Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,
Just wanted to advice on a Macan s I’ve seen at an local OPC.
The MOT advisory mentioned an oil leak. Spoken to the delta and said it has been fixed. Seems like it was a common problem.
Has anyone had this problem recur after it’s been fixed by the dealers?
Don’t wanna buy a car that is going
To have recurring problems.
Thanks for the help.

The Macan has 2 issues of note, mine had a slight leak from the pdk box which was replaced under warranty.
They have also been known to leak at the front of the engine on the cam cover.
Have a nosey here....

I had a 65 plate S.
In the 5 years we owned it had…
New transfer box at around 25k miles.
New front drive shafts at around 30k miles.
Discs and pads all round around 40k miles.
Broken rear spring and £5000 engine oil leak at 50k miles.
Luckily everything other than consumables were covered by warranty.
These cars also eat tyres for fun.
Do your homework before buying. I wouldn’t run one without a warranty but obviously up to you.
Ouch!
That’s a lot of work on a car!
I wouldn’t have a Porsche without the warranty either.
This is has now got me thinking on whether it’s worth the hassle.. multiple stops at the OPC to get things sorted is not practical.

Great car, we enjoyed it and would have swapped it for another.
Unfortunately at the time it was a two year wait for another Macan, at the time just after the first lockdown they had nothing to sell whatsoever without a wait.
After 20 years of Porsche ownership we jumped ship and bought a Range Rover, ironically this had an oil leak after 6000 miles, fixed under warranty but unlike Porsche no like for like loan car provided.
Your’re safe I think with the manufacturers warranty, for us it’s always been no quibble and they’ve repaired anything and everything without question.
Parts I believe are becoming a problem for all manufacturers.
If you do buy it. I’d ask what they’d do in the event of parts being unavailable.
Thanks for the advice.
I have a cayenne currently and the ownership experience has been ace, esp with the warranty.
Will give them a call and check on availability of parts.

Cheers for that.
But nothing about whether it has been a recurring problem…
The cam cover oil leak was due to a factory assembly issue, basically overtorqued bolts snapping the heads off when heating and cooling. Mine was done under warranty at about 18k miles, was still ok at 36k miles
