and skilled techs on Porsche’s side.
For the initial brake scraping issue, Porsche Los Gatos told me it was normal.
I knew it was not, and got a second opinion. The excellent tech at Porsche RWC immediately diagnosed the underlying problem.
For the hissing sound...
If anyone is looking for this sound - it turned out to be a damaged wheel bearing and a spinning nut on a control arm. Both replaced and the car finally sounds as it should.
I blame the track abuse.
Happy to report the metallic hiss that has plagued me since I bought this car is resolved at last.
Took it for a highway spin tonight and it's finally as it should be.
Got her back! Traffic was too heavy to confirm the fix, but I feel good about it.
Tech also replaced a control arm because apparently a nut was spinning freely on one of them.
Well to be fair I’m at 5700 or something now, and AFAIK the wheel bearing IS covered.
Will find out when I pick it up. I’m just happy it’s getting fixed as the noise really ruined the car.
Sure didn’t! I thought it was a press car.
Brake scraoing noise led me to get it diagnosed and the tech showed me the trashed pads and rotors, heat marks on the calipers, etc.
After that got fixed, a noise at speeds > 65mph remained from the front left wheel which I now know to be a bearing...
I’ve been chasing this since I got my car, a 100 mile CPO which turned out to be track abused.
My brakes were cooked and I’ve been chasing a hissing noise over 60mph ever since. Like you it sounded exactly like a dragging pad or brake wear indicator.
It has been diagnosed as a wheel bearing...
