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...

Re: Long time admirer, first time owner

Gen 2 main changes were bigger wider Satnav screen which necessitated redesigned dash vents, and the light bar on the rear. Lots of small changes under the skin, I believed they gave the park sensors a Valium too Also the introduction of the 2.9 engine, as opposed to the 3.0. Revised front and rear...

Re: Macans are about to be uninsurable!

As Bazz06 said on the thread below, if thieves know where the tracker is likely to be located then the inbuilt one is not much of a problem to professionals https://www.macanforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=14282 Following Bazz's advice might mean you have a better chance of your car being recovered, pr...

Re: New member

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck with doing your own maintenance and repairs. I must admit I gave up on that more than twenty years ago when cars became heavily computerised.

Re: Residuals

For any car, if you budget for 25% loss in year 1 and 10 % for subsequent years you won't be far out. Every car is different and every 2nd hand car salesman is a $%#&. Your post reminds me of some horror stories from the past. There were a number of Vauxhall products that used to depreciate lik...

Re: Porsche Vodafone tracker renewal

Each time I've renewed the tracker contract I've dealt direct with Vodaphone Telematics. £476 for two years.

Re: Gen 3 wheels on Gen 1 Macan S

Thank you for welcoming me. Firstly, I spoke to the service manager at two separate Porsche garages. Both said that the RS Spyder wheels are the only endorsed 20” version for a Gen 1 Macan. But they couldn’t offer any technical reasoning. Secondly, I was of the view that all 20” wheels were 10J and...
