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 t...

Re: Summer Winter Tyres

Plenty of threads on this subject, Rick and even more opinions! The party line is probably winter wheels and tyres should be fitted but many, including me, don't bother. The reality is that the Macan is pretty sure footed in all conditions if you adapt your driving style appropriately and it's the ...

Summer Winter Tyres

I'm interested in how many UK Macan owners change tyres for winter/summer. I haven't on any of the 30 odd cars I've owned maybe it's not required in the UK as we don't have as much snow as Macan owners in other countries.

Re: Macan Oil

With my Audi's my low annual milage increased the time to the next service but with my Macan it seems to be the opposite with time to the next service reducing. It seems that one of them hasn't got to grips with variable servicing.

Re: Comfort Entry

I think you need to leave the automemory box ticked. Then if you move the seat while driving it will keep that position when you next drive it. I am pretty sure - but it is a while since I set mine up. I usually leave mine off, only because I got into the car after it had been serviced by a tiny li...

Re: Macan Oil

I'm intrigued, I was informed the particulate filter on the facelift 2.0 is located in or just after the exhaust manifold which meant regeneration isn't required as is the case with diesel engines. I don't see why oil spec should change due to the presence of a particulate filter. This must also be...

Re: Clunking noise on new S anyone?

I read somewhere that there's a common fault with one of the exhaust supports which Porsche advise should be cut, has anybody else read this?
