On those lines …. - In December my Cayenne was in for a service. They found a nail in the tread of one tyre and an urgent advisory was a tyre replacement. - I knew the tyre wasn’t losing air when I took in, so decided to take it to my local friendly tyre shop to check. The dealer tyre price...

My experience with premature PSCB disc failure is here: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/pscb-service-life-and-replacement-cost.5432/post-416366 My car stood at the dealer for 10 weeks while I wrangled with Porsche about whether delamination of 1 of the 8 coatings was a manufacturing...

Did you or the previous owner ask to transfer the warranty into your name and receive confirmation of this? Note the warranty is transferrable only between private owners. My other guess is whether the service scheduled has been followed/records updated. As mentioned already, accident repairs by...

I’ve used Hull twice and found them v good, helpful and straight (in a minority). Just get them to do it all at the same price. Or, get Halfords to change your Brake Fluid for £50 rather than the Porsche rip off £228.

I also have this. It lasts around one minute then stops. Seems to happen less or not at all in winter. I’ve become used to it. Similarly, usually in winter, sometimes theres a low volume buzz which seems to come from the same area. Starts about 5 minutes into a journey then quickly disappears...

Based on relative production dates and volumes, relative usage, plus the LG failures already, so far Porsche EV warranty claims are unlikely. Tesla started at least a decade earlier. I’m not worried. If it fails beyond economic repair I’ll park it up in the garden for future grandkids to play...

… and sometimes obtaining money by deception (Fraud Act, 2006). E.g. anyone who has paid for an aircon ‘service’, or has followed advice to replace brake pads with 6mm remaining (50% worn).

As I said, reasonable interpretation is required. Consistent and regular ‘abuse’ would have to have occurred for a claim to be reasonably denied. But I’ve previously had to fight a couple of unreasonable warranty term interpretations in the past by Porsche. Hence I’d put the chances of a...

I had to reject my first new Cayenne, but it was all agreed amicably and I negotiated a swap to one with a better spec. When I picked up the first one I noticed a slight scratch on the bonnet. They said ‘we’ll just buff that out’. I then drove the car 300 miles home, arriving in the dark. Next...

The Drivers Manual inside the My Porsche App, or at https://manual.porsche.com/#/wpi/enter/pgroup/vhc:taycan has a section on ‘Charging High Voltage Battery The Porsche Battery Guarantee terms waive liability for the 70% minimum SoH after 8yrs/160,000 km/100,000 if the Owners...

They’ve had multiple fix attempts. Based on Uk Consumer Legislation, seems you have a strong case to reject the car.

Regarding rebalancing, I’ve attached the Porsche procedure used to determine SoH. In summary the steps are: 1) Discharge to 1-2% 2) Idle for at least 6.5h 3) AC charge to 100% 4) Idle for at least 6.5h This is relevant only when purchasing used or where premature degradation is suspected. I’ve...

I also now have this. Key points from the message: Online software update A new online software update is available for installation: High-voltage battery control unit (WST2) This update improves the display and warning concept for the onboard diagnostic function of your high-voltage battery...

Weirdly I also had this yesterday after parking. Drove off and it went away. Hasn’t yet returned. Not seen this before

Air Con If the air con was regassed as a consequence of the heater being replaced under the new car warranty I’d expect that cost to be covered under the warranty. If it was regassed because of low pressure the dealer should determine the source of the leakage. Air con systems do not need...

Standard playbook when profits/share price falls - reduce staff benefits and numbers, replace expensive staff with cheaper less experienced people. Without realistic efficiency plans, those things are not always correlated. Using less expensive and less experienced staff in dealers doesn’t seem...

The Porsche issued procedure for the most accurate SoH measurement. - discharge to 1/2% - idle 6.5h plus - charge to 100% - idle 6.5h plus

The ‘instant check’ accuracy caveat is plus or minus 5% Whether that’s accurate enough for warranty purposes depends on the value & time period
