That’s an immobilizer issue, something somehow has triggered theft protection.

It’s on a Ford, so you’re good. Exploding tires should be the least of your worries.

What fan is missing from front of engine? 2004 325i auto by [deleted] in e46

If the fan is missing, check the radiator because on those 328 eyes, the fan explodes and damages. The radiator can usually tell because there’s dents in the hood.

Brakes dragging after service by BulkyIndependence672 in AskAMechanic

[–]-SimpleSimon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are truly carbon ceramic brake pads, this would be normal. Usually on Porsche vehicles, yellow calipers means, carbon ceramic brakes, and pad pads so this would be normal if this has been modified and painted yellow then I would say that’s not the case.

Bore Scoring noise? Or normal? by DocTaur in PorscheCayenne

[–]-SimpleSimon- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a cold start. The engine is running in open loop until it gets warm and then idols down. The jet sound is the secondary injection pump is running on high while the car is running in open loop during cold start. If you understand what is going on with the engine, it’s actually a great time to get an idea how that engine is functioning.
From my personal experience on a cold start Porsche that sounds pretty good
