I have a 2005 Macan and I like it apart from I find the steering very heavy and I was thinking is their any way of adjusting it so that it feels better to drive ????????
 
Macan was launched in 2014.

Porsche promoted the steering to have been engineered for sporty and immediate handling and tuning of the electromechanical steering system making Macan models agile. It contributes to low fuel consumption and, as there is no hydraulic system constantly drawing power, energy is consumed only when the steering is turned.

Optionally Power Steering Plus is a speed sensitive power steering system. At high speeds, the steering firms up and responds with greater precision, while steering comfort remains outstanding. At low speeds, the steering ratio adjusts for easy manoeuvring and parking. I don't believe PPS can be retro-fitted, but you could check this with your PC.

If it has developed recently, it may be a fault in the system. Track rods, ball joints and wheel castor can become damaged by potholes etc. so these should also be checked out.

Try increasing tyre pressures slightly or fit a different set of boots to see if that helps.

Regards,

Clive
