Cabine heating only working on one side

[ben1]

I look like the cabine heating in my Taycan is partially broken. I get warm air on the driver side and cold air on the passenger side.
Did anybody experience this before ?

I find it surprising that it can be broken only on 1 side. I would assume there is one common heater. It should either work on both sides or not at all.
I do get airflow on both sides, so the fans do work.

Does anybody know how the cabine heating actually works ?

Sounds like an issue with the valves that control how much heat each side of the car gets. Heater is definitely not broken. Take it in for service.

I was also thinking about that. Thanks for confirming you are thinking the same.
Have a nice weekend.

Thanks, you too. I hope your car gets fixed quickly.

Just got my car back from Porsche and discovered that the driver's side is blowing cold air regardless of what temperature is set. Sounds just like your issue - how did you get it resolved?

Do you get warm air somewhere? If you get only cold air everywhere, the heater is broken.

About the problem I had:
It did not happen when the car was in the garage. So they could not reproduce the problem.
They cleaned and lubricated the valves and vents.
It did not happen again since then.

I've already had a replacement heater when I only got cold air coming out of the vents. This time it's only cold on the driver's side - hot air comes out of the passenger air vents. Sounds like the valves need a bit of oil!
