Just see seen his on the Facebook Macan page with a link to the Porsche newsroom site https://newsroom.porsche.com/de/unterne ... 14756.html
Google translate has it as :
In recent months, extensive analyzes have been carried out for all Porsche diesel vehicles of emission class EU6. These are related to the retrofitting of diesel engines for vehicles of the Volkswagen Group announced in Berlin on 2 August 2017 as part of the so-called "diesel summit".
For the Macan 3.0-liter V6 diesel, Porsche has been carrying out a voluntary service measure since autumn 2016, coordinated with the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). This measure has already been carried out in Germany with more than 8,600 vehicles. This corresponds to a compliance rate of more than 93 percent.
In addition, Porsche will shortly introduce another software update for Macan 3.0-liter V6 diesel vehicles to the KBA. After approval, Porsche will offer the retrofitting of about 14,000 vehicles in Germany (around 52,500 vehicles in Europe). The owners of the vehicles are contacted directly by their responsible Porsche partner. The workshop visit, which is free of charge for the customers, will take place as soon as possible after agreement and will take about one hour to complete.
For models of the type Cayenne 4.2-liter V8 diesel, which expired in 2017, are currently held votes with the KBA. There are around 7,000 vehicles throughout Europe.
For the new generations of the series Cayenne and Panamera currently no vehicles are offered with diesel units.
In future, Porsche will build on a trio of further optimized gasoline engines, plug-in hybrids and purely battery-powered vehicles.
Energy information
Macan S Diesel: fuel consumption combined 6.3 - 6.1 l / 100 km; CO2 emission 164 - 159 g / km
Diesel engine firmware upgrade ?
The only software update that I would be interested in if I still had the SD was one that boosted the power to 330bhp.

Yep, I will sign on for that! As for some performance sapping, emissions improvement mod, that will have you refilling the AdBlue bottle every 200 miles (I exaggerate somewhat), I think I will opt out?
We had our 2.0Tdi Q5 'upgraded' and to be fair, we can't actually detect any performance or economy differences whatsoever? That may well be because at 170bhp, there isn't much performance to sap anyway?
Also, Audi have committed to replenishing the AdBlue (consumption of which is increased by the modification) for free, for a period of years/miles (can't remember details offhand?).

Well, the washer fluid filler cap IS placed in a rather inconvenient place, isn't it? Same on both my cars - bloody difficult to reach!

I know in theory where it is. Only because I looked, couldn't find it and looked it up online. I haven't been back to actually see it yet. Something to look forward to.happy days wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 9:37 am Well, the washer fluid filler cap IS placed in a rather inconvenient place, isn't it?
