Recent C2S purge fan issue
I thought i would post this as it may help someone else who encounters this.
We were happily driving home from dinner recently and i got an error message that the ACC was inop, "able to drive, take in for service", i think was the complete message, we had just gone over a rough bit of road so i suspected a glitch, pulled over turned the car off open and closed the door for effect, started the car back up no error, carried on our way... within a couple of miles the ACC error came back, within 5 more miles i also got an auto stop start not working error, now i was more concerned, as it was Sunday night and we had some stuff planned in the car during the week, i had to gather my thoughts... i decided to take it in even though i didn't have an appointment, i had low expectations as i took it in to a pretty busy dealership, but they were excellent and handled me very well as you would expect from a high end dealership, gave me a loaner a 2023 Macan T 4 cylinder nice enough, but needed to be in sport mode just to get around IMO.
so onto the issue, i had done some reading, and had started to suspect a weak battery, this was a concern for me as the car has RWS and a LiPo battery think $$$$$..as the battery is likely original and is 4 years old i braced myself for the worst news and the likely hood of it not being covered under CPO warranty, the communication was excellent, and it turned out to be an engine compartment purge fan error, it would seem the purge fan was running too long and effecting battery voltage then the error messages occurred, we have had the car back 4 days and the error has not come back, so i believe and hope it is fixed.
On another matter, that same evening i got some goo on my fingers from the melting windshield seal which is a known issue, ill do a separate post for it.
