Saddy Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi guys. New to this so hope I'm in the right place.. had drive off assist fault come up on the dash. Took it to a garge near myself who plugged it in and it told them nothing apart from what was on the dash. Any ideas what needs to be changed or should I just take it Porsche. Thanks for your time.

SpannerMan Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi Saddy! This is a fault with your hill-hold function as it's often called. Basically when the car is on an incline, the system will hold the car until you've selected a gear and moved off, or for a max of 8 seconds (or something like that). The failure won't cause you normal driving issues, but the warning will keep beeping at you. Theres a module on the gearbox that probably needs replacing, not too expensive. I'd get yourself along to an independent Porsche specialist to have it checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddy Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi spannerman Brill thanks for that mate. I'll try and find someone too have a look at it. Hopefully can get it sorted Cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Now I know I have ‘Hill assist’ ?? Had wondered as the car seems to ‘hold itself’ on the incline out of the station car park. Maybe I should read the owners manual sometime.... Hope you you get the snag with yours sorted Saddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 The brake switch is extremely inexpensive and easy to change. It shouldn't be more than half an hour of labour + cost of the switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
