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.

Re: Test drive booked , decided and deposit paid 😀

It’s a question of perspective. I think the surround element on the Macan is truly rubbish actually in comparison to our Kia and definitely in comparison to the 992 which offers junction view. The graphics in the Macan are awful by comparison BUT if you haven’t had surround before it offers some ad...

Re: Speed limit indicator

Surely if you get the OPC to install the software as a retro fit it would be a lot cheaper than Eu 400 from a third party? I have Google maps, the Porsche map or Waze to select from, they all show the current speed limits because I get frequent map updates, but I mainly use Waze because of the addi...

Re: What a (good) day

Welcome to the forum. A couple of minor suggestions. As standard, the GTS lettering on the sideblades is virtually invisible. Might be worth considering specifying the red option. Would stand out well against the black body colour. I agree with everyone who suggested ditching the Porsche puddle ligh...

Re: Winters to Summers

I tended to switch to winters at the end of November and back to summers in April, usually towards the end. In the last year I owned the car it was the end of June 2020 before the winters came off but that was down to Covid rather than the weather. I wont forget that trip because as I reversed off t...
