Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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 1Original post

Didn't realize my car had these. https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/911-carrera-models/drive/active-cowl-flap/ Don't know how they are actuated. The GTS models don't seem to have them.

POST 2Original post

Correct, GTS models do not have this feature. I imagine it's installed to reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency. It's probably controlled by a combination of speed and water/oil temp. In my mind it's just another electro/mechanical nanny that adds weight, complexity and another thing to wear out and require repair. :soapbox: Looks cool though.

POST 3Original post

Macan might have had them since 2015. Its all done to get every bit of CO2 footprint down. https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/macan/macan-models/ In brochure "Aerodynamics are enhanced, which helps to improve fuel economy."

POST 4Original post

I hope the active flaps also protect the exposed radiators at least somewhat. I notice less debris collection (mostly leaves) there in my 911 than in my 981 BS. Yeah, things that can break in a modern car are too many to fret about. I wonder what the cost will be for replacing the turbos but I don't need to worry about it for the next 4 years at least.

POST 5Original post

Have been inquiring at dealer and contacts at PCNA for procedure to remove Air Vanes and actuators to reduce weight. Suspect this will require a PIWIS reset. Will put on grills to protect radiators. No info so far. Any help?

POST 6Original post

Not quite sure the time, effort and money are worth the few pounds you might save. :2cents:

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
