WPL8 - Replacing Electric Passenger Compartment Heater (Workshop Campaign)

Model Line:

Taycan (Y1A / Y1B / Y1C)

Model Year:

As of 2020 up to 2023

Concerns:

Electric passenger compartment heater

Cause:

Due to a potential material error, the heater coating in the electric passenger compartment
heater can become detached on the affected vehicles during prolonged utilization of the
heating and with high heating output, especially in countries with frequently cold environmental conditions.
This may result in the heating function being impaired and the vehicle not defrosting properly when
driving.

Action:

Replace electric passenger compartment heater.

Affected
Vehicles:

Only vehicles assigned to the campaign (see also PCSS Vehicle Information).
Information
Please note that even on vehicles not assigned to this campaign, the high-voltage heater may fail for
various reasons. These vehicles must be processed via the standard repair process (car down case) and
will not be reactively assigned to this campaign.

– (Replacing) Electric passenger compartment heater

Required parts and materials
Information
According to the latest knowledge, it is no longer necessary to replace the hexagon nut
(N 10737001) and the hexagon socket screw (N 91096801) when replacing the electric passenger
compartment heater. These can therefore be reused. For this reason, the two part numbers
mentioned are removed from this campaign.
For the transitional period, it will continue to be possible to invoice these after installation. The remaining
stocks of the internal hexagon round-head bolt (N 91096801) and the hexagon nut (N 10737001) on the
market can be used up if necessary. It is not necessary to return the parts.

Information
If necessary, a data reconciliation from the vehicle analysis log (VAL) can be used to check whether the
correct electric passenger compartment heater has already been installed.
To do this, perform a reconciliation of the date of manufacture of the passenger compartment heater
installed in the vehicle in the PCSS and function “Comparison of diagnostic data (FAP)” with the currently
uploaded vehicle analysis log (FAP).
•

If the date of manufacture is later than February 14, 2023 (manufacture > 14.02.2023), an
optimized component has already been installed on this vehicle  Reconciliation of manufacturing
date for high-voltage heater (FAP). In this case, it is not necessary to replace the electric passenger
compartment heater again.

•

If the date of manufacture is before February 14, 2023 (date of manufacture < 14.02.2023), the
electric passenger compartment heater must be replaced.
