Re: Car skips under hard acceleration.

Are you sure its not just crabbing? Mine is doing it a lot more due to the cold weather - as the tyres are so wide and temperature so low they are skipping in tight turns and pulling out into right hand junctions due to low grip. In fact another post reminded me that it was on this forum that i lea...

Re: New here. Not an owner

Don't listen to anyone here lol. I live in London and just got a brand new Macan S last year. It's a great city car, comfortable, quiet (when trundling), smooth even on 21s (to me anyway coming from 4 series M Sport), absolute blast when you open it up. It isn't huge if you genuinely need space and ...

Re: Upgrading to a Macan S

At the last minute I went from rear camera to surround and I'm so glad I did - as per others I would ditch the self park and get surround camera instead. Everyone I have spoken to about it says its a party trick you use once and then its so slow you don't bother again. I don't have the speed limit i...

Re: PDLS +??

I think there must be something wrong with the OPs setup. I have a Gen 3 S and I have been surprised at how good the (standard PDLS) headlights are on dipped beam - to the point that road furniture is lit up in a way that makes me think I'm on full beam when I'm not. Maybe its because the Macan is h...

Re: Porsche connect issues

I have basically ignored it and I also use Carplay with Waze, but that isnt really the point im making - its functionality that's advertised but literally doesn't work, or works so badly people have to find workarounds for it. I don't think that's really acceptable for a product in this bracket but ...

Re: Porsche connect issues

Hi, i have the exact same thing. Car Connect service was activated by the OPC prior to collection, and i had the app ready and could see the car but once collected it stopped working. Spoke to Vodafone who like you couldnt see the car at all with their tools so they said it had to be a Porsche reset...

Re: Seat belt warning

I'll be watching this one as my Gen 3 S behaves as per the US forum and I agreed with their diagnosis that there aren't any sensors in the seats, only three seatbelt sensors. Mine doesn't do what Tracky says - upon starting the 3 passenger icons are always red as the belts are not connected. If a pa...

Re: My Last Macan

Re. Bose I would say you should definitely try before settling on the standard. I read lots of people saying the standard is fine, and if you only listen to the radio it is but if you stream any music via bluetooth the difference is huge - much more bass, and for whatever reason the volume equalises...

Re: New gen Macan

Hi, passed on my Gen 2 S order when i heard about the S getting the GTS 2.9V6 as it kept being delayed and then heard the new details. I knew the interior changes were coming, but this seemed a bigger refresh than i was expecting so would rather have the new car. OPC said ~2k uplift for the S which ...
