  1. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) failure at 4 years 1 month causes expensive repairs

    There is a very familiar thread and there is a Workshop Campaign WNK6 that refers to ‘below specification actuators’. This has caused replacement of specified actuators on the rear OS, rear NS or both. My VIN is not in scope although all the model, variant & PCCB permutations appear to be the...
  2. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) failure at 4 years 1 month causes expensive repairs

    Hi Murph I’m looking into this very carefully. Interestingly the Porsche Warranty covers every component in the car against manufacturing defect. In the UK pre-Sept 2025 extended warranty, there is a defined ‘exhaustive wear and tear list’ for exclusions due to wear and tear. This list has...
  3. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) failure at 4 years 1 month causes expensive repairs

    So that’s how I started. However, in a drum-in-disc electronic parking brake system like the Taycan’s, the parking brake operates using internal brake shoes that press against a cylindrical drum surface formed within the “hat” of the rear brake disc, separate from the outer disc surface used by...
  4. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) failure at 4 years 1 month causes expensive repairs

    Hi, I have an 'in-flight' issue with a Porsche Centre and Porsche GB and would appreciate trading notes with anyone who has had similar. In short: the EPB on my Turbo S Cross Turismo has run out of possible adjustment due to 'wear & tear'. This apparently requires replacement of the EPB...
  5. Battery life & range

    This is a really good question. And this is my thinking… - if you buy extended warranties then you don’t really care - in the UK, Porsche will sell extended warranties until the car is 15 years old or until the car has done 125,000 miles (at the start of the warranty)… whichever happens first...
  6. Battery life & range

    good. And your mileage?
  7. Battery life & range

    Thank you. and no, they didn’t… which surprised me. I received a signed letter/certificate which (I guess) they provide with their approved EVs.
  8. Battery life & range

    I thought I’d share my positive experience and views on battery life. I have a Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo. It was one of the first, registered March 2022, and I’ve done 84,000 miles in 10 countries. in December I asked my dealer to perform an official Porsche SOH assessment on the HV Battery...
  9. Think about buying a Porsche taycan for a daily driver

    90 min drive each way. Fortunately they do the driving. My wife thinks it’s a Friday car. If we lived in the US it would have been replaced under the ‘lemon laws’.
  10. Think about buying a Porsche taycan for a daily driver

    Yes. For warranty repairs: Repeated charging system faults, including: Passenger-side and driver-side charge port failures Charge port door / locking actuator (solenoid) failures (replaced more than once) “Charging door impaired” and “impaired charging” warnings Interrupted and failed AC...
  11. Think about buying a Porsche taycan for a daily driver

    hi I’ve had my 2022 Turbo S Cross Turismo from new. It’s done 80,000 miles in 20 countries and I use it daily. It’s a beast, a real apex predator and comfortable. Feels like 3 cars in 1. Real maintenance costs are low: servicing & tyres. I have extended the warranty (£3,000 for 3 years). This...
  12. Porsche Extended Warranty late 2021 Taycan

    Maybe this is the answer on whether you should get an extended warranty or not…. - will a £5,000+ bill for warrantable repairs cause you a problem (emotional or financial)? If not, then don’t buy the warranty. - has your car had some, many, several warranty claims in the original warranty...
  13. Porsche Extended Warranty late 2021 Taycan

    Hi it’s probably been said before, but: you’d be crazy not to have a Porsche Extended Warranty and if you can afford it, the 3yr version which has the lowest unit cost. The logic is that one warranty repair can save you the warranty cost. I have owned my Taycan since new in March 2022. It is...
  14. Taycan average miles driven over 3 years... what's yours average annual mileage?

    Thanks. I’m retired but on my second family so boys are at high/secondary school so lots of commuting with them over tremendous roads (eg the Cat and Fiddle pass). Best car I’ve had so far, but also the one with the most warranty work (about 30 I’d guess so far). Matt
  15. Taycan average miles driven over 3 years... what's yours average annual mileage?

    hi I have a Turbo S Cross Turismo, registered March ‘22 and just about to break 55,000. That’s over 2,000 a month. It’s been in 9 different countries. I love it and it drives like new. All the best Matt
  16. Public charging in france

    I've driven my Turbo S Cross Turismo 52,000 miles in 2 years in 9 countries including France and never had a problem with the Porsche Charging network. On the few occasions that the Porsche card doesn't work I just use a credit card. FastNed, like Ionity is excellent: fast, starts and remains...
  17. Rear tyre wear

    Hi, I use the OEM Pirelli Zeros on 21">7C and the OEM Pirelli Zeroes M&S on 20" <7C. I've been getting 10-12,000 miles per tyre. My Taycan is a Turbo S Cross Turismo and driven to enjoy (e.g. 52,000 in 2 years in 9 countries). I'd thought this was OK. A bit worse that my previous Audi R8 v10...
  18. 2020 Taycan Turbo S or 2022 Taycan 4S!?

    I have a ‘22 Turbo S with 50,000 miles collected inn8 different countries. Feels exactly the same as the first day. There has not been a single day when it hasn’t made me smile. I’ve driven most other Taycans and I’ve missed the performance. My previous car was an R8 V10 Plus and its...
