Can you replace the spoiler on a Porsche Panamera?
Porsche does not supply serviceable parts for the spoiler mechanism. Replacement units on the Panamera are very expensive. If you do have spoiler failure and need to replace it, there are options available via third parties for variations on the factory version. You can also upgrade to a factory GTS or Turbo spoiler.
Why does my Porsche Panamera use so much oil?
The Porsche engines will naturally consume oil while you drive. Different driving styles and conditions will cause oil consumption to change. With the extended mileage between oil changes that manufacturers have opted for, it’s very likely the car will call for additional oil between scheduled service intervals.
What causes a leak in the front of the Porsche Panamera?
There are two likely spots for this to occur – the front of the engine or the rear of the engine close to the transmission joint. The leak at the front of the engine is most likely from the upper front coolant pipe which slips out of its housing when the glue fails.
What causes Porsche Panamera to go into self protection mode?
The failure of the pump causes the coolant temp to rise rapidly and set engine overheating faults. The engine may also go into a self protection mode and shutdown completely. Typically this will occur when the car is sitting still for longer periods, such as bad traffic.
Where is the water pump on a Porsche Panamera?

Where is the adjuster on a Porsche Panamera?

Where is the air pump on a Porsche Panamera?
Sometimes this is called the air pump. This compressor is located under the car, behind the rear differential, under a protective shield. This compressor compresses air, and feeds it into the air tank. Its sole job is to make sure the air inside the tank, is at predefined pressure, so that the suspension can be adjusted quickly, per design.
