Hi AndrewT
Without prejudice
Thankfully all our cars that had new GPFs fitted were covered under some kind of goodwill policy from Porsche, thats always been appreciated, even if we had to insist they changed their policy, on out of warranty claims.
We have had quite a few of our cars checked for any inaccuracies on the differential pressure sensor readings, most were spot on compared to the vehicles data.
This confirmed early on in our investigations that the GPF filters were not blocked.
We have never seen a high enough sensor reading to initiate an active regeneration, which is also confirmed by the DTC soot load high code, P2463 and the regeneration code 26740 never been present on any of our faulty cars.
We are now in a situation that Porsche have endevered to try and fix this issue and obviously spent alot of time and money, which is an indication that they feel that they have now some responsibility.
At the moment we have a situation that when a new filter is fitted, they manage to get the system to record a zero reading in the measured oil ash K231 section of the GPF report.
Unfortunately is doesn't stay at zero very long, and comes back with with figures that don't make any sense, the highest we have seen was at 78% and this was yesterday.
If you ask Google this question
Can motor vehicle manufacturers be liable if the gpf system on their cars are reporting incorrect values in the emission system.
This is what comes back in various forms
Motor vehicle manufacturers can be liable if their GPF system reports incorrect emissions values, especially if it's due to a defect, misleading advertising, or a failure to comply with environmental standards. This liability can result in fines for the manufacturer, and consumers may have a right to a remedy such as a repair, price reduction, or refund, according to EU legislation and UK consumer law.
Manufacturer liability
What to do if you have a problem
We need the reassurance from Porsche that this will continue till they come up with a solution.
One thing thats come out of all this work that has been done over the last 2.5 years is that these cars are well loved.
To many of our cars have been sold because of this fault, its a real shame because they have all said, they never wanted to sell their cars and would have still been driving them today.
Fingers crossed
Dave

This liability can result in fines for the manufacturer, and consumers may have a right to a remedy such as a repair, price reduction, or refund, according to EU legislation and UK consumer law.
Manufacturer liability
- Defects: Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products are free from defects that cause them to not be of "satisfactory quality". Incorrectly reporting emissions values can be seen as a defect that affects the car's performance and environmental compliance.
- Misleading advertising: If manufacturers make claims about emissions that are not true, this can lead to liability. Consumers can argue the car is not of satisfactory quality if actual emissions significantly exceed the advertised values, according to UK Parliament.
- Failure to comply with standards: Manufacturers are liable if their vehicles don't meet the required environmental and safety standards. Regulatory bodies can impose fines on manufacturers who fail to meet their CO₂ targets.
- Actionable consumer claims: Consumers can make claims for a breach of contract if the car's emissions are not as expected. If the issue cannot be fixed, they may be entitled to a price reduction or refund, according to EU legislation.
What to do if you have a problem
- Contact the manufacturer's authorized dealer: If you suspect a problem, an authorized dealer can examine the vehicle, says GOV.UK.
- Contact the manufacturer directly: If the dealer is unhelpful, you can report the issue to the manufacturer directly.
- Report to authorities: You can report a vehicle manufacturer to the relevant authorities if you think they are breaking the law by selling unsafe or illegal vehicles or parts, according to GOV.UK.
