Hi guys, I got my Porsche Panamera since 5 days and the first problem appeared
I hear a noice when it changes the gear but only from 5000rpm up to the max, i think at 7000 it changes, its a strange noise like a plane taking off, cant describe the sound. If i go normal no noise, only when hitting kick down or sport/sport plus when it changes at maximum rpm. I made a request to go with the car go the Porsche but they dont have time only in 2 weeks so i made this thread..maybe anyone had this problem in the past. Cheers from Romania

 

You should describe the noise a little clearer.. I hear lots of things when a plane takes off.

 

Well, my english is not that good, i would say its hearing like a whistleing but its not a whistle... Maybe i will make a video and then upload it?

 

turbo whine sound?

 

Yeah! Kind of.. But the car doesnt have turbo!

 

could be lots of things... maybe it s along the serpentine belt or one of the pullys. Hard to determine on the internet. Does it do it in park when racing the engine? or only when in motion?

 

Only in motion. And only from about 5000 to 7000(maximum) rpm.

 

And i have other issue to, i've seen here is other guy with a thread with the same problem, car is vibrating and when i am in motion and i stop at red light for example, it drops a lil bit from 800 rpm or how much it stays normal and u feel like the engine is stopping..

 

I have that too , macan has it to . My friend m5f10 and 458 have it also . Its the noise from dual clutch transmission when it changes gear but makes it only when the car is cold

 

You mean the vibration or the strange sound?

 

At my car it makes when the car is warm too, i never go fast with the car if its cold

 

Is this car under warranty? Let a certified tech look at it. Sometimes it s a simple ECU reflash or update. It s reasonable to hear some noises when a machine is operating.
The low idle thing doesn t sound normal.
Maybe try manual putting it into first gear when almost stopped and see what it does. Just try a few things to give the tech some things to work with.
Also can you drive another car like your and see the differences?

 

The sound is like a high frequncy whistle and sucking sound at around 5000rpm .

 

Yes! Exactly!!!

 

No, i don't have any warranty... I have made an appointment at Porsche but they don't have time till the 23 of this month... I don't now anyone else with a car like mine.. In our city are 3 other panamera's 1 4.8, 1 hybrid and the other one is the facelift same hybrid
