Hello just bought a 4 month old GT4 Clubsport from Italy arrived with totally flat battery. Re charged but cannot switch on the ESC or TC . The warning light in the instrument cluster just says it's not working anyone any ideas what the problem could be ?
Not really enough information but are you getting a failure message or won't it turn on? You have to hold the button down for quite a long time to deactivate/activate, certainly longer than others as a precaution against accidental disablement.Stuart Carr said:

This is a common error message in Porsches after a flat battery or battery change. Just go for a drive and it will reset?Stuart Carr said:

Hi Stuart, good to meet up and chat yesterday. Here are a couple of pictures from the day...

I hope you get the car sorted, looks like a lovely piece of kit.
Has anyone else experienced damage to their wheel centres? All four of mine are scruffy having lost paint to some extent. I doubt that it is stone chips (2k miles, no obvious 'chips anywhere else) and I've never jet washed the car or used any form of wheel cleaner. I thought I'd just buy a set until I discovered that they're £48 EACH! So now I am going to try to get them replaced under warranty and thought I'd ask here if other owners have the same issue.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Just picked up a GT4 from Porsche East London yday ( it had 60miles on the clock and pretty much specked up with everything I would have picked apart from some cosmetics. Previous owner had not even removed the protective film Porsche places on the pedals).
What an amazing car! I immediately took it for a quick 120 mile ride around Epping Forest and further north on the B184 and was that a treat! Sounds fantastic, handles like nothing I've ever driven, makes you feel so special and the manual shift is just so so sweet! I paid over list but definitely worth the premium (well IMO, I have noticed some ppl here get touchy in these forums)!
The car turned heads everywhere I drove it and some people even came to take pictures of it on the petrol station.
A lot of people saying its quiet but I am not exactly sure compared to what - a jet engine possibly. For me the sound is supreme and in fact the difference between the sound inside and outside the car is very substantial. That is a huge plus as I plan to take it on a few long trips and a very load exhaust note in the cabin does tire you out after 2h or more. Outside, with the exhaust valves open, the engine produces such a great sound - and very loud!
Any other GT4 owners around East London give me a shout for a ride.

Well is no one doing anything to their cars ?
have a thread bump on me :-) and lets see what you guys have planned.
I have had a full race geo done, new adjustable rear toe links to allow the geo.
Have a box arrived today with some AWE side window wind diffusers to fit (Porsche need to fix the buffeting on their cars as you cannot drive with the window open ever !!!) and just had the car fully stickered up for that Summer GT look and treated myself to a short private plate.
Went for Spoiler full end plates and not just a side sticker as imo I think the black satin full cover looks quite cool.
Wing logo ,well it's a GT car may as well go the whole hog. GT4 in the side scoops and of course the Side stripe.
