    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

    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.

    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?
