Re: New Owner - Macan S 2019

As the saying goes "you get what you pay for" and that particularly applies to insurance. Generally when going cheaper the exclusions and things not covered change with the result being less cover. How many actually read their policy T's & C's, not many. I moved to NFU who underwrite t...

Re: Flat Battery.

“It is located under the floor in the boot and it is huge, and very long, not the sort of thing you could readily pickup at Halfords” Really 🤔 it’s just a battery, probably a Varta 95ah AGM you can purchase via Batteries 2U app £200, also can be obtained at Halfords a little cheaper although my pre...

Re: Flat Battery.

I have the car back now, drove up to Kendal this afternoon to collect it. The OPC Tech was a bit stumped initially as to why the car battery was so flat until they went to plug in their diagnostic equipment into the OBD socket, then the light came on for the Tech guy assigned to solve the problems....

Re: Summer Winter Tyres

In situations other than a puncture I'd use a trolly jack with vulcanised rubber adaptor for the Macan jacking points. I carry a piece of wood in the boot to stand my Macan jack on to reduce the risk of slipage, only to be used if I can't contact Porsch assist. Why couldn't Porsche make the Macan ja...

Re: Summer Winter Tyres

Is it easy to sell wheels for a Macan when you decide to move to a different vehicle. Roughly what % of your purchase price would you expect to lose.

Re: Summer Winter Tyres

I guess you guys aren't using the dodgy Porsche jack when you swap wheels... If you're lucky with your OPC and buy your winter wheels from them, they will not only store the wheels that are not on the car but will also change them over and all for nothing. If you're really lucky with your OPC, you'...

Re: Flat Battery.

Surely as is the case all any vehicles any battery can be used on a Macan as long and it's the correct capacity and physical size, obviously quality counts, look for one with a decent warranty. I completed a net quick search and found prices starting at £130. Operating temperatures above and below ...
