Re: It's new tyre time!

Soon need new tyres on the GTS, currently got 20"Goodyear which are ok but down to about 4mm after 15k. Previous S had Michelin all season which lasted just over 30k and I was very happy with them, undecided whether to splash out the extra £200 for the Michelins (not all season) On cost / mile ...

Oil change warning v service indicator

Just got back from having a problem with my June 2021 GTS fixed at the dealer including a revised software update to fix the rear seatbelt warning indication. On stopping on the way home I got a warning flash up on the dash saying Oil Change required. I've checked the oil level and its around 80%. T...

Re: Rear washer not working.

Just got mine back from Hull after a similar problem, dropped it off Friday and picked it up this morning. They were a bit vague on the details but it was a joint come apart somewhere. All fixed, car cleaned and software update to fix rear seatbelt warning problem down. No charge, great service. Onl...

Re: Rear washer not working.

Mine is a late Gen 2 GTS with camera wash and it has this problem but as I saw this early on I’ve stopped using my rear washer so don’t seem to have wet rear carpets but have noticed that my problem with the rear seat belt audible warning has returned on the passenger side only. Not sure if this is ...

Re: Rear washer not working.

Was initially offered a workshop date in mid February but on seeing the possible problems will be on the phone as soon as they open after Christmas to push for an earlier date. In the meantime does anyone know if the rear washer pump has a separate fuse that I could remove to prevent accidental oper...

Re: Rear washer not working.

Got the same problem on my GTS, left it at the airport during that cold weather and when driving home the front worked but the rear didn’t. Assumed it was frozen and would thaw out once the weather warmed up, it hasn’t. The front one work and the pump for the rear whirs but nothing at all comes out ...

Re: Winter approaches, what preparations will you make?

Log sheds full, central heating oil tank just filled, boiler service booked, generator checked out and new fuel added, had flu jab and covid booster! Nearly forgot, had the old Shogun serviced ready to use instead of the Macan if the weather gets really bad, otherwise just use the Macan as usual. Mi...

Re: Average age of macan driver?

Mid sixties when I got my first one, in my 70’s now and just got my insurance renewal and it’s gone up 70% since last year, will be looking elsewhere to renew!

Voice control of the radio

My year old GTS is a bit stroppy when you try to use voice control to change the radio station. I press the button and wait then make my request such as “play BBC radio 2”. The central display goes to the voice control display. It goes quiet and thinks about it for quite a while then announces that ...
