PCM failure video Panamera Turbo - anyone seen this before?

[ol]

Hi,

Today while driving my 2010 Panamera Turbo at around 65mph, my PCM suddenly flashed up a load of errors, and the car went into a 'limp' mode where it felt very lumpy. I pulled over straight away and turned it off, left it a minute then when I turned it back on it was fine. I drove home (15 miles) and the car was ok and it hasn't happened again.

Has anyone seen this before? Could it be battery related? I took a video when I had pulled off the road before I turned the car off. Here -

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have it booked in with a local porsche specialist tomorrow anyway for a suspension bush, so will get them to have a good look. I definitely want to get it sorted out as I am doing Vmax 200 on Satuday and don't fancy it going into limp mode at 180mph!

Hopefully it will be something somple like battery or coil packs. Either way I'll get to the bottom of it.

Red997 - will do! I presume you'll be in a red 997?! My Panamera is black, or if I can't get it sorted by then I'll be in a grey XKR. See you there

nope - I did have a red 997;
but I'll be there in my black Pana turbo

Great! Will be nice having 2 there. After a bit of Pistonheads stalking it seems yours is running a bit more bhp than mine! Mine is only the 2010. Is yours the facelift? How did you get on when you went before?

Great! Looking forward to it

In other news the car has done it again this morning on the way to taking it to the specialist. It didn't go away when I staryed / stopped it this time so I've left it for a while and about to go and try to rescue it from the side of the road.

I'm at VMAX too guys. See you there!

Your car looks a bit special, look forward to seeing it there.


My issue has been resolved! It was a faulty coil pack. Phew! £40 and a bit of labour / diagnostics.

Do I get a prize ?!

Yes, you get to see how much quicker your car is than a standard Panamera turbo will be interesting to run them together to see how much difference the modifications have made

Well, had a great day at Hypermax. Was good to meet red997 and I was looking out for you IMIA to blag a passenger ride, but never managed to ay hello. I got out into the other 9E with Ozan and we hit 201 GPS which was great.

I'll start a new thread with a couple of videos from the day including the Panamera head to head
