RoddyT Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Yesterday my wife's 718's fan would not come on & as it was icy and misty on inside of windscreen the car could not be used. After a call to Glasgow OPC she was advised to call our Porsche assist who sent the AA and, as it is a common fault, the AA man asked me to pop the frunk and he removed the cover and the clips from the box which sits in front of the passenger side of the car where he showed me the fan - he then put his hand in and turned the fan - started car and blowers worked! DO NOT have car running when you try this! He said it was his third time doing this yesterday and to run the fan for 5 minutes. No problems this morning. Strange thing is my 718s was fine - I told my wife that this was because it is faster.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMA Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Yep, a common problem on the 981 and 981s too. You would have thought they had fixed it on the newly produced cars by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Daniel Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 It was suggested to me by Porsche Bolton to run the fan on de-mist for a few minutes each week, so I now always do this backing out the garage and have not had the fan stick again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GulNawaz Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I had the same issue last year, if you can some pics or a video on how to fix the issue yourself that would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
