macan diesel vs petrol issues and other question

[Trustmeimadoctor]

hi,
im starting to look at macans to replace an e class estate we dont really need the space there are only 2 of us.

budget wise i didnt want to spend any more than 25k and that gives us a fair few options of both diesel and petrol S models

heat say petrol head says diesel even though we dont do huge mileage these days say 10k a year

but after been stung with a not overly cheap adblue system failure on the merc i really dont want those issues on top of the transfer case issue

question 1
how common are adblue/dpf issues on the macan

question 2
the 7 year warranty on the transfer box, is that from build only or does it get a new 7 year one after every time its replaced?

question 3
what economy are you getting in your 3.0 petrol or diesels going from 47 ish in the merc to 22 in a petrol may be a bit much

smallest journey is 12 miles that it will typically do and thats 4 times a week usually and we dont live in a city


quick calc
10k 47mpg diesel current
£1497

37mpg diesel
£1901

27mpg petrol
£2606

22mpg petrol
£3199



spec im after is
18 way seats
PCM
air suspension
not red leather or not extended or full leather if red
bose as a minimum

would like cooled seats but that seems very rare
not bothered about chrono pack im not going to be needing launch control

anything else i should be looking out for?

and any advice would be great

Went to see a really nice spec diesel today
It was not good at all front tyres very close to needing replaced, badly touched up big scratches on door very noisy pano roof and the tailgate sounded like it was eating rocks

It really wasn't 25k's worth at all but as always looked good in photos

Oh and a 3 hour round trip

Big difference between you 2 with the petrol ones around town!

I'm quite happy with air being bobby I'd be wanting to run it on 18's too most of the time

looks great in the red!

i wish it was easier to find cars with options as autotrader doesnt always find them depending where they list them or even if they do list them and what did they actually call it as searching for suspension brings up all sorts but mainly pasm
