Update... Took it awhile to catch today but it did start (crank sounds normal it just wont start though it tries).. Once it starts there is still a loud noise, at first, like yesterday..sweet smell from engine, white smoke out of the exhaust ... all of that stops after it runs for a few mins.. the light buzz remains.. can something in the engine have been damaged by the rear end accident and just took a few months to manifest? I am not going to drive it till I can get into the dealership.. It does still say "driving permitted" Is it the beginning of a Head Gasket Failure? Anyone know what that cost will look like? Again once it starts and the noise dies down to barely a mild buzz.. it drive as it always has.. no loss of power no issues what so ever except the warning stays on..

Well strike two. Heading back to the dealership. Second time this came on. See what they find this time.

Update:
The dealership misdiagnosed to problem and replaced the wrong part. This time they installed a vent line (94611002036). Hopefully I'm good to go.

Turned out to be bad gas... It was a 700-ish repair requiriing a complete system flush. The gas station was aware there was an issue and covererd the entire cost plus three ubers.. My S is running great again.. Thanks all for your help !!!

Today as I pulled into my office I got a "Fault of the Engine Contol System" warning and the yellow engine light came on. i pulled into a parking spot and called my SA and he said ok to drive it as long as the car drove ok. He asked me to bring it in tomorrow for diagnostic evaluation. I drove it home this afternoon and filled with gas on the way home but the light did not go off. Also, when I pulled into the garage, I noticed a high pitched "whine" noise coming from under the car (not from the engine). Anyone else have this happen? I have to drive it 30 miles to the dealer tomorrow. 2015 Macan Turbo with 38,900 miles

This JUST happened to me. I got a "FAULT OF THE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM" followed by a loud scraping coming from under the car, sounds like the passenger side. 2018 Macan. I live on an island with no Porsche dealership nearby. Not sure where to turn. Can I drive to Boston (70 miles away) to have Porsche look at it? Not sure I'd trust a mechanic on this island….ugh.

Did you lose turbo boost? Watch the boost gauge during hard accel. to see the boost psi increases. If not, you probably have a vacuum leak. Nothing to worry about. Some of us had this issues and got it fixed under warranty.

Hi! I have a 2020 Macan S with 59k miles. This Engine Control Fault light came on and my European Specialst Mechanic said no code is detected. I just failed Emissions and their computer said Turbo Boost. I am freaking out, single Mom, just dumped 5k into in at 38k miles for a water pump, thermostat and hoses, warranty was such a scam. Car was sold to me as a 2020 but production date was 2019 so they wouldn't cover it. Got so scammed. Had it with this thing. Drives like a dream/smooth as a jet but emptying my bank account. Take unbelievable care of it. HELP! PLEASE!!!! Do I get out of it an cut my losses? Still have $26k left to pay as I have only had it for 2 yrs. Losing my mind.

I just don't believe "production date" is all defining. My car is model year 2021, but delivered in October of 2020. Obviously a "production date" in 2020. I think your "in service" date is what matters as far as Warranty is concerned, and it boils down to the day rather than the year.

Today I received a warning while driving under heavy rain conditions: "fault of engine control system" - in yellow; the engine was not properly accelerating.

Contacted Porsche Service on the phone while still driving at reduced speed: they stated if it is a yellow warning, nothing particular to worry about (!?!).

Outcome: following Porsche service suggestions, had to stop the car, switch it off, wait 10 secs, and restart it. Luckily the warning disappeared and the car started back to perform properly.

Has anyone else experimented with the same situation?

Hi! Just got the same problem while driving but stop the car at a rest area to look it up and found your comment, followed what you did and YAY got it clear, drove to the ski resort as usual but will take it in the Porsche place to have it checked out. Thanks 😊
