Waiting for the dealer to confirm their diagnosis. Whilst waiting, I've calculated that since the beginning of November the car has been in their workshop more days than it's been in my possession (53%). I know that's geeky but I got bored waiting for their call. I suspect they will replace the valv...

Hi Hoping one of you may have some advice on some ongoing issues with my Macan. Back in June (at 14k miles) the car displayed an amber "R gear not possible" warning. The car was recovered to OPC and given an oil change. A few weeks later the issue returned and this time the valve body was ...

Hi

Did your issue get resolved? I'm having similar issues.

Thanks

My 2018 Macan had this error message last month. OPC asked me to stop driving and call break-down. They had the car for a week and said they couldn't replicate or find a fault code. A week later the issue returned. Ignition off and on again appears to reset the issue. It is frustrating though. Car r...

Thanks. I'll check that with the OPC.

Hi I purchased a 2018 Macan GTS back in December from an OPC. There is a concerning creak from the steering at slow speeds which sounds like a strained motor. It's not rubbing as it is audible when the steering takes strain rather than turns. I have attached a YT video to help demonstrate https://ww...

Anyone had two transfer cases replacements? I had mine done like 6 months ago but recently I have been getting a hesitation when accelerating from a stop. It almost feels like the car jumps. I have also had some hesitation at really low speeds (this has has only occurred once or twice). Both issues...

Forum members are more likely to recognise problems with the transfer box because it is well publicised on this site. Just because you have a 50% failure rate on a small sample size doesn't give any indication of how many failures might have occurred on the 16k total UK Macan population. Yep, I und...

Story so far

Had replies with a sample of 53 cars. Out of these, 30 cars have had no issues. Out of the remaining 23 cars, there have been 26 transfer boxes.

Assuming it's specific to the part (not a Monday/Friday built car) then it's roughly 50% failures. I find that quite shocking.

Summary so far based on replies:

Sample of 36 cars (mainly SDs), 24 of which have no issues. The other 12 cars have had 15 transfer boxes replaced between them.

Thanks everyone for the replies so far.
