Hi
I have a 2020 taycan Turbo.
I only notice this at slow speeds, but there's a thudding (thud...thud...thud) sound from the front of the car which increases in speed in direct relation to the increased rotation of the front wheels as the speed increases. Any ideas what this could be?

Car is going to the dealer in April to look at it's soggy brakes so I'd like them to look at this too

not sure about the noise, but WPK0 campaign helped my "strange" brakes, they are much better now

Maybe check if your front tyres are still perfectly round? There may be a bulge or you may have something stuck in the treads.

I cannot comment with regard thud but with regard your "soggy brakes" I had a similar issue and my local centre resolved with a service visit ,apparently this is quite a common problem ?

I still needed a change of brake fluid during my cars 1st service !

Similar issue that I just got fixed this week. WPK0 campaign for PSM was performed and they bled the brakes. HUGE great change in the braking after this. I had a loaner Macan with under 1,000 miles and after the fix on my car, the brakes felt just like the Macan's.
