Faulty sensor - had same on my white one. Simply replacement under warranty. Car still drivable but get them to pick the car up on transporter, Porsche arranged that. You will have the fan constantly on to cool the car sounds like a hovercraft!!
(If your old enough to know what that is?)

Thanks buddy.
If its okay to drive to Reading OPC then I will do that.

Yes. I remember hovercrafts and your quite correct it sure did sound like one.

Cheers.

Been given the okay to still drive it as long as the warning prompt does not go to red instead of the yellow. But driving it with the fans in overtime all the time, seems not quite ideal.

Anyway, booked at Reading OPC for Jan 8th..

I've had the same, 8th Jan, get Porsche Assist to collect with a transporter and it will be fixed straight away plus you will get a courtesy car. I'm on the phone to Porsche assist for any issue

All fixed at Reading guys. Replaced a thermostat and some valve thingy between the engine and drive train, thinking of calling them to clarify what the part was. On pick up I can say that she seem to have more grunt coming home on the M4 and appeared to have a more aggressive exhaust growl. Any ideas guys, I'm no mechanic, sorry.

Glad to see you got it fixed; which OPC ?
maybe a full 'reset' made a difference to the feel of the car ?

Reading OPC. Also like the way they checked my cars condition on hand over to stop any implications on pick up..
