Re: Is transfer box failure inevitable?

A quick update had the first signs of failure as noted above on 25k OPC acknowledged the problem and did a lube change which solved the judder. On about 40k took it back in trying to get them to take the bait and swap the box out as this coincided with the end of the 2023 extended warranty, but they...

Obscure Pano Roof Problem

Had the frightening experience of a seagull dive bombing my Macan in motion this morning whilst I’m driving at about 40-45 mph. After I changed my underwear a review reveals the deflector completely ripped off and difficulty closing the roof, given imminent downpours I’m lucky the local village gara...

Re: Sunroof drain and PDK oil change costs

Had terrible service from main dealer for this drain problem, they made it sound like it wasn’t a common fault. Car well out of warranty, so now use specialist who cleared crud and mud from ends, clipped off the “lips” on the end of the pipes which should allow a regular flow to keep them clear, als...

Re: Gloss black roof rail restoration

Having a bag of loads of cleaners for all surfaces, except black roof rails I was loath to buy yet another bottle, upon recycling a tin of Mr Sheen I thought , why not, can’t do any harm as it’s been tested to within an inch of its life on all sorts of domestic applications managed to squeeze a drop...

Re: Transfer Box replacement out of warranty

What did they do for a “fix”, replace the box or just a lube change, the lube change solved my judders but I’m worried it’s temporary, sunset date (7yrs post ref) is Sept 22 so I have some time yet.

Re: Leaking Roof????

Bought it privately, it had 25KM on the clock when I acquired it and as before the price was chipped to pay for a warranty which I couldn’t get as I’ve said above.I’ve spoken to Williams Crawford about transfer box before going to the OPC. Williams Crawford actually checked for me on the PGB databas...
