Lot of high performance cars get stolen. If one is stolen in your area, insurance premium goes up unless you have a tracker. In some areas you may be able to afford price of new Range Rover but not insurance :cool:

No idea. My car is nearly 4 weeks at dealer. Only drove it for a week. Took delivery early September. First Macan EV rejected in March. By the way, whats the rear motor recall. I have a 4S as well.

OK, yes different. Also, this would only affect cars delivered after Summer Holidays. New installation method.

What's the software issue "battery integration"?

Do you have fobs on your your key ring?

Yes, it's the Vodafone tracker. The Vodafone s5 vts plus (the one Porsche installs) allows to immobilise car remotely. This is what apparently causes the problem. A "Thatcham 5 plus immobiliser" refers to a high-security stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) system that is Thatcham-approved and...

Yes it's possible, did it myself as I was in the same situation like you. Can't recall where it was exactly. Sure others here are happy to help out.

WOW. That's amazing. Great work.

It's really hard to describe the noise. Crackling sound refers to short, dry, sharp sounds. I had this on my last car (regardless of breaking) and Mercedes had no solution except for replacing a few parts (which I would have to pay) and hope for the best. Thanks, but no thanks. My current 4s...

Hi, would send an image to Porsche dealer or better, log fault with Porsche DE directly. They usually reply after 2 days. Very strange. Did you leave car for a few days without driving? Low 12v battery seems causing lots of problems.

Did test run (2 Macan with air suspension) with Porsche technician onboard, he confirmed there is a noticeable difference. I didn't realise at the time, Macan without the noise was RWD. We all agreed, we need to repeat test with 2 Macan 4 or 4s as this maybe specific to Macan with front engine...

I haven't looked at the thread header at all, and yes, this certainly does not belong here. I simply replied to messages, one was yours :cool:

Of course I am unhappy that I again got a faulty car, but my main concern is that diagnostics came back negative. Only after others in the UK logged identical faults, Porsche Germany was able to narrow down the cause. Others here are less fortunate. If you can’t identify the cause, you can’t fix...

Sadly I am us as well - 2nd time around. What’s your red circle of death. Mine is drive system failure. Only occurs while stationary.

Totally forgot about this. 🤣

I agree with your overall statement. Looking at both of my Macan EV, major problems seemed to be related to hardware problems. The last may be fixable via software update but only time will tell. In my case, only after other reports of identical faults where logged with Porsche, they were able...

MY 26 out in Germany and UK. So far only 4 and turbo. Macan and 4s still Model year 25. Yes, both came out later, but really? New package 3D Surround View with Active Parking Support, Trained Parking and Reversing Assist at nearby 2300 GBP but does include Comfort Access including Porsche...

If this did not happen before in similar circumstances and assuming preconditioning & heating is off, something is draining the main battery. Would watch it a couple more days and if this continuous, I would reach out to dealer. Worst case scenario, rodent damage.

I am afraid it's not a crazy thread. Nobody expects silence, but there are differences between cars with air suspension and the difference is not subtle. The problem seems more widespread and depending on speed bumps in your area you will or will not notice it. By now I have driven a few Macan...
