I've noticed what is definitely Ackerman a couple of times in the past few days in the Macan on 20" wheels.

JBA... not sure what "TB" is unless you mean Transfer Box?

... condensation... my first thought was sunroof drainage. This can go spill into front carpets and also collects in the boot under tray and can affect electrics. See Youtube videos of Macans awash with deep water here. Check that now on yours. Any dampness to carpets? The roof drainage tubes can get blocked where they exit behind the rear wheel inner guards. Leaf or other debris in the roof channels gets take down into the tubes. It's a service check item with a charge for clearing them. You can run your own test by pouring water into the channels but DO NOT try this unless you have better instructions - do a Google.

Different issue I would suggest. Ackermann as reported is massive on all porsche models in cold and damp and is 'normal' - they all do that........

Thanks again all. I will do these extra checks including sunroof etc. But hopefully it's just Ackermann.
