    2022 Turbo - Yellow Battery Warning

    Interesting. Mine (UK) is having a battery module replaced at a Porsche dealership. I am pretty sure it is where I left it as it shows on the app. I imagine using an independent will also save someone some money somewhere. Apparently it is a 30 hour repair

    Intelligent Octopus Go

    I asked Andersen who said no. Same response as you. I don't think it is on the Octopus list of compatible chargers

    failed on board charger. advice please

    Advise them of the problem with your village and take them the car now. They might fix it sooner if it is sitting there. I was away for 2 weeks soon after my first heater packed up and just left it with them. They sorted it while I was away

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

    That is ridiculous! This sort of thing will kill Porsche as most normal people will not buy a car that has the potential for the sort of bills we are seeing when they realise what they are letting themselves in for. Do you have an extended warranty? Or is that irrelevant because the part has...

    Yet another electrical system error - ARB6 software in action?

    Mine had the yellow electrical error come up last week. No issues driving the car - all appeared well. Went to Porsche today. Has a single cell fault reporting aging apparently. Cell 19. Needs to be replaced. I have been quoted 2 weeks. It is a 30 hour repair 😱. Presumably at a cost to someone...

    Tyre brand for Taycan - poor longevity with current

    Apologies. I have 20in wheels and didn’t check the 21s. Maybe they only do 20s

    Tyre brand for Taycan - poor longevity with current

    Yes they are. Mine certainly are. Search on Blackcircles - there is an NF0 version

    Tyre brand for Taycan - poor longevity with current

    Michelin PS4 are a safe bet. I have had Pirelli Cinturato and the Michelins which are much better. More even wear

    Yet another electrical system error - ARB6 software in action?

    Quick question for anyone who has had the red circle of death. When did it come on? Was it when you got in and the car started? Does it ever come on while driving? My reason to ask is that I now have the yellow electrical system warning. Might it die on me while driving or will it probably get...

    Zappi charger stuck at 1.4 kw

    There is a setting in the Zappi that limits the maximum charge rate. It is buried somewhere in the menu accessed on the front of the machine and limits the amps it can use. It sounds like that is set low

    Bulging tyre, another pothole victim….

    The positive with it being a new tyre is that at least you will only have to replace that one and not both fronts due to the tread difference. PITA though

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues

    Indeed prices have gone up. I paid £3000 for 3 years in November. It is now £3450 which is about €4000. So cheaper in the UK for some reason. It was another £450 (approx) for the recovery service for 3 years

    Navigation re-booting after 3 minutes

    No I hadn’t. Thanks. Looks like I have some reading to do but the initial update on the first post suggests I will end up with a new PCM😱. Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. Probably bad. But presumably covered under extended warranty 🤞

    Navigation re-booting after 3 minutes

    This is the moment it re-boots. Takes about 30 seconds to come back up

    Navigation re-booting after 3 minutes

    Problem started at the weekend when I went on a trip. Set the sat nav only to notice that it had lost its route. Then noticed it was re-booting after about 5 minutes. If no destination is set then the maps work fine. But if I set a destination then after about 3-4 minutes the map freezes then...

    Insurance in UK

    Not for my Porsche. But my son ended up claiming when he crashed his Fiesta. They were very good. Honestly couldn’t fault them. Gave him a good price when they wrote it off such that he could replace it. A lot more than could have sold it for

    12v Locked and Needs Replacement - anyone paid out of pocket for it

    No… but I recall cost of the battery being about £1000. Plus fitting/coding to car - likely another £1000. So maybe $3000? Nothing would surprise me with these cars

    Odd behaviour of the forum website

    Hi. Anyone else get this? I usually view the forum on my iPad and open new tabs in the background. More recently I am having a preview of the text in tabs that I have opened appear and block my view of some topics. The only way to clear it is to reload the page. Happens in Safari and Edge so I...

    Andersen EV Chargers and their reliability. Is the company on the brink of bankruptcy for the second time

    The latest version will integrate with the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff directly. I was wondering if you can now do this with new insides to your device or whether it is the same as the original and won’t integrate with Octopus?
