Re: Battery replacement

A quick follow up on this one. I read somewhere that the smart alternator only charges during engine braking.

Battery replacement

My 2017 Macan Diesel could do with a new battery. It seems replacing the battery is not as simple as just replacing the battery. The new battery has to be coded back to the car so the car knows how to charge it correctly. If I was to buy the exact same battery and during the replacement process I co...

Visited there an hour or so ago.

Indie route is where I will be going, will be giving these guys a call on Wednesday.

Re: Macan Diesel 60k service

PDK oil was changed at 36,500 miles, so about 7,500 miles ago.

This was the quote I received for this service.

Re: Pads and discs

One cause can be by sitting on the brakes for a while. Another cause of brake judder is if the wheels have been off and when put back on there are deposits between the hub and face of the wheel.
