Let's see.

Meanwhile they gave me a glorious Panamera Sport Turismo for the day or two and I now want one. They know what they are doing !
Yep just trade it now, it will save you having to think about a future battery replacement 🤔😂😂

With a Panamera Sport Turismo on loan, I'm sure you'll want the OPC to take their time identifying and fixing the fault :D :D

Got the car back today. Beep still happens.

I tried to look into PCM and I can't set it on or off, so it must be some kind of warning?

I told OPC.

Not good service from your OPC. Which one?

Newcastle. They are good. Can't fault them but.

Car died again. AA came. Started it but wouldn't rescue to OPC which are closed until Monday morning.

Now, tomorrow morning I have to ring AA, call OPC and not sure how get the car there again and swap for a hire car or have a hire car sorted.

It's starting to grind on me.

Newcastle OPC must be getting fed up with trying to sort battery problems on various cars.
They have recently had my 992 CS in as I’ve been having dead battery problems.
They had it for a few days. Replaced the VTS control unit and gave it back to me. Three days later - dead battery again. The saga continues and its now back with the OPC where I bought it.

The car is still there. There is a drain - the battery is not the issue - but it's intermittent.

I need to add up the days I've had without a car so far.

Latest on this. Picked up the car today. OPC had it for 5 days. Did drain tests etc and guaranteed me the fault was gone. Drive home. Lock the car. It bloody beeps again. Will be dead again tomorrow.

I have now emailed the supplying dealer OPC Bolton asking what my options are. I'm losing confidence in the ability of the dealer or Porsche to fix it.

5 breakdowns in 3 weeks.

Should I reject it? Car was bought in September.

Sorry to hear that. Rejecting it might be the best option.
