Common Problems
Porsche Taycan Engine Problems - What It Costs to Fix & When Replacement Makes Sense
The Porsche Taycan's electric powertrain is generally robust, but high-voltage components like the EBG rear drive unit and Performance Battery Plus packs can develop issues. Every rebuilt drive unit supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded internal components designed to address original failure points - plus a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage...

Most affected vehicles
Porsche Taycan 4SCross Turismo 4
Porsche Taycan 4S, Cross Turismo 4, base RWD (2020-2021, EBG drive unit)
Failure mileage range
50,000-80,000 miles
Typical failure window
Root cause
Rear motor bearing wear accelerated by thermal cycling and high-load driving patterns on early production units.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intermediate - Bearing Replacement | £3,500 - £6,000 | £2,000 - £4,000 | Disassemble drive unit, replace bearings, reseal, software recalibration | Viable only if caught early before rotor damage; not suitable for high-mileage units |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt EBG Unit | £12,000 - £18,000 | £5,000 - £15,000 | Supply & fit complete rebuilt drive unit with upgraded bearings, bench tested, 12-month warranty | Recommended for units with rotor damage or over 70k miles; restores full performance |
Our recommendation
On a Taycan 4S worth £40,000-£60,000, if bearing noise is detected early and the unit is under 60k miles, specialist bearing replacement may offer good value. For higher mileage or confirmed rotor damage, a rebuilt EBG unit is the more reliable long-term solution.
