Wait until you discover PARK does not always work ;) I've had this scenario couple of times - tried to park, car moved. Turned off the car, it turned back on. I think it detects movement on drivers seat. Shouldn't work like that but what can you do. I like the car but honestly I haven't had...

That has not been my experience. Macan is the only car I've had that honestly scared me shitless a couple of times and undermined my confidence. I'm glad the update I had applied to sensors improved it a lot and I've not had a warning like that since.

There is no LKA sensitivity setting there.

Overview of changes due to this software update: (...) High-voltage battery control unit (J1120) Robustness measure: Optimized battery capacity calculation to improve range, charging power and SoC display

What I can add to this discussion is that I frequently travel between cities 300 km apart with a fast Ionity 800V 350KW charger in the middle of my route and almost always charging sessions take longer then the estimate. Battery is always preconditioned to optimal temp with outside temps 10-20C...

Guys, can you tell me if this is normal and could be reasonably expected? After 3rd alignment it still slowly goes off course and after couple of seconds it's outside my lane. It's OK for some time after alignment (up to 500kms) and then starts leaning left/right. One video is on winter tires...

Wonder if this is the same sensor calibration update that I've had a month ago (related to LKA and other driving assit sensors) or something different related to frequent warning and error messages that go away after start/stop.

Hi, I've noticed there is persistent buzzing sound coming from my bose speakers. It's hardly noticeable when driving and listening to music but you can hear it well with volume down or off. It's something like electric interference or white noise. I think it's louder when doors are open. It's...

So far nothing, will let you know if anything happens. They claim it affects most 4 and 4S on the lot and it does not affect Turbo - so these are not isolated incidents. They claim it's not the suspension, they triple checked everything and are sure this is not the cause. Best guess it's...

Check if this is coming from sensors behind rear view mirror. There is this plastic cover right behind the mirror and sometimes something inside makes this noise.

Update - I've driven other Macans with air suspension and this cracking sound was on all of them. You have to know how to reproduce it "on demand" (you have to use brakes and let them go just before the bump). My dealer confirms this is a common problem but is out of ideas, they say best guess...

Update for those interested... I went back and asked for a full re-alignment. They test drove the car, did notice the steering was a bit off. After the re-alignment was done correctly steering was still not perfect so they kept the car overnight and did some experiments with other set of...

Hi, I've had a chance to drive Macan 22" (demo), 21" (mine) and 20" (loaner) in one day. All air suspension, all winter tires and similar cars so it's very comparable. Impressions? There is not much difference between 21 and 22 in terms of ride quality. There is big difference however between...

Is it on park on drive? On drive - it could be external sound the car emits for pedestrians. On park - it could be coming from speakers and it's something like electric buzz/interference, I head it sometimes and it's hard to diagnose.
