Re: DIY Maintenance and Modification

The OPC's aren't perfect. They charged me £60 to replace the puncture repair gunk can at the 20k service until I reminded them I didn't have one as I'd specced the spacesaver spare. They were a little embarrassed to say the least. Makes me wonder what what else they charged me for but didn't change...

Re: Your Macan is Crap

Great video. Forgive my ignorance but is the ability of the PCM to show the circuit map part of the Sports Chrono option? It is. Great for regular trips to Sainsbury's too as it gives you lap time comparisons :) I can imagine that being very useful for those forum members who do several laps of the...

Re: DIY Maintenance and Modification

Interesting post from Paul above pointing out the cultural (and perceived legal) issues. So perhaps us DIY enthusiasts need to be prepared to be a bit more American in our approach! ;) But it's good to see people with a similar view to myself, and perhaps over time this forum will evolve to include ...

Re: Non Porsche Winter wheels 19 inch

+1. But it's been over 24 hours and I can't believe that no one has pointed out the obvious error! ;)

Re: 10k Mile Oil Change

It only takes five minute to order on line and is worth doing when the car takes 12 litres and the dealer charges double the retail price :shock: I see, so in 5 mins, I can have 12 litres of oil in my possession? There's no delivery to wait for, be in for, or anything? no time arguing with the OPC?...

Re: DIY Maintenance and Modification

^ No, but I'm not in the market for a used Porsche, and not looking to sell mine for many years!

DIY Maintenance and Modification

Having spent a bit of time on the US Macan forum recently, I notice that a significant proportion of their forum members seem far more prepared to carry out DIY maintenance and modification than us Brits. They have entire threads/topics devoted to both modification and maintenance. Given that the Ma...

Re: Your Macan is Crap

Thing is if I stick with the 19’s I will probably get away with no Active Susp and Power Steering Assist whereas with 20’s and those extras the budget has a mighty hole in it. PASM only with 20". 'Power Steering Plus' is not essential, and you can always add it later (a SW change) if you think...
