Default Macan 2.0 2019 idle rpm fluctuation

2019 Macan 2.0
Mileage: 72k miles on the clock

This morning I heard that the engine started a little unevenly and I kept looking at the rpm indicator. Noticed that rpms were slightly fluctuating while being idle.

Here's the video:

Is this something that is within a normal range or I might run into an expensive repair soon?

That seems pretty normal to me.

If you really want to drill into it, were spark plugs changed at 60k miles and double check for vacuum leaks.

That looks pretty steady to me, the fluctuation is minimal.

I just glanced through the Porsche service book and found it odd that the spark plugs haven't been changed yet. While some say the fluctuations are normal, I've noticed slight vibrations at idle, which prompt me to double-check with the technicians.

At 72K, the plugs should have been changed twice, at 30 and 60. Maybe that is your best bet. BTW, my 2020 base has slight fluctuations similar to yours. Normal.
