Re: Pdls plus

Hopefully the next Macan will come with a Matrix Lights option which are far better than PDLS Plus ( old technology ) Have to agree on this I have matrix LED on my S5 and they are light years (excuse the pun) ahead of PDLS+ IMO Yep, same here, the merc intelligent light system is way ahead of pdls ...

Re: New to Porsche - a few Q's and help avoiding any 'surprises' of a financial nature.

Just adding my 2 cents, ditch the torque vectoring, not worth it. I’ve come to a macan gts from an E63 and I’m not disappointed by the performance, although it’s not lunatic fast like the AMG and the power is higher up the rev range than the merc. Not having a pan roof will hurt the resale value, bu...

That works to a point, but you still end up flashing your lights on the motorway to switch it off, which is annoying for other vehicles.
It’s just really odd there’s no way of disengaging auto HB without HB being on.

Yeah, as per my post, if you do what it says, high beam comes on.

Pdls plus

Hi all, another Porsche noob question. I collected my gen 3 gts a few weeks ago and I’m slowly getting used to it, but I think there’s a bug in the pdls software, let me try to explain. You’re driving along and it’s dark. Engage high beam with the column stalk and in the dash you get the green “A”, ...

Re: Noob questions

The Ferodo information was posted to support Rarecolour's argument. Unfortunately it doesn't, it recommends braking from 50mph to 20mph. One of the basic laws of physics is E=M(C squared) where E is energy, M= Mass and C=velocity. So a mass (in this case a Macan) travelling at 70mph has 400 times t...

Re: Newbie considering a Macan and have a few questions

IMO, (other opinions are available) all the jlr cars I drove before prior to the macan were a let down in terms of driving dynamics. Yes, they have more powerful variants, like the svr models, but none of them can hold a candle to the drive of the macan. This is what tipped us into a macan gts. Also...

Re: Last Minute Stop Sale for Headlight Component

Mine had the same thing, although I did get a couple of days notice not a couple of hours.
The required part arrived in a couple of days so it wasn’t the end of the world.

Re: Noob questions

Also, what does everyone think of the brakes? They felt pretty average to me on my drive home, but I’ve only done 20 miles, so they will probably improve with a bit of bedding in. I hope so anyway. Your opening post has obviously generated a lot of heat (excuse the pun :D ) but by now your brakes s...
