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...

Re: Macan Turbo tyres

I specced 20" rims, it looks as if there's barely enough room over the front brakes for 19". Are you after more comfort or less punctures? You can still spec 19" spare wheel for the current GTS so standard 19" wheels will still fit. It's 18" wheels (that used to give the be...

Re: Gen 3 wheels on Gen 1 Macan S

No idea whose car that was it was the first I found online with the GT Design wheels. I paid the Option fee to upgrade from these to Spyders. Wish I had not now, spyders look good but are a pain to clean. They are actually called "SportDesign" wheels, and I chose them for my Macan because...

Re: Macan T - Papaya or Carmine Red?

They are both not the most popular colours so first and foremost select the one you like best. Then if you have an eye for resale select the one that will appeal to more buyers which will be the red. Orange has a limited market and dealers will reflect that in trade in values. I actually saw a Papa...
