Was asking, as was interested if the issue was specific to a certain model of Macan, or across the range

Great news Spud.

I think a few of us will be keeping an eye out on our Macans for this.
It would be good to find out when they resolved the problem and in what builds (if any yet)
Also if the Transfer box is the same in all models (GTS, Turbo etc)


GTS 😀

The USA forum has reported Transfer Case problems and they are all petrol cars. The reports go back to 2014 .

They don't sell the diesels in USA I believe. Or they don't sell many if they do. That means that it affects all variants then.

Hi Spud,
That's good news, there are too many of these messages for my liking, mine has now done 13,000 miles but no symptoms as described as yet!! did OPC say it was a bad batch? as surely a mass produced item like this all have the same issues?

Getting my Macan back on Saturday with a new transfer box. Service engineer said that the box is a new modified version to fix the problem and not just a like for like replacement. He also stated that when the same problem occurred on the Cayenne the design was modified, pity they did not read across to the Macan at the time.

Has the new Transfer Box made a difference ? I've just been told that it could take up to two weeks to obtain a replacement as there are none available in the UK

Spud New transfer box has made a big difference as I now realise that the problem started some weeks back as I noticed some vibration when cold and in reverse. I guess you use the Nottingham OPC who dealt with this in five days for me.

Yes use Nottingham OPC and I have nothing but praise for them in the way they have always dealt with any problems I have had across the 3 Macans, picked the car up this afternoon and can notice a difference straight away, when reversing up the driveway tonight immediate power/drive response no jerking, also when pulling out of junctions no hesitancy, speaking to Porsche they hav had a few issues with the Macan transfer box as they did with the Cayenne, the Transfer box has been modified and is obviously being fitted in the new Macans, I would say to anyone having problems/doubts take it in to your dealership, there appears to be no define on Petrol/Diesel , to be fair to the OPC they just swapped it as soon as mentioned and they had checked it out, it really is a pleasure to deal with Nottingham OPC 👍
Can't say if it's a bad batch Spicky I just get the impression it's a common faultSpud2017-02-10 19:30:51
