Good afternoon,
I'm a new member and apologise for starting with a problem.
I've only had my Macan since late March but after a couple of months I had some messages on the right hand display stating various faults which were 'AWD overload', 'rear wheel drive only', 'suspension system fault', 'PASM/PSM fault' and 'parking brake inoperative'. The car felt a bit leaden to drive but all of the faults said words to the effect 'drive with caution'. A friend tried to use a diagnostic tool to trace the fault but the tool and the car wouldn't talk to each other so we pulled the 40A fuses hidden in the osr panel and they tested ok and after refitting the faults vanished for about 2 months but a few days ago have returned and the parking brake has been working all the time when needed. Now sometimes the faults vanish and then return. Pulling the 40A fuses and refitting seems to effect a short term cure. Has anyone had the same trouble please?
Regards, phil.self

I had similar messages and it was all caused by a failed ABS sensor - had it replaced by the RAC as they did it at home so saved me a day out at an OPC.
