Turbo Lag on Diesel Engined Macan

[porscherap]

The SD is single, variable vane turbo

Well that was a shock. How embarrassing. I honestly thought the diesel engine was a twin-turbo. That'll explain the lag then!

So the next question is I guess, I wonder if the Diesel ECU(s) have self-learning to help overcome the lag and gear-changing programming.

Have you tried a PDK reset? See this topic for how to do it......

I used to put my SD in Sport for more rapid get aways too.

Thanks guys and in particular, SAC & Col. I reset the PDK yesterday and had a long drive out today with a noticeable difference in the acceleration attitude. Much smoother overall, although turbo lag is still evident and will just need to be managed, possibly with greater use of the Sport setting as suggested.
