2017 Macan 2.0L front brake calipers are a dull flat black finish compared to rear gloss black finish.Vehicle has 3000 miles.Normal or not.Thanks.

Stock finish on the calipers sometimes are bad, you can get them refinished, maybe a different color...

Mine has the same thing, I'm going to ask my dealer about this as it must be somewhat common. Also, keep an I on your wheel bearings. Myself and another are both getting our 2017 Macan 2.0 L car's wheel bearings replaced. They have already a upgrade to the wheel bearings.

Received answer on front caliper finish from Porsche.During a recall for fuel gasket .i asked about front brake caliper finish,service writer was not aware but looked at others and said there all the same.Porsche USA tells me the finish is different because the calipers are a different size. I feel they understand there's a problem but don't want to admit because then they would have to correct.Maybe just not enough complaints.

I am trying to get them to replace mine as well. Its disappointing

Could you tell me any info you have regarding the bearings? I hear a noise from my front wheels. Im concerned it might be bearings.

Merging the two threads you started on the dull brake caliper finish.

Porsche has agreed to replace my front calipers due to the dulling/discoloring making them different from the rear

Mine are different finish but it doesn't bother me. The front finish is not as smooth. Figure I can deal with it until I replace it with a 2020 GTS

I am doing the same thing however I have a good relationship with my service dept and they got Porsche to replace them when it went in for some other warranty work.

I can't say that I have a good relationship with my Service Dept. It's been a real frustrating experience for me. Getting an appointment took me months. They were disjointed and unorganized when I did get in. Passed me around to different service agents and I never got answers to a couple of problems/questions. I did see my comments were written up so if anything does come up again in those areas, I can say told you so. This is a different dealer than where I bought the car. Shouldn't make a difference right? They treated me like a red haired stepchild. I also wonder if the service load for the increased number of cars they're selling is effecting the quality of their service. I have 4 dealers in the area to chose from. I think I'll take my car somewhere else next time.

Have seen this on a few of our shop's Macans.... avoid wheel acid during car washes! certainly doesn't help

Would recommend trying your dealer of choice first to have them run it by their porsche rep to see if PCNA will help, if not, weekend project!!! (if you're up to it / able)

Cheers
