Re: Car forgetting saved settings

I collected my Macan S in April (still done less than 3000 miles - but enjoyed every one!) and I've experienced the same issue. The first time EVERYTHING went back to like a factory reset and since then I'm not convinced that the seat memory is 100%. I discussed this at my "Masterclass" t...

Re: Car forgetting saved settings

Yep - been there, done that, got the t-shirt! Last settings are automatically saved to key. So if you pick up your wife's key by mistake it can be a struggle getting in!! Now have different coloured key fobs to differentiate 🤗 I always use the same key so in my case it isn’t that. @Makanik and Paul...

Car forgetting saved settings

1 month and a pitiful 500 miles (sorry!) into my Macan ownership and overall very impressed with the car. I have a couple of gripes, such as a ‘service necessary - driving permitted’ error message that the OPC can’t currently fix, and some teething troubles using CarPlay via Bluetooth. More annoying...

Re: Gtechniq

Thank you. After spending longer than I care to admit thinking about this I’ve decided to suck it up and learn how to do some (entry level) detailing myself. So I now no longer intend to use the hand car wash people. However I still can’t decide if I should get the car treated or if looking after i...

Re: Gtechniq

I will likely give my car an occasional wash and sometimes take it to the dreaded hand car wash people. I will try to use the ‘proper’ ones rather the really cheap and mass market ones, but none the less I imagine this is still against recommended advice for those who value near perfect paintwork m...

Re: Gtechniq

Another question for those with Gtechniq CS Ultra and Exo. I understand from a detailer I am talking to that you need to have the paint work inspected annually by a Gtechniq accredited detailer to maintain the warranty. Mine has even told me that with the CS Ultra they will need to do an annual clay...

Re: Gen 2 Macan S or Gen 1 Macan GTS

@Simon850 - it’s not ‘that bad’ - it pulls strongly with minimal lag and has a decent purr when pushed hard but it is not endearing or aggressive and is so much more refined than anyone would expect from a Porsche. A lot of the time this is a good thing - it’s just not a sports car engine.

Re: Gen 2 Macan S or Gen 1 Macan GTS

Before I ordered my facelift S I tested a 2014 Turbo for comparison. Sorry I don’t have any experience of a GTS. The Turbo was unsurprisingly quicker and throatier but not all that different in real world performance. The technology inside however really let it down. The nav screen looked really anc...

Re: Gtechniq

Thanks for the advice and I tend to agree - it sounds like a coating isn’t worth it for someone like me.

Re: Gtechniq

My car is due for delivery in late September and I’m looking for some advice. I will be completely honest - I am not going to be one of those people who meticulously looks after the car and paintwork and I have next to no knowledge of detailing products and procedures. I will likely give my car an o...
