Re: Potential GTS Buyer.............. opinion on this car ??

PDK service is every 40k miles or 6 years, so check its been done - crafty dealers often ignore it, as do owners when they already have a decent bill for a 36k mile service for example. Never had an issue with my pano roof, i think issues with the drains is vastly exaggerated across the internet - i...

Re: 21" vs 20" wheels

I had 21" and PASM, no complaints on ride quality in normal setting, even on the dreadful roads we have locally. Handling another matter, far too much roll - sports setting helped but its no sports car and needed better roll stiffness imho

Re: Picking up my used Macan S - what to look out for?

Hope all went well. I would have suggested check as much as you can yourself, a OPC check is only as good as the monkey checking and ticking boxes.

After 45k miles I’d be checking all the brakes, pdk service completed and no oil leaks.

Hopefully al is good for you.

Re: Thoughts please…

I’d check the tyres myself, there’s nothing in you post to verify what the OPC have measured. The used approved programme says above 3mm. Maybe they were just above 3mm at the point of sale? Either way when Porsche recommend changing tyres at 3mm you’d expect some diligence when prepping for sale. I...

Re: First adblue warning message appearing

For the price of a bottle of adblue from the OPC you could buy the VAG filling device, which screws onto the cars filler port and the adblue container. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154887165588?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fzglve2usx6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Jz1jmmAmR...

Re: Anyone replaced their bi-xenon headlight bulbs ?

So far so good. Certainly in drier conditions they have been noticeably better I've experienced some awful commuting weather this week, the improvement in such conditions i would say is minimal. Put into context that replacing the factory bulbs, like for like, due to age/drop off would only have bee...

Re: Independent garages or not?

These guys are worth a try: https://www.cotswoldspecialists.co.uk/ I used them once with my old 987, they changed all four lambda probes and charged more than quoted due to taking longer than expected. I used Northway in Aldermaston for servicing and never had an issue with them over ten years. I t...

Re: Not just Porsche then..

Similarly Land Rover, some vehicles you could only spec in one trim level (strangely the top spec level HSE with the most kit) - i suppose it streamlined the parts supply variants, whilst maximising profit margins ! There are hundreds of built vehicles in store at Halewood, awaiting various chips t...

Re: Macan EV on sale for late 2022 [?]

With the weight, and it wearing a Porsche badge, they are going to need an entry model with 350-400bhp equiv, and the top model with 600+

Heck you can buy a Volvo EV with over 400bhp now, and a Polestar 2 LRDM saloon with 470

Re: Macan EV on sale for late 2022 [?]

that makes the GTS (or any gen 3) even more tempting and a 'bargain' as that value will hold for another 3/4 years. Let’s hope the release a final swan song full fat Turbo S/GT version ;) God I hope so. A 500bhp version would be so good. By the time they eventually get this to market it'll need 600...
