Re: Macan S Diesel 2017

You're about as bullet proof as you can get buying from an OPC with 2 year warranty. There have been no reports of DPF issues on this forum or Facebook groups for a long time - I think any problems were due to a software regions that has since been superseded. As Col says look at how much life is le...

You can replace just the batteries. This was included in the price quoted for my last set of tyres.

Re: TPMS battery life

The sensors do have a battery pack that should be renewed at each tyre change. Significantly cheaper than changing the sensors.
