Hy everyone, I’m having troubles with my cayenne coupe e-hybrid 2020. As the warranty expired two weeks ago, the active spoiler just doesn’t want to work anymore. I have a message in the gage cluster. It’s half way out. Does anybody had that issue before? Any experience with that kind of issue? Any fix or tricks?
Thanks a lot!

Take it back to the dealer and beg for it be covered?

 

Won’t work… 😞

Did you try and select the CAR page on your touch screen? Then select the spoiler up/down. If that doesn't work, then you would need a diagnostic code reader to determine the failed component.

Good luck

 

Yeah, but it says it will go into service position. I will need to visit my AD.

 

Did You find a solution? I have the same problem.

Same issue here with the adaptive spoiler, my warranty expired in dec 2022. Mine is not working at all and I have in the dashboard cluster gauge this fault notification: " Spoiler Fault - Adaptive speed permitted". I've searched the entire web for a thread for this fault with no result. One thing I discovered is that in trunk there are some fuse boxes - mine has 3 (it's a standard coupe cayenne). On the 2nd fuse box there is fuse number 3 (30 amp-green) for the rear spoiler. I've checked the fuse and found in good order. I pulled out the fuse and on the PCM the "adaptive spoiler" function/logo dissapears.
Another thing you can try is to disconnect the battery, first the negative and then the positive, horn 2 times and try to flash the lights, leave it for about 15-20 mins and reconnect battery, I will do the same with mine, I haven't tried yet.
Hope you'll solve the problem.

 

Had the same problem, as long as the motor is not broken the dealer can reset the spoiler and it will work just fine.

 

How much did cost the reset at the dealership?

 

It was just their good willing to fix it, so I did not pay anything but some other dealers might take your money or just tell you to replace it which is around 2500$ for the spoiler with the motor (you can’t replace just the motor).

 

Exact same problem. Motor working sometimes but not on control. Anything to do by myself to solve or need to go service guy ?

 

Nothing to do by yourself. You need to reset it to the dealer, if he wants to do that and not tax you for a new spoiler

 

Same fault on my 2021 GTS, seems to be serial issue☹ warranty expired in April this, let’s see what my dealer in Sweden has to say about this

 

Home from the dealer, bad news! It’s the driver that needs to be replaced to a cost of 2200 euro! No warranty, and the Porsche service center guy also informed me that they have had “several” replacement. Bad quality and I’m very disappointed

 

Hi there I've had the same issue come up on my 2020 Cayenne Coupe. I took it into my local Porsche specialist and he said they are seeing a lot of this now on Cayennes and Panameras. Very dissapointed. He says the drain holes get blocked up and then the motor floods. He took a look at ours and found that it was full of water and needed replacing at a cost of £1,600. And just 3 months out of warranty! Very dissapointed. I want to get some good will from Porsche, but they said they would try but couldn't guarantee it.
So a warning to everyone with an automatic spoiler, check your drain holes and make sure they are unblocked.

 

Hmm where would I look to do this?

 

Hi,

I too have just encountered a spoiler issue with the Cayenne Coupe. This happened just 8 weeks out of warranty. Porsche is charging £2,700 for a new part. I must say that I've lost all trust in Porsche after being a customer for 15 years. 18 months ago, a van knocked my wing mirror off and damaged the paintwork on the driver's door. I asked the dealership if this could be touched up, and they said 'no, the door needs to be resprayed.' After paying out £2.2k in good faith, I noticed that the door had not been resprayed; it had been t-cutted. Where is their quality control? I don't think I'll ever get over this type of dishonesty from a brand like this.

 

I had the same issue with my '20 Cayenne Coupe. It was out of warranty and required replacing the rear spoiler motor.

 

My 2020 Cayenne Coupe's spoiler stuck up. I read the threads, fearing the worst. I had a look and could see that the joints were very dry. I sprayed on WD-40 and left it overnight. It worked! (Other brands are available!)

 

Hey,

My spoiler is just a tiny tat open, so I can’t seem to find any spots to spray WD40, any suggestions on how I get the spoiler open so I can spray?

Thanks

 

I have a ‘24, its in the PCM menus - not sure what year you have and where it would be otherwise.

 

I have two Cayenne Coupes, and both had and still have the same issue. One was under warranty, so it was fine, but the other one was out of warranty, and the dealership quoted me €3000. That doesn’t make sense for something that could break again in a couple of years. So, I’ll just buy a second-hand part and have an independent Porsche specialist fit it, which could save me about €2000

 

There are much better lubes than WD40 which is fine for designed applications.
