On the bright side without heating your water will be fresh and your ferroros won’t melt.

Every crisis is an opportunity a wise man said.

Urology not my expertise. I am more into fractures and joint replacements.

Are you a gynecologist? Or do I have to give your name another interpretation ?

The user name is from my teen years.... You are barking up the right tree though. ? ?

Update from my previous post in this thread: my Oct 2020 Taycan 4S (25k miles) has been in the shop since last week. Heard from the dealer today: they diagnosed and ordered the high voltage heater, but apparently Porsche canceled the order and told them the part was being re-engineered. No ETA. But this would seem to confirm that this is a widespread issue, and that Porsche is now aware of it and acting on it.

Good news: once fixed, I’ll now feel more confident in the permanence of the fix. Bad news: I guess I’m in this loaner Panamera for a while…

So that's the answer.....
Faulty part / design.

New design to fix problem - so it sounds like all current cars are at a potential risk of failure.

Further update - Wrong part fitted/arrived, the correct part has to come from Germany and won't be in till Tuesday/Wednesday next week, can't get a courtesy car till next Friday (and that was after a tantrum because it was originally the middle of feb) so I've got the car back with no heating till next Friday, and didn't have the car for 2 days while this was discovered.

Thank goodness I got 3 ferrero rocher and a bottle of fizzy water to compensate.

Joy ?

Further update - Kids ate the chocolates and the water has gone flat.

On the car, called yesterday to make sure the part had arrived and that I was okay to bring it in today, " Err, yes, yes that's fine.............let me just double check!" (1 min pause) "Actually no, no it's not arrived"

So after some foaming at the mouth it's booked in Thursday, almost 3 weeks driving a car with no heating in a Scottish winter, brilliant.

And how do you manage? Heated seats and steering wheel? Can you clear the windows?

Yes basically; to be honest you'd be surprised at how much the seats alone can heat you, wearing a jacket obviously, but I work on/off construction sites so have a few layers on and some thick socks anyway.

Only benefit is my range has increased by 10-15%!

Mine stopped heating recently but they just replaced the heater unit right away. So I Wonder if I just got another faulty one. Well I just hope these temperatures rise soon and I’ll leave the heater issue for my future self in November ?

Further update, car went in last Thursday to have the valve fitted, guess what!? The heater has gone completely, no idea when I'm getting it back.

I've a lovely warm Macan in the mean time, so they can keep it till it's fixed!

As a side note, crikey how expensive it fuel, £90 burned so far, I usually charge for free at work!

Has anyone gotten any updates? My car's heater broke in January and my dealer ordered the part but it has no ETA and it has been quite cold here in Colorado....

 

[EVie]

So last week, my car just suddenly stopped blowing any heat out of the A/C. I called my local service center today and they will look at it on Monday 2/21/22. It sounds like this is a common issue with a long wait time for the part and repair. UGH....... crossing my fingers.

My part came in Wed and the car is in the shop today getting it swapped out. Hopefully they get everyone's cars fixed soon.

My part ("high voltage heater") came in earlier this week and I was expecting to get my Taycan back today - but apparently now they're ordering some sensors as well. Hoping others have better luck - this loaner Panamera is fine, but it's sure no Taycan...
