For your Macan, all you need is a good DVOM, spare fuses, some spare wire, heat shrink, and a battery powered soldering iron.
Everything else that could go wrong mechanically call for a tool kit consisting of a cyanide pill and a rusty can of beer to wash it down with.
Seriously, when I am going on off road or long trips in my Toyotas, I take a handful of my Snap-On tools: a 12mm14mm double box wrench, a 10-11 mm DB wrench, a crescent wrench, two stubby screwdrivers, Phillips and slot, side cutters, and a medium channel lock pliers. All can be wrapped in a single shop towel, secured with rubber bands and thrown under the seat. When I get back, they go back in the box. I take a roll of duct tape, zip ties, a couple of hose clamps, and that's it. Nothing like digging through a large kit of poorly made and mostly useless tools only to find out on first use that the fastener you got one shot at is now buggered from the tool.
