    April 2026 Consumption Figures - Share Yours

    I seem to be stuck at 3.5. Have noticed it’s gone up significantly in May as the weather has warmed up and it’s pretty easy to get 4+ on a long non-motorway trip and 3.7 on a motorway.

    Software letting the brand down

    FWIW I think I may be joining the ā€œsome people don’t care as muchā€ club. I had one of these errors the other day and simply stopped, switched the car off and on to make it go away and carried on. Maybe it’s the quality of the drive that keeps me going! The errors are fewer and farther between...

    Software letting the brand down

    Thank you. That worked. However I think the solution may have been cumulative and required one of the previous steps too. Thoughts?

    Software letting the brand down

    Hi - thanks for all the suggestions so far. I still can’t connect any iPhones via CarPlay. So far I’ve tried: - changing the hotspot password so it declares it as Strong - deleting and readding the phones - rebooting the PCM by holding down the button for 30s - disconnecting and reconnecting...

    Software letting the brand down

    Thanks. Just tried. It says password is now strong. Disconnected and reconnected device but CarPlay not available wirelessly or wired. I’m going to try disconnecting the battery in the morning.

    Software letting the brand down

    Mine just stopped working overnight. It asks me if I want to restart the hotspot but it fails and I can’t connect. It doesn’t even work with the phone plugged in. Music and phone calls do work over Bluetooth I presume.

    This hotspot failure, CarPlay issue just happened in mine again. The last time I fixed it by disconnecting the battery to ā€˜reboot’ the car. Does anyone know of a cleaner way to do this?

    Macan 4 servicing in UK - why is the dealer hounding me.......?

    Ice Macan is my pet name for my car in the app. I guess the feature is there in case you have 2 of them to manage in the app? Tyres are 35 and that’s what the dealer set them to. Curiously I looked at my sticker and it says 37/41 depending on load so looks like I need some air. Do I pick 39 as...

    Macan 4 servicing in UK - why is the dealer hounding me.......?

    Mine has done 21k miles and doesn’t need a service until March 27 or another 8400 miles which would be 30000 miles. And the number keeps getting bigger every time I look. I got it in Jan 25. It does need a new interior filter so it’s booked in next week. The app let me know.

    Front hood lock jammed

    I had the opposite; the frunk wouldn’t close; at least according to the PCM. It looked closed. I took it to Porsche and they did some kind of adjustment to the catch.

    Route planner getting dumber?

    Yesterday I planned a route home after a weekend away and was assured I would stop for 5 mins at a preferred Ionity station to get me there. Somehow it rerouted to an Osprey on the way. No idea why?

    the mobile app has stopped receiving data from my car

    That’s exactly what happened to mine. The first time for 3 weeks with no obvious actions taken to fix it. The second time it was fixed when they upgraded it with the 28.13 patch, which could of course have been completely coincidental.
