Just received a reminder about this recall. Worth it? What changed? How long did the dealer take to complete it. Thanks!

They tried to fix one thing but broke two others. They reinstalled the firmware on a communications module because the phone button on the steering wheel was only working half the time. In the process, they somehow managed to change the speed warning chime to the one used in the Cayenne, and now Android Auto isn't working at all. Since wireless Android Auto requires the car's Wi-Fi hotspot to function, the connection fails because the hotspot has stopped working. We have tried connecting with multiple phones, but nothing works.

Any tips before we take the car back to service for what feels like the 10th time?

FIXED! Resetting the breaker on our L2 worker, even though there was power to the charger (the lights were on but all red), and the breaker wasn't thrown.
I'm being very thankful for everyone's input and not having to tow it 70 miles to a dealership!

Hey all

What’s this constant fan that’s running? I can feel some air by the charging area. It’s fairly loud. AC and fan are both off in climate control. Outside temp is 60 degrees and chilly.

Thanks

When my Taycan has more SOC range than my Macan...something is up.

My 24 Macan 4 range does not match the normal SOC. In recent charging and use of my Macan, the range vs. SOC is off, and actual mixed city driving is *burning* more miles than the range indicates. No yellow or red warning lights on the dash. DC fast charging at ~20% did not receive a rate over 18 kW and took 20 minutes to add 6kWH.

I believe it is a Battery Management (BMS) miscalibration and will attempt a draw down of the battery, rest and recharge. (20% → sit → slow charge to 90% → sit). If that does not resolve, I will contact my local service center to arrange for it to be looked at.

Has anyone else experienced this with their Macan?

TLDR BMS Miscalibration and concern about slow DC fast charging rate.

Upon mixed city driving last night for a 60 mile round trip, my Macan started out with more than enough miles, though reporting to low vs SOC, to cover the trip roughly (65% SOC but only ~100 miles) but once at my destination, I was at less than 50 miles and sitting ate up 3 miles.

Fearing being stranded on my return, I DC Fast charged at a close EA five miles from my location, the trip calc substracted 10 and put me below the 40 mile range. I DC charged for 20 minutes, adding 6kW total, and it never got above 18kW during that whole session.

I made it home, slow highway driving never above 60mph with 31 miles from a 90 mile start estimation.

I picked up a CPO 4S recently and it came with the 1 year of complimentary free charging at EA stations which I just setup. While browsing the other charging networks in the app, I also noticed EVgo stations as being free too ($0.00 rate).

Anyone see this in their app? Google search comes up empty.
