    [Dashcam] Viofo A139 Pro 1/2/3CH HDR

    Hi The 12V battery is definitely not an issue (yet anyway, no idea when the battery will be 6 years old). I've left it in low bitrate recording mode for a week while on holidays and it held up fine (albeit it only kept the last 3 days as my sdcard is 256gb). Regarding the starter (booster), I...

    Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance

    Update 18.000km 89.92% Pretty bad. I feel my changed charging habit is making the pack more unbalanced than previously. Two or three months ago I stopped doing weekly charges from 20% to 80% at 50kW in favour of daily charges from 50%-55% to 65-70% on a old 3.2kW at my workplace. Don't...

    Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance

    Here comes my regular 2k km update. KM: 15999 SoH: 90.42% Temperatures have been quite cold (for south Portugal anyway) 11C-20C and lately I've stopped with my weekly "full recharge session" and rather charge "whenever". Basically, I charge when I leave the car at work (3.2kW/h) for 4-5h...

    Chassis Error - Driving possible with adjustments

    It shouldn't... I agree but I've had similar experiences with other brands. I still remember my MB c220 cdi from 2009 with the injector fiasco (ended receiving 5 injector sets over the years) or the stupid key lock pcb shorting out twice (1k € repair each time). That's just an example...

    Chassis Error - Driving possible with adjustments

    Appreciate the comment. Only thing I have to add is that it behaves quite better than before. I'm starting to believe the compressor might have been "slowly" failing for months because one reason that made me customise individual mode to "sport" was the fact that I could "hear" the suspension...

    Chassis Error - Driving possible with adjustments

    Update (hopefully the final one) So yesterday, at closing time, the Porsche Engineer called me. He told me he had about 90% certainty it was indeed the compressor. Apparently the compressor itself wasn't throwing any error but "other" systems on the car were complaining about it (high voltage...

    Chassis Error - Driving possible with adjustments

    Update... So today the Porsche engineer called me in the morning to tell me that there was some electrical error on the compressor but a software reset cleared it and they tested the car and it was fine. They couldn't guarantee it wouldn't pop up again because it was a software thing. If it...

    Chassis Error - Driving possible with adjustments

    Hi all Well I started to talk about this in another thread but it isn't really elegant to mix issues in foreign threads and hijack the conversation so I'm opening a new one. Last Friday I was picking up my kids. While en route, the car displayed a yellow error on the dashboard stating "Chassis...

    PCM Stuck on Porsche screen

    Won't help. I got the WPN8 update back in November. Since then I was presented with the black screen and Porsche logo twice (also had it happen once or twice before the update). One of the times, I actually needed the GPS guidance. Both times it happen when I left the car for a very short time...

    Chassis Error and air suspension failure on MY23 GTS

    No go. Chassis won't go up. Called my local dealer. Will have to activate Porsche assistance on Monday to get the car towed to the shop. UGH

    Chassis Error and air suspension failure on MY23 GTS

    Well, seems I got this error three times today while doing errants around town. Chassis error in yellow showing the shock absorber followed by "drive modes disabled". Let's see if it fixes itself tomorrow after a good night sleep. If not, it will be the first real issue I've had in 10 months...

    Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance

    I did something similar months ago but without the graphs. Just using the python library to access Porsche API and computing the real consumption (which isn't the same as the one posted on the website)

    [Dashcam] Viofo A139 Pro 1/2/3CH HDR

    Yes/no In earlier firmwares (not sure if today it's the same), the camera would sometimes lock up when in motion detection mode. I got fed up really quick. Besides, another unwanted feature is that motion detection detects ANY motion... a leaf shaking in the wind is enough to trigger it so it...

    [Dashcam] Viofo A139 Pro 1/2/3CH HDR

    BTW, in case someone wonders how the 12v battery held during my absence, here's the graph. The red circle marks when I returned and started the car (to make sure it would power on). Overall it seems the internal battery protection system kicked in almost once a day whenever the battery voltage...

    [Dashcam] Viofo A139 Pro 1/2/3CH HDR

    So. Update! After leaving the car and dashcam unattended for 6 full days and nights I have to report the following: 1 - 12v car battery survived without an issue. I lost 1% of the main battery SoC and 15km range which was expected. I had my booster ready for worst case scenario but wasn't...

    [Dashcam] Viofo A139 Pro 1/2/3CH HDR

    Sure. I'm not home right now but will take a couple of pictures tomorrow. Speaking of... This is the first time I left the car unattended with the dashcam operating for 6 days. I'm curious to see if it killed the battery or not. Fingers crossed. Cheers

    How many wheels have you curbed?

    Too many to count to be honest. Have the car for 8 months. I mostly drive in the city and in Europe that usually means narrow streets. All of my curb rashes were while doing tight turns in historic old roads where the car barely fits. After the first incident I rushed to my tire guy to see if...
