  1. Thanks Greenman, that's what I thought, it all happened after I turned the key on a nearly flat battery and had all the relay chattering etc. A day on the CTEK sorted the battery but the faults never went away. Even the AA man was perplexed.

    The tempting thing is Portsmouth are going to look at it and lend me a Macan for a couple of days (I have a Macan S on order from them) so I wouldn't mind a free loan of the litre Macan as comparison for later. It's worth the drive down to Portsmouth and leaving the warning up for a couple more weeks as no harm will be done.

    My works vehicle (Boeing 787) can reset it's own fault messages and since there are no OBD flags, I wonder why the car hasn't reset itself if no fault actually exists.

  2. Mine just failed with both PASM and PADM faults showing after a problem starting due to flat battery. I charged up the battery and the faults were displayed even before I moved the car.

    I called Porsche Assist who sent an AA man within 30 mins who could see no faults on the OBD but the lights remained. The strange thing was he asked whether I'd ever had a problem with the cabin fan (I had) as this was common on this car.

    I checked later with my own OBD and no faults shown but the two warnings still present on the dash. Booked into Portsmouth to fix under warranty. I'd only asked for a quote for warranty renewal 3 days earlier and wondered whether Porsche were able to send the fault over the ether so I'd sign up for a renewal.

    Having never heard of this issue, an internet search reveals all. A bit like the blower fan which another OPC denied ever hearing of and would only replace it if it displayed the fault at time of presenting it to them. Some firm words got it changed under warranty and hopefully a better experience awaits for fixing this fault.

    Is the dual PASM/PADM warning common?

    Looking good👍

    Went car shopping with my friend today and saw this beautiful 993 and thought of you.

    They had some nice stock 👌

     

     

     

     

    I love that 993, but not the £108k price tag for a non turbo. Clearly somebody does though since they’ve taken a deposit on it over this weekend.

    Keir Chappell runs a good business, I bought my last Boxster 987S from him a while back and sold it last year ..
