Grrrrr!

Going to need a new windscreen washer pipe and new button/switch for the mirror control.

Well spotted!

Am thinking it’s just normal wear & tear. I’m not especially ‘rough’ with any controls; quite the opposite in fact. I do have a chap who details the car monthly, but he’s pretty careful and cleans some pretty high end cars (e.g. Ferrari and Bentley etc).

Anyone had issues with switches/buttons in their Macans...? :geek:

Sorry to see that Simon. There has been at least one report in the past on here of broken switches but can’t recall who.

What happened to the washer pipe? Difficult to make out from the photos.

Hi Nick,

Yes, I thought I recalled at least one instance of broken switches... 🤔

I think the washer pipe has just snapped. Seems like a fairly common issue, according to owners on the Rennlist forum. :roll:

The washer pipe cracked on the Cayman last year in the same place and it was replaced under warranty so you should be ok.
