Re: Engine knocking at idle

Advise needed.. So the engine noise saga goes on. Yesterday I got my car back from Porsche after it’s 2nd visit for the weird engine noise/sound at Rickover/idle. Long story short is. First visit they acknowledged it was making a odd noise, so it went in for 5 days, which on collecting they said ‘we...

Re: Orbital Polisher

I have a polisher as well. I’ve had it for a few years and up to now I’ve not used it on the Macan. The previous BMW, it was used regularly to get swirls and scratches out. I use website www.cleanyourcar.co.uk for compounds and pads. Also there are demos of using a polisher for those who are using t...

Re: Engine knocking at idle

Evening All So ive recollected my Macan S after four days of a 2.0 Macan petrol as a courtesy car. Annoyingly within 100 metres of leaving the OPC Leeds, the engine noise on the car which it had been in for since Saturday was still there.? no change? So ive come away with my nicely valeted car but w...

Re: Engine knocking at idle

Morning Literally I’m going out of the door now to OPC Leeds to drop my petrol S off for 3 days for a very similar noise issue from the engine bay at idle. My sound is more like a ‘wallowing‘ or like the sound made if you got a sheet of hardboard and moved it backwards and forwards to make a sound. ...

Re: Just had a call from Vodafone

Interesting.. on the topic of what seems a little bit of hatred for the Vodafone telematics service. On purchasing my Macan I did (maybe foolishly) take out the whole 9 yards of tracker, car connect and some other option/service. Well this week for the first time, I left my house keys with the attac...

Re: McCann SD First Reaction

Just picking up on one of Col’s point (point 3) and the cubby hole being to small to fit an iPhone in while charging. Porsche did think of this and like me if you buy the right angled iPhone cable from Porsche £30. An iPhone 8 Plus cable will slide perfectly into the little skinny phone holder witho...
