Many modern cars, even some Porsche models have the starter under the intake, buried in the V of the V8 engine. From what I heard it is common on cars that have the engine stop at every stop light. I have no idea where it is on the Macan. It is a 4 cylinder engine so I don't think it is buried in there. It does have the engine off at a stop feature, but we turned that "feature" off on the first day. The first time I ever drove the Macan I went around our very short neighborhood and the engine quit. I started cussing at the cheap pos that can't run, then when I let off the brakes, it started. I remembered that "feature" and we had to read the manual, but that is turned off. I guess if we did lost of stop and go traffice in a mild climate, it might make sense. Not for our driving.
