Awesome video, Jeff. Just bought my wife a used Macan S and noticed a leak, but of course dealer will not accept responsibility. This video gives me hope. I might share it with mechanics as I shop around to see if I can have the work done without having to take out a loan. 😝
There are 2 others. It’s an at least 4 bolt fix. Pop the plastic engine cover and you will see them. One on each side. They shear the same way. The passenger side a bit tougher as the PCV valve hose is in the way. Yes the T30 bits love to disappear even if you pop the belly pan you won’t find them.
This kind of replacement, required to take the entire motor out of the bay and work with the motor free. This cost about 7-8K. A 2016 Macan Turbo 50K. But because Y got an extended warranty. Not the ones that cost $500.00 but 5K. Your mechanic will submit all the necessary changes that your unit needs and a certified porsche insurance tech. either recommend or not the payment. This is usually approved by goods honorable warranties. Now the other side of the story is that Porsche is putting together a "recall" to replace these 9 aluminum screws that can produce a catrastofic oil leak and damage the timing chain. I wasn't going to wait for Porsche, so I went to a certified boutique Porsche shop that only used genuine Porsche parts. It took 2 weeks to complete the job, along with changing brake pads and calipers painting. LRO
15:20 same here… plenty of nooks for dropped tools and bolts to hide. Thanks for the walkthrough!
You are absolutely the man i followed your exact instructions and that rubber hose trick is amazing make sure to get the rubber hose before starting
Thank you, Jeff, you’ve given me the confidence to have a go at this repair myself. Excellent, no nonsense video👍

Did u fix leak yourself ? How bad was the leak?
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!
WHAT A BEAST. Doing this job here soon
i think the rubber hose trick is the little gem here, coupled with a glue gun, the back part comes out easily
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU SIR!

Hi Jeff what’s the length and size of the replacement bolts?

good trck remove broken bolt
does it really stop leaking? porche here in germany charges 8400€ for the repair :-P
Is it usually just them two bolts? or does it sometimes require front end pull to repair more than the two bolts shown in your video?
just two bolts
Dealer just fixed mine under warranty 😅
please give me the measurement of screws , and does it have to be aluminum ?
new bolts should be steel, not aluminum
@@rickross6368 You are correct - the new screws are steel, that way they don't break.
i buy alot part and tool scanner from them
Is this just a😂n issue with the 6 Cylinder Macans? Do the 2.0/2.9 Cylinder suffer from this as well?
