Levei meu Macan 4S à assistência técnica em Princeton, NJ, por cerca de 8 dias devido a uma série de problemas aleatórios, e o único item da lista que eles conseguiram resolver durante esses 8 dias foi a atualização de software relacionada ao recall da câmera.

Tenho ouvido um ruído horrível, como se estivesse batendo em algo, que (depois de dirigir bastante e eu ter me sentado em todos os bancos do carro) vem do lado do passageiro, em algum lugar embaixo do painel ou atrás daquela peça lisa e brilhante.

Para minha surpresa, a assistência técnica disse que isso era normal , pois outro Macan que eles tinham fazia o mesmo barulho... Vou levá-lo de volta, mas pensei em tentar algo por conta própria enquanto isso, já que está me deixando completamente louco.

Gostaria de saber se alguém tem alguma dica de como remover essa moldura brilhante para verificar se é um clipe ou outra coisa solta atrás dela? Anexei um vídeo para referência.

Hi there! The rattle if I'm not mistaken is coming from the speaker grill on top of your dash board, nearby the connection between the hard black plastic with brown plastic and the leather. All macans having same issue more or less, just some people they cannot listen because of the road quality in their countries. Try hitting with 2-3 fingers with high frequency the top of your dashboard nearby the speaker until the middle where the clock is located. if you can replicate then we are talking about the same rattle which I fixed by pushing some insulation material. If there is another rattle, again you can replicate by hitting your screen with 2-3 fingers to listen it but I doubt it's the screen.. I guess a permanent fix will be to remove the speaker grill and insulated, which I will try to do later on...It is okay for temp and until verify that 100% was that. Let me know if it worked.

I have the exact same issue, it is temperature dependant for me too. It started during autumn, went away during the winter time and now it is coming back.

I fixed it by wedging a business card folded in half between the window and speaker/dash. Also, in my case holding down the speaker grill stops the rattle too - so at least in my case it was easy to pinpoint the cause. Had it booked for a fix, but the dealer didn't bother to remove the wedge and said there are no rattles...

Also, as with many other brand cars my Macan panoramic sunroof suffers from rattles/squeeks when the sunroof is closed. I haven't looked into it yet, but my guess is spraying some silicone (clean the area first) around the seals where it contacts panoramic sunroof will eliminate the sounds just like in other cars I have that suffer from this. It is not a permament fix, but it helps for quite a while.

That means there are 2 rattle sources.
1. From the light bar.
2. From the speaker grille.
