Has come up twice now after using lead boot, any ideas of cause?
message continues.. Consult garage Driving permitted

It's a yellow engine message and disappears on turning ignition off and on.

I have a petrol macan S 2015

I've not seen this message on mine; however, take a photo next time it happens, as proof for the OPC.

The message should appear on the OBC logs, together with what sensors prompted it.

I'd get it checked out. Could just be a sensor that's been nudged out of position by torque-twist, or heat, or it could be the start of something more serious...

Tonbridge called Porsche assist to send AA truck to pick it up, they believed it was a clamp for vacuum hose in turbo system that hadn't been fully tightened at factory. Things seem to be good now, if not better, and turbo gauge seems to be very responsive but tbh I didn't used to look at it that much before.
