Porsche Macan owner sent us a message: AWD fault warning appearing every cold start, disappears after the car warms up. And a knocking sound when turning slowly at low speed, like in a car park.
We put it on PIWIS first. Rear ABS sensor confirmed faulty, which is why the AWD system was falling back to rear-wheel drive on cold starts. Then we put the car on the lift and checked the front end.
The front driveshaft was leaking. When the CV boot cracks, grease escapes and the joint starts to wear. That is where the knock comes from when turning. The front absorber covers were cracked. The engine mount bush had collapsed.
Full job over two days at 112,560km: driveshaft and CV joint, rear ABS sensors (both sides, original), front absorbers (original), engine mounting set (3 pieces). Plus a service: oil, throttle body clean, brake fluid. Total $5,658.19 with GST, itemised and approved before we touched anything.
AWD fault warning on your Porsche? That is usually a sensor. Knocking when turning? That is usually the driveshaft. WhatsApp us and we will check it properly.
