Hi, having problems closing the rear tail gate on my Porsche Cayenne 2013. It opens up half way when I push the key, then to open fully it needs another push on the key. But to close it only goes down half way and won’t fully close. I have to manually push it down. Inside the car it’s showing a warning that the boot is still open. I’ve taken it to a local garage, he’s unable to communicate with the tailgate controller module. Anyone else come across this issue? Thanks in advance. Chris

I haven't come across the problem before but I am increasingly hearing of modern cars thinking for themselves (as they are designed to do), the trouble is they sometimes become disoriented and feeling they must try and behave normally they put 2 and 2 together and make five. Usually it is a case of automatic windows that are closed before they expect to be closed and think they have encountered an obstruction and so go into reverse. I think it needs dealer diagnostic equipment to reset these things...

Which would you rather own? A Porsche Taycan or a Tesla Model S?

Of the 2 I'd rather own the Taycan. When you look at the specs the Taycan is the faster one not only in a straight line but on the track. Engineering Explained did a great video on this (https://www.taycanevforum.com/threads/why-the-taycan-turbo-s-is-faster-than-the-tesla-model-s.1165/) It also comes with the Porsche pedigree, engineering, and dealer network. The Model S has a higher range but I'd bite the bullet for the Taycan.

1999 Boxster won't start sometimes

Yes. It may have a weak magnet on it. Otherwise it would be the ignition or control module. Try replacing key first.

2006 porsche cayenne with blower motor problems. I just went to the storeand on the way back, blower started working again. must be a loose fitting, you think

It is likely the blower motor is defective or the connector is burnt or the dash switch is defective, Also the blower motor brushes may just be worn out, when it stops hit the motor with a hammer handle and see if it starts, check all connectors for signs of overheating as well.

What is the code for radio on porsche 911 1999

You have to visit a dealers parts Dept. they need the VIN from the lower left of the windshield, the number off the radio (if available) and most important proof of ownership, they will call for the code. I hope this helps. Take care.

Water in the dashboard Porsche Cayenne

I have been hearing and experiencing some sort of reservoir of water swishing around in the passenger side of my 2004 Cayenne. The carpet is soggy and there is evidence of moisture intrusion when I open the doors. There is a film of moisture on around the lower door jams. Of course Porsche is nowhere to be found in this discussion. My beautiful car is now a camel and I can not findc a descent explanation anywhere. Your post is the closest thing I can find. And did the "garage" charge you to extract the five buckets of water? The folks at Porcsche have no idea and no one else has "had" the problem. WTF?

1998 porsche boxster, when the roof is up there is a red light on indicating it's not closed when it is. Then the windows randomly go down by themselves. What is the problem?

That’s a question for You Tube or the dealer of course. More than likely something electronic got wet and is causing this. Try you tube and you will see if others have had the same problem. Then u may get a fix.

I have a 2003 Porsche Cayenne S. I went to start it, it turned over slowly, then died. I used a 'jump starter', but on the 3rd attempt everything died. What is happening and how can I fix it?

Check the basics :
1. Load test battery @ half of cold cranking amps.
2. Check charging system
Then go back and check them again.
