Re: Headlights won’t switch off

I have a 2015 petrol Macan S. I always keep the headlights on Auto unless I need the fog lights in which case I switch to “On” and pull out the knob. Lately the headlights have remained on in auto mode, whatever the ambient light, and if I turn the knob to “Off” they remain on. There is no differen...

Re: Fighting Steering / Wandering

Take a look at the road profile of the roads on which you experience a problem. If the profile tapers to one side then the car will attempt to follow the profile. On the A11 this week I experience "tramlining" which used to be a major problem on the M42. Large numbers of HGVs following the...

Re: Order placed

Thanks, I would love the red stitching but they don’t do it with the extended leather! You get the red stitching with GTS interior pack in either racetex and leather or all leather. Both are extended. Thanks, I asked the SE and he has come back and said it isn’t extended so I have now challenged hi...

Re: Macan S Test drive + Deposit tomorrow?

Welcome to the forum. You should spec the car for what you want rather than what we might think. Having said that, a couple of comments on your spec. I've got 20" Spyders on my GTS and I agree with Col, they're a real pig to clean. Also, 21" wheels give a slightly harder ride due to the re...

Re: Sainsburys 97 octane super unleaded

The subject of what fuel to put in your Macan has been "done to death" long before you joined the forum. Hopefully your post will not start a rerun. I choose to run mine on Esso Supreme but as I've only ever used Shell V Power as an alternative when I couldn't find an Esso garage I can rea...

Re: Oil change frequency and cold starts when car "on holiday" at OPC

This problem has been around since the latest software updates. https://www.macanforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=13185 I would have thought by now that Porsche would have recognised that the sudden change in oil change distance to next change would have been sorted by now. It has nothing to do with col...

Re: Amber light

the Vodafone card needs a new battery If the fob needs a new battery then that message will appear under the symbol. As Neil says, the symbol on its own means the car cannot "see" the fob. If the system was correctlly configured you would, by now, have had a phone call from Vodaphone aski...

Re: Best value oil? Mobil 1 or another...

The recommended oil for the different engines in various generations of Macan has changed over the years. What hasn't changed is the manual statement quoted above. What also hasn't changed is OPC technicians apparent inability to read what's on the sticker. If the sticker recommends 0-30W then that'...

Re: Best value oil? Mobil 1 or another...

Oil warning has just come on for the first time, after 5,000 miles, but my 981 Mobil 1 is a different spec to our 2019 Macan S which uses 0W-20. Mobil 1 recommended by Porsche. So I need to buy some. Probably 1ltr locally then get a 5ltr bottle off t'internet. Can anyone advise where to buy for bes...

That link takes you to a 0-40 oil which is definitely not the right one.
