Previously I posted that I’d scraped my front splitter while trurning into a parking lot. I also mentioned that I had never scraped the nose on my 2011 Cayman S over 13 years. I’ve now scraped the Macan three times in eight months. I finally figured out how to do it reliably (well, OK, why it happens).
I think it is happening because I occasionally put the Macan into sport mode. The vehicle is lowered and stays lowered until either I select Normal mode while driving or I park the vehicle. The problem is that I drive in “Sport“ mode, and then drive into town and forget to select “Normal“ to raise the suspension. Then, still lowered, I turn across a deep gutter / drainage channel.
Just posting this so you too can reliably scrape the front end of your new Macan! Sport driver beware.
