Quite a few months have passed so thought I'd post an update. I've been in contact with the "Principle" at the dealership to talk over the problems and explore options. I was given a buy-back option but the amount wasn't great, and I feel didn't factor in all the grief since day 1. I was going to bite the bullet and then this chap suddenly left, including his second in command, at least on this topic. So I've escalated this to Porsche GB as the troubles have just continued. So in addition to the original list (and updates), in nice purple bold.
- Passenger screen faulty on day 1
- Software issues, bluetooth issues, mostly fixed with updates
- 4 Recall notices
- Airconditioner stopped blowing
- Buzzing noise (booked in 4 times! Still an issue). Eventually managed to find it's coming from mode selector and responding to vibrations coming through the steering wheel. Still ongoing...
- Spare key went flat after 3 months, then 2 months later, then 3 months after that, and so on (booked in each time). Swapped with main key, and the problem sticks with that particular key. This was eventually resolved over 5 attempts, including dealership booking the car in for 2 days and forgetting to order the part (they told me afterwards)
- Heater fails (out of commission for 3 months!) required heater unit replacement, scratches to dash following (they have repaired the scratches)
- Airconditioning fails, required 8 servos replaced
- Airconditioning stopped blowing again (20 April - 2 months after last fix). Carried out flap motor learn
- Camera / Roof Console (against the windscreen) rattles constantly (developed since windscreen removed to address above servo/heater replacement)
- Brakes squealing excessively. This isn't the whine a lot of people get (I get that too), or the odd squeak when braking (normal too), but a loud squeal-stop-squeal-stop-squeal-stop as the wheel turns while driving (not braking) at anything up to about 30 MPH
- Noted during recent service (at a different Porsche dealership) that 3 tyres are NF0, 1 is NA0. They have said that Taycans should be NF0, and 911's should be NA0 rated. Reviewed camera footage (I always video as have had damage done by the Porsche Centre before) and they have always been that way. Also note local dealer has always had them as NF0 on inspection reports (so those reports aren't very thorough!). That's going to be another fight!
- Noted during recent service that OSF Brake Pipe Flexi is twisted. Been quoted 165 to get that fixed, but I really think that should be covered by Porsche as I've certainly never removed the calipers (which is apparently how they can become twisted in the first place, watch out for the pipe positioning when refitting).
