My 2016 Macan S makes these noises that come and go from the front. Anyone have any idea what this could be? This forum won't let me share a video link. To see the video, please go to youtube.com and at this URL at the end of the link to see the video. /shorts/c754fNjikTA ..read more

Since both myself and my wife are nearing the age where we could get by with one car, and we have two aging SUV's now (2011 Cayenne Turbo, 2011 Lexus RX350) - we're considering replacing both of them with a newer (not brand new - I almost never do that..) Macan. And I'll keep my Boxster for me running around. So instead of 3 cars for near 80-year-olds - we'd be down to 2.. I kind of figure these 2 should last us until we have to stop driving (and self-driving and flying cars are... Macan experiences ..read more

Greetings, I currently own a 2018 Macan and wish to trade it for a new Macan at a local Porsche dealership. We are negotiating a decent price for the used '18 Macan. He keeps telling me that to sell the Macan with a CPO warranty, it'll cost him $2200. Therefore, he wants to deduct the cost of the CPO warranty from the trade-in value. My question is simple: Does it cost the dealer ~$2200 for a CPO warranty? I know that cost will be applied to the dealer's selling price... 2018 Macan CPO Warranty Question ..read more

You might notice, the majority of photos posted to Planet-9 are posted right into the posting in the thread. There are however instances where people DO post large images, which causes them to be hosted but not displayed in the thread - what's displayed then is a thumbnail of the image(s) - requiring a few additional steps for readers to see the photos. We'd like to avoid that - having to click the thumbnail results in a lot of images going unseen due to the additional clicks needed and the... Posting Photos in Planet-9 Posts ..read more

2017 Macan Turbo, 59k mi, second owner, had it for almost 2 years. A while back I noticed a slipping sensation on hard acceleration. Reminded me of a loose chain slipping on the cog of a machine as it turned. I took it to my mechanic and he said don't worry, it's almost time to replace spark plugs anyway, it's probably just missing due to fouled plugs. No improvement but one of the plugs was faulty, it was shorting out to the block. They replaced the plug and the coil pack. Seemed to... Macan PDK slippage ..read more

2023 Macan S - iPhone 12 - Up to date iOS. Apple CarPlay - I have 30 Playlists on my iPhone. When using a USB cable to the phone, CarPlay shows on the PCM screen. When I tap Playlists it only shows "Recently Played Playlists". Or if I tap on "Artists" it only shows "Recently Played Artists." I cannot scroll through all of my Playlists. Occasionally, if I stop, turn the car off, come back to the car minutes or hours later, it may show all 30 playlists. or maybe not, just the Recently Played...

Sorry if this is redundant, did a search but came up without results. Below is a photo of the left headlight lens of our 2017 Macan. Obviously a defective lens or simply a poor quality product. Definitely not up to Porsche standards. Has anyone had any luck with PNA replacing the lenses under either under original factory warranty or CPO warranty (in this case ..read more
