Driving on a wet motorway kept feeling the off rear wheel kicking in an out as if the traction was operating cutting in when accelerating slowly, similar issue when pulling out of a junction turning right. Yes I am driving sensibly and not flooring it and yes there is tread on the tyres. Also only happens on rear left.
Anyone had a similar problem?

I do not recall any such problem being posted before.

Probably a call to your OPC is required.

Possibly a sensor problem, are you getting any warnings in the MFD?

FYI the rear left is the nearside not the offside so bear this in mind when describing to your OPC

Thanks for feedback
No warning lights
Does sound like a sensor as only on the left side
Will book in and see what they say?

Got to the bottom of it after several visits/attempts.

First attempt was to replace a single CV joint. This resolved some problems but not the main juddering. Eventually the transfer box has been replaced. Seems ok at the moment, but a bit worried about the remaining CV joints. Only 19k miles!

I only read this thread this afternoon. Funnily enough, my first thought was transfer box. I shouldn't worry about the remaining CV joints as I think your OPC has finally got to the source of the problem.

It would be interesting to know just how many transfer boxes Porsche has had to replace. There have been a fair number on this forum which only represents a small fraction of total Macan ownership.

I agree, it would be of interest to know how many boxes have been replaced against the total number of Macans in the UK.

I wonder if other countries are also having this issue?
GTS \o/ - sold :(
