Just today on low revs noticed a grinding/vibratory noise more apparent when pressing acclerator then almost able to overcome it , can almost feel vibration through pedal, I think maybe over to left of front bonnet /engine area.
Petrol S
Any thoughts?
Still waiting on fuel hose and rear wiper repair so can maybe get it checked then, just seems odd that its new

gw76 - There are some threads indicating this could have something to do with the transfer box. Do a quick search and you'll come across it for sure.

Booked in for a look on Monday. Fuel hose getting done. Said they had no knowledge of a rear wiper scrub fault and they couldnt think of anything causing vibration rumble... thank goodness for macanowners club!

My car is also in for the Fuel Line recall next week and when arranging asked if there were any other campaigns/updates required (e.g. Rear Wiper Fix etc.). Was told nothing else needed on my Car (late April 15 build) as would already have been done at the factory. No reason to suspect otherwise as I have not had any issues so far.

Hmm. Mine was built in May 2015 and needed the wiper fix.

Giz9 - thanks for the info, will definitely question my OPC again when it goes in next week.

Have also heard that we have a Boxter S for the day while our Macan is being sorted so a bit of 2 seat fun for a change, only hope the Wife doesn't get to attached to it or she'll want to swap out her Focus and it's the primary Supermarket transport at the moment :-)
