    My Porsche App Vanished from CarPlay

    I had the same issue. Once I connected the phone with the USB cable it came back. Probably a glitch with the latest update

    Large differences in labour rates in Uk OPCs

    My mistake, I misunderstood the radar part from the product info sheet. it must be referring to dash cams built-in radar sensor, not the vehicles sensors.

    Large differences in labour rates in Uk OPCs

    You are right, there are plenty of installers around and I very nearly went an independent installer at first but after calling Porsche GB warranty department and the grey response I received, I just didn’t want to have any issues with the warranty later on and reverted back to porsche. If it...

    Large differences in labour rates in Uk OPCs

    Recently I contacted a few OPCs to get a quote for installing a dashcam on my Taycan. I was surprised to see the variance in pricing. The dashcam price was the same pretty much across the board, the difference was in the labour rate. I was quoted between £890 to £1475 for the front only...

    What options are

    Absolutely echo this opinion, If you drive long distances Inno Drive is a nice upgrade to ACC. If you’re trying to stick to a budget, you can upgrade to Inno drive later on via FOD (function on demand) if you have spec’ed ACC. This may be a good option for you because Porsche often has trial...

    Cooling fan seized

    OPC arranged it but I really didn’t feel confident with their follow up so I called the customer service and pushed as well.

    Cooling fan seized

    Yes. Porsche Customer Services were involved and they covered the full cost of both fans, including labour under Goodwill . I spoke with the service advisor yesterday and they confirmed the new part is modified and basically we should not expect this to happen again.

    Taycan Insurance UK

    That’s a bargain, the lowest quote I had a couple of months ago was for about £1700; ended up with Porsche Insurance for a little more (just over £2000 but for a better coverage). Clean license, 14 years NCD, very safe neighbourhood!

    Cooling fan seized

    I just had the same issue with my car (my car is with OPC now), both cooling fans ceased, and Porsche centre say it’s not covered by warranty but they have asked Porsche GB for goodwill contribution. To me it’s a design flaw, placing the fans exposed to all the road grime is not very smart...

    Dissapointing tacan DC charging

    If you start at a very low SOC you will probably going to see the orange turtle on your dash ( due to overheating). A trick I learned recently is to put your car on Sports Plus, it brings the fan on earlier.

    Charging at Porsche Centres (UK)

    If you register to Porsche Charging service (via My Porsche App) and use the Porsche Charging Card which will be sent to you in post, it’s not too bad. Yes you will have to pay per minute as as well as per KW, but the overall cost is less than half of what you would pay at bp Pulse or Shell...

    Freeze date imminent... Option stress

    I’m sorry I shouldn’t have specifically mentioned 3D; what I meant was the surround view in general. I don’t have it on my car and this is the only disappointing point with my car. There are some useful information on another thread (the one I started with the hope of finding a solution to...

    Freeze date imminent... Option stress

    Thanks for the correction Throb, but if I’m not wrong the sound is different (more pronounced) with the Electric Sport Sound ON.
