Problems and fixes in the Panamera
#31
thanks Kip....I have always had oil consuming engines from BMW/Porsche/MB...anything really that made 400-500HP seems to love Mobile 1. I do drive a mixed bag. 14 miles to work and back, 3 miles to the gym. But 2 days a week I have highway driving for 75 miles no traffic. While I am not surprised at 1qt every 1000 miles, it is something I will live with . I love my PTT....and she loves me, hehe.

Anyone having oil consumption issues? 2010 ptt with 28k miles and I am putting in a quart of mobile one every month. Car goes in for oil and service in a few weeks. Had a weird heated steering wheel issue where it turned off on me and then wouldn't turn on again until I shut down an restarted. Works fine now. Under hard breaking I am getting a heck steering oil level light. Goes out after I hit the gas again. I too get the creaky suspension on cold days over bumps for the first few minutes.

Just added my first qt at 20,000 miles. Changed oil at 2,000 and 14,000.

Update: I was told prior to pick-up that the problem was traced to a bad resistor in the blower fan which was creating the high-frequency noise. The resistor was replaced and car tested by the tech, confirming no more noise. I was excited when I got the car back and proceeded to the highway, where I heard the noise immediately within 5 seconds of driving. Absolutely no difference
Was this all covered under the warranty?

Trim loose
It seems when I'm getting in and out of my new Panamera, my right shoulder is hitting the trim on the pillar and causing it to come loose. I'm sure I'm not the only one but is there a way to make that trim more sturdy, there is a slight gap now where the two pieces come together which is annoying.

2000 miles now and no issues. Does a low oil lite come on as an indicator of needing oil or do I have to check externally (my 550i needed oil every 1000 miles or so)? My only comment is to be aware of the paring space bumpers which I have hit a couple of times.

It'll warn you when the oil needs to be top up.

Has anyone faced such a crunching noisy in the front suspension? Happens to my car all the time and dissappears after you drive it for 10-15 minutes. For what it's worth, my car has the PDCC installed.

Thanks! This is exactly what the dealer told me they are going to do on both driver and passenger sides. btw, what's your car mileage?

Oil consumption of 1 quart per every 600 miles in a Panamera Turbo is considered within the norm by the company. This is something we all need to put up with. My car has over 70k mileage now, I had to top up 1 quart per every 2.5k - 3k miles during the first 30k miles, then it got worse up to 1 quart per 600 miles (but never got below that mark). I mentioned this to the dealer many times, they always told me this is within the normal range (does not sound normal to me considering that I almost never push it to the limit).
Anyways, they have recently replaced the oil separator (under the extended warranty) and the consumption got back to 1 quart per every 2.5k-3k.
btw, my PT is one of the first produced, so I had tens of serious technical issues during the 4+ years I have owned it. Despite the whole-hearted love for the car, I can honestly say it is full of bugs. If anyone is interested, I can share my experience.
