@@user-tw9pw6hc9oI’m not sure if there is any quality difference. Febi, in my experience, sells high quality products, so I have no concerns. But to truly answer your question, it will require more research. I don’t always use Febi. There are other brands that are very good as well. I just like the convenience of buying my parts at FCPEuro, especially with their lifetime replacement warranty.

@@vo2098 These were new OEM bolts. I sourced them separately at a Porsche dealer. You want to use new bolts as these are torque to yield. Bolts part numbers are in the video description.

But the product page says we can reuse the bolts….if I’m not mistaken. But of course ideal to use new.

@@vo2098 I would not reuse. These are torque to yield. Especially for subframe bolts, you want to be sure these are not going to fail. Having said that, I have seen people reusing them… but not sure about longevity.

@@lalala12345678900987 The filling capacity I show in the video is the dry filling capacity (4.1L), so it will take less oil when you are actually changing the oil. As long as you used the filling methodology I show (waiting some time in between short fills) and then seeing oil coming out of the fill port, you should be fine because the oil should be at appropriate level. If you are concerned, drive it for a while, then open the fill port and check if oil is still coming out. If not, fill again until it comes out… it should not take that much oil at that time.

@@porscheDIY Thank you. You have been a very valuable resource, please keep it up with the videos!

@@oxfordsaudia2183 If you go to about minute 15:00 of the video, you will see that I’m installing a modified duct to the car ducting system. Prior to that I remove the original duct. That new duct re-routes the air to the lower part of the unit. It is fairly good.

@@christopherdavies7213 The level sensor (with the green lever) I was manipulating in the video in order to take filter out is going to control the headlights positioning. PDLS uses that information to level the headlight projector up and down. If you are seeing variability in the oil level, and as long as it is between the min and max, I would give it time. If you are seeing level going above max or below min, I would bring it to service again as soon as possible. BTW… thanks for your kind words and support. I hope you subscribe to the channel…

Thanks for your kind words. Glad you found it useful.

@@blancA4blanc As long as you follow the procedure and oil is coming out of filling port at temperature, then you should be fine. Thanks for your kind words.

Did you solve your issue? There is a wire that had a RCA connector which connects to the rear of the unit… you connect that yellow RCA to the RCA plug coming out of the Quad cable adapter. To test, you need to release e-brake and put in reverse. If that doesn’t work, you need to go into settings (hidden menu) and make sure you select the right camera configuration. If you have 360, you need to select that. If you have rear view, then select rear view only. The passcode for hidden menu is 3368.

On the sound, make sure you check wiring on the MOST25 converter box. See video again.

@@porscheDIY will check thx!

@@porscheDIY Is that different for pcm 4.0? I have a connector with double optics cable going to the pcm 4.0 converter box

@@dannythebest1008 Oh, I didn’t know you had PCM4.0. PCM4.0 uses MOST150 and you will need a specific converter box for MOST150. Most of the converter boxes out there are for MOST25, which is what PCM3.1 use. Did you tell the seller that you had PCM4 and that you needed a MOST150 converter?

I recently switched to Redline for my transfer case oil. Working very well. But haven’t tried AMSOIL.

@@porscheDIY Ok thanks for the info sir

@@OmarRebaza You will need to remove the throttle valve and intake plenum to get access to the 4 bolts you need to remove from the top of the housing, which secures the housing to the engine block. One of these 4 bolts is below one of the smallest tubings coming out of the housing so you will probably have to remove that tubing from the housing to get access. You will also need to disconnect the 3 hoses that go into the housing. Once you remove the 4 bolts, you should be able to lift the housing enough to replace the 2 o-rings on the engine block. Sorry to hear. This is a pretty involved job, but doable.

@@porscheDIY I knew you were the man. Yes, there are some clips with wires over those the four bolts. Some of the hoses are very short and hard to bend, but I will use your guidance to get that thing off. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Update: It was indeed a pain in rear to remove the four bolts (of death) that hold the thermostat housing. The housing loose now; however, there is a long pipe that comes from the rear of the housing towards the firewall. It's about 18-20 inches long. It is connected to another hose with a clamp and that will be very tough to remove. Any idea on how to best remove that pipe (it comes straight out of the middle of the backside of the housing.

@@porscheDIY Update: The thermostat housing came out! Oh my God, it was a tedious process. The gaskets were cooked. I am cleaning the housing now but it is almost 2am. More to come tomorrow.

@@Bon-mz5kb I guess I don’t understand your statement. Your statement seems to contradict itself… can you please explain what you mean, in technical terms, and what is the information you are using to draw your conclusions? But, isn’t that the whole purpose of Sport Plus to begin with? The hack is just a way to activate Sport Plus (the real sport plus, not some fake sport plus… this can be confirmed by the ability of the Macan to activate launch control, which is a feature only present with sport chrono/sport plus). Sport Plus does change the throttle dynamics and ECU mapping in the Macan to accomplish the more aggressive response you describe. The only thing that is not activated with this hack is the PCM/MFD sport chrono functions. The rest of the sport chrono functions, and what I would say is the most important which is the activation of sport plus and launch control, is activated with this hack. Thanks for watching and for your support!

Yes… is unbelievable…. Thanks for the kind words.

@@rodrigovolks3943 is your camera not working anymore? I didn’t have to add a long code when I code my camera. You just add the camera and go through the appropriate routine in maintenance tab.

@@porscheDIY It doesn't work anymore! It lost the binary coding... everything is in zero 0... as I saw that we have the same model and part number, I would like to try to include it manually.

@@rickyfredericks9694 Wow! Thanks for sharing your story! Yes, those squeaky noises should not be ignored for long. In my case, I wanted to confirm that the noise was actually coming from the pump, so I used a stethoscope and it was in fact the pump. A good way to confirm. You can also use a long screwdriver against the pump and placing your ear on the handle (to hear).

@@porscheDIY Thanks for the tip, and for your videos..They have helped me a lot as i had earlier rebuilt my macan from a collision..🙂

@@kenwei58 Great, good to know. How did you solve your ADB connection issue? Did you have to follow the additional instructions I posted in the description?

@@porscheDIY Yes , I follow your additional instruction copy the config.txt and LSEC files into usb devise , connect to my android usb port then it start updating new config.txt file with “service.adb.tcp.port=5555” . eventually I could use remote adb to modify parameter you describe in video step by step . very appreciate your help !

This is in the video description (copied here for your convenience).. Try this to see if it works. If you have a timeout try running this command with a Terminal application (you can download a terminal app from the Google store) "setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555" it will enable ADB listening on port 5555 then restart If the issue persist, open your config.txt and add the following line "service.adb.tcp.port=5555", then copy the config.txt and LSEC files into a FAT32 formatted usb drive and connect it to the USB data port. Let it install and then reboot. This should take care of the issue. If you can't find your config.txt files, you can use the one in the following link (which is generic): th-cam.com/users/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmNpWGUyb2dIU3F6aGU1U2dpQ0Nock1zNEo5QXxBQ3Jtc0trMnRCeC1YWS0wYXhnWVNCZXQ3UlBRbml0NnpwbjZyQWhTYmczTlROUUtZVE9IU0lkZGpjazZJTFJMWEZtbjhVbFY4TFpYcjBvWVBBTzljcE54ZWdsbS03SnZSUWw1R0FJeUg0UW93eG5rbGpKRl9GYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Fdrive%2Ffolders%2F1Pt0SDB-sATC3o4NAC6ZY7ptId-paychO&v=Nk9kdunzBcI As an alternative, install the FET tool app in following link, open config.txt and add the following line “service.adb.tcp.port=5555”, then save and reboot: github.com/hvdwolf/FET

If you look at the video, you’ll see that you will still have access to Canbus related controls from the Android unit. But you will lose certain things that you have with PCM. In my case, and most of who have done this change, these are things that are really not important and never used and actually don’t even miss right now. You will also lose communication between PCM and MFD. There is a wire that connects between the two that you won’t be using anymore. That is sending nav and music information to the MFD.

When I replaced the two timing chain bolts for the first time, it continued leaking (although less) after. The leak was coming through the new bolt thread. I decided to get high temperature thread sealant from a local Autozone. Removed the bolt, added the sealant to the threads, and reinstalled/retorqued. Waited 24 hours, and then tested again. To this day (3 or 4 years after) no leak. On the other question, I have only experienced some low level sweating of the valve cover gasket. Not enough to be considered a leak. I cleaned it and it hasn’t come back. So I left it alone. This is not as common as the timing chain cover leak, but it happens. Thanks for your kind words and for your support!

I was planning on changing the serpentine belt with this job (I have the new one), but decided to delay. The current belt seems OK, but it is in my list to do. I’m gonna probably have to remove the radiator fan module to get more space there. I don’t think it can be done without creating that space.

@@porscheDIY It can be done, but it's much better to put the vehicle into 'service position' which requires removing the bumper etc. Porsche designed it this way and it's a good idea for getting in there anyway to remove any dirt or road debris that may have built up into the condensor, radiators, etc. Frankly, this WHOLE job is usually easier for the DIY person, to just do it all at once. It's a full days work for the average garage mechanic but it takes care of 'most' of the common problem and wear items and avoids you needing to do the same tasks multiple times.

Thanks man! Much appreciated.

If your Macan can be configured with Sport Chrono and Sport Plus as a diesel. I’m assuming that there are Macan diesel with sport chrono option, then it should work.

My pleasure! Thanks for watching and for your support.

They are not used. These wires provide power to LED components of the vents… so they light up a bit at night. But this unit doesn’t have any LED lights on the vents.

Thanks. Much appreciated. Contact me in Macan Forum via PM (santirx) please.

Thanks man! Getting tools organized takes a lot of time, but the time saved after is probably 10-fold. First time I did this job in 2021 it took me like 6 hours. This time I did it in 2. As always thank you for watching and for your support!

@@porscheDIY very appreciate your support ,thank you .

I have Launch X431 and the Otofix D1 Max. Both of them can do the job, and both lines offer very affordable units. You can’t go wrong with either. If you intend to code, then you need to make sure that your scanner is ECU coding capable. If you just want to reset things like oil service and look for faults, there are inexpensive scanners that can do that.

@@1000raulm This is a good observation. You may be correct in which there may be a dead leg or spot inside the evaporator which not allow full drainage. This is a common issue in high mileage Macans. It happened with mine. I basically inundated the evaporator with Klima cleaner to be able to get rid of the odor. The drain tubing I believe comes out towards the side of the transmission/transfer case…. Passenger side. That general area. But maybe if you take the cabin filter out, you could explore the drain area with a borescope. I’ll do that next time I’ll replace the cabin filter.

Thanks for replying. I’ve read of many people experiencing the same issue with their hvac but no one has been able to figure out what’s causing the problem. I’m almost certain the water I saw dripping came out of the hvac. I’m sure water drips on the tc belly pan, but it should evaporate overnight specifically since it drips on the heat shield. Resolving this mystery will help many macan owners out there. BTW: can the evaporator foam cleaner be sprayed also through the upper vents? Thanks again.

@@1000raulm I opened the filter housing and removed the cabin filter. Then attached the sprayer straw/tubing to the tip of my borescope so that I could see what I was doing inside. I put a towel on the floor mat to collect spills. Introduced the borescope with the straw(tubing) until I was able to see the heat exchanger and then started spraying like crazy. I emptied 2 cans. Then I let it drain for a few minutes, and then turned AC on high for about 15 minutes. Then reinstalled cabin filter and close the lid. I was able to see foamy water draining through the drain at the bottom of the car. This is what I used: a.co/d/eBnSOzf I would not recommend introducing the foam via the vents. No guarantee that you will clean the actual heat exchanger. The way I did it was very effective and the odor hasn’t returned yet after over a year. You could also introduce a bit of antibacterial Lysol into the AC intake which is located on the cowl. That doesn’t help as much… in my case odor would return in a matter of weeks using this method.

@@porscheDIY excellent thanks.

Great tips in this comment. Thank you. Sorry to hear about the axle boot. Yeah, for me, since I have air suspension, next time I do this (if I need to) I’ll empty the bags into the air suspension system tank.

It doesn't have to. come out. I would recommend that you cut the hose/tubing as much as you can get to, and secure the rest with a tie wrap. I just removed it so that it wasn't dangling and making sounds when hitting stuff. As long as you secure it, you will be fine.

@@q8botaha links to all the parts used are in the description of my video. Thanks for watching!

Hi. Thanks for your question. Technically, it doesn’t matter. If you only have Sport and Sport+ (and BTW, I think PSM is standard, so you would have that as well). What would happen is that the 3 first buttons of your keypad will work, with the last two doing nothing. The signal is sent by the order in the keypad, no matter what it says in the label. So I can technically use my new keypad with the 5 buttons, and assign only 4 functions. If that is the case, I would lose sport+ which is the second button, and that button would now be chassis, etc… with the last button on the keypad being nonfunctional. So, the buttons in the keypad are just buttons. The functionality of these buttons is stored in the module.

Thanks for your kind words. I’m still editing the upper control arms replacement video…. Hopefully will come out before you do yours…. Good luck.
