Hi All
Just joined the forum, I collected my Porsche from Sheffield Porsche last Friday, I have owned a Macan previously although it was Diesel.
I have inc some pics, also I have an issue with the rear seat base, I am hoping someone can recommend a fix, it looks like someone has fitted a child seat and it has stretched the leather, if anyone can offer some advice I would be grateful ?
On the info panel it shows Oil Temp, Water Temp Etc but not oil pressure HELP my previous Macan showed both Press and Oil Temp, this was the earlier model with the smaller screen. , also can you disable the drive away locking?
I love the colour and spec although realise it is a marmite colour choice Lol.
It is a 2018 model but only 26000 miles, the dealer did not point out the seat issue on the walk around video, which was disappointing but apart from that the car was beautiful, I was going to walk away but it is a nice car so hopefully someone can recommend a fix? Also is this an issue with the Macan?
Regards David

You could try warming it up with a hairdryer and placing a large flat weight on it for a couple of hours.

+1 the green looks even nicer in the flesh.
This....just gentle with the heat and don't put the hairdryer too close to the leather. And try giving it a gentle massage with your hands....oooo errrBluesnose1812 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 3:23 pm You could try warming it up with a hairdryer and placing a large flat weight on it for a couple of hours.

Great looking car, re the rear seat, before doing anything yourself I would challenge the OPC to rectify the problem. IMO should have been pointed out and sorted before handover.

We spotted a rear seat 'dent' in the leather and the OPC removed it prior to collection.
We did however miss a couple of scuffs on the driver/passenger door sills which we reported after purchase and the OPC will rectify FOC when the car goes in next week (bought 23rd Oct).
Our 2019 S does have oil pressure under oil temp so it must be possible, as post above perhaps.
I'd think drive away locking would be in one of the main screen menus, but ours has the bigger screen so not sure on yours?
