Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any answers for the rear spoiler not deploying - red light issue please?

POST 2Original post

Is the spoiler warning light on after you start the car? If it is it would be good to get the fault codes read. If not it could be the microswitches or motor.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Spoiler light on at start until travelling at 5-10 Mph (Ie normal)...then at the 75mph mark, when the spoiler is meant to deploy, the red spoiler light comes on ..but no spoiler. I am able to manually deploy the spoiler using the rocker switch while stationary...

POST 4Original post

It is most likely one of the microswitches is faulty. Get the fault codes read if you can

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sure enough, it fixed itself?!

POST 6Original post

Mine did the same then the fault recurred at a later stage.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yep re-occurred....hmmm. will try to get to RPM Technik

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

By the way, I got this fixed by putting in the required relay. Thanks Jaz Porsche.
