Wing misalignment

[Dee]

Hi guys,
Since a few days my wing doesn't align properly anymore.
First it was about a mm but never bothered much about it, 'till now.
It looks like it's lowering itself step by step, now almost 5mm...
Has anyone here experienced this too?
My car is from 04-2020.
I already contacted my dealer and I'm waiting for an appointment.

Yes. But mine has been like this from day one.

It is booked in shortly to have this resolved. The hope is that new wing mechnical components get rid of the droop.

Seemingly it only affects early cars. Other early cars at the OPC appeared to have the same issue. Newer cars did not.

Just noticed that service campaign WLG6 contains a procedure for teaching the rear spoiler at the end of the process. Have you all had this software upgrade? Maybe the spoiler hasn’t been taught the stow position properly?

Hi Dee,

Did your dealer resolve the wing misalignment? I have exactly the same problem after just over 3 months ownership (07/20 delivery). It has depressed substantially in the middle, and one corner is sticking out a fair bit.

I have an appointment on the 19th November.

Thanks. I'll be getting in touch with the dealer later this week, but they seem to have a couple of months backlog at the service department

Got it back today and it's absolutely perfect!
Great service!

Do you know what they did, is it aligned by PIWIS or mechanically? Mine needs doing too

Anybody with a 4s still just have the rear spoiler only raise in range mode? Not hating it, just curious if a software update fixes this or maybe it’s just a thing.

It also raises in Sport Plus/Individual.

Mechanically.

Mechanically.

Glad they solved it. Need the same.

JFYI: In Germany, there was a recall due to a problem with the spoiler, apparently a bolt or screw that may come lose.

Thanks, good to know

Hello everyone.

Our Taycan 4S also has a problem with the spoiler. If I understand correctly, the spoiler should unfold above a certain speed, and an icon will appear in the instrument cluster.

However, in sport mode, the icon never appears, so it seems that the spoiler is not working properly. Could this be related to a setting in the PCM, or will we have to go to the dealer for this? All ideas and experiences are welcome!
