I’ve had my car just over two months and today was the first time I’ve lifted the bonnet and looked at the engine.
Is this a record?

Anyway, thought I’d take a picture for those who have yet to do similar!!

I think I also took around 2-3 months before opening the bonnet too!

Had a quick gaze and then shut it again. That was nearly a year ago.

I asked for the bonnet to be opened at collection, just to check 😁

I haven’t opened mine yet and have had it for just over 2 months…

Don’t you guys open your bonnet when you clean your car to dry around the engine bay?? 🤔🤔

Everytime I open the bonnet on my Macan I stare in amazement at how the Porsche Engineers squeezed so much into so little a space.

It just shows how things have changed over the years. I passed my driving test nearly 59 years ago and in those days it was a regular routine to lift the bonnet at least once a week. You needed to dip the oil, check the coolant level in the radiator and take the tops off the battery cells to check the acid level in each cell. Now, not only do things not need checking so often it's virtually impossible to see any levels just by looking under the bonnet.

...and indeed, there’s very little of the actual engine on display any more!

Some great work by the plastics moulding industry though! ;)

Agreed. And when my father taught me how to clean a car he stressed the need to clean under the bonnet thoroughly so that when you opened it any new leaks were immediately apparent!
