- What’s up everyone today we are working on a 2015 Porsche macan S, I was at work and noticed a puddle of coolant under my car, after closer inspection I noticed it was leaking do
Ron the coolant vent hose on the cylinder head under the intake.
This job is not extremely difficult if you have experience as a mechanic. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who is brand new. Im not responsible if your break your car fixing it.
If you like the video feel free to check my other ones, and leave a comment, thank you! - Авто та транспорт
Very helpful. Used this tutorial on our 2017 Cayenne S. The last connection at the firewall was not fun -the slight increase in size of the cayenne made the reach that much more tricky. Thanks for this.
This was such a great video! Thank you so much 😁
Thank you for your step by step video. I am going to replace the hose next saturday on my car :-).
Done! 🙂
Awesome!!
Was test driving a 16 Macan S and smelled coolant. Wife likes car but the coolant smell had me concerned. Really want a Macan S. Thanks for the video it was very helpful. Makes me feel more comfortable about the purchase. Looks like that hose should be replaced at regular intervals.
Yeah unfortunately it’s very common and if you own the car for more than 8 years you’ll probably end up doing it again, I think eurowise is prototyping a stainless steel hose solution though
@@regularmechanic4196any word on if they made an aftermarket fix for this yet? I've been looking online and only found the plastic/rubber line on fcp euro
great video, noticed no coolant in 2016 Macan S on Sunday... this is likely the culprit, could not see any leaks near reservoir. Thanks, will check out this location next opportunity I get.
Great video! Thank you for sharing - you made the procedure clear and easy to approach. I've got 60k on my Macan and I'm going to replace the coolant pipe proactively before it fails.
How much coolant should I drain from the engine before starting the project? I'm concerned about getting it refilled properly since the instructions that I've seen require the use of a vacuum system to draw trapper air out of the system. Can I bleed it with out the vacuum tools? What is the procedure? Thanks!
What a complete pain in the ass. I am going to build my own setup with silicone hose and a brass T. I don't want to have to do this again anytime soon lol. Glad you showed us how this comes apart.
Great video. Just did this in my wife’s 2014 Panamera 4S and used the video as a tutorial. Same engine, same setup. Very helpful. Does this make me a UA-cam certified Porsche mechanic now? Haha.
Haha yeah it does!!
thanks for the help man!!!
Thank you so much, Sir!
Nice work. I did that job along with all the other problems on this POS 1st gen Macan. It was my first and my last Porsche. I've never been so disappointed in a vehicle.
How do you get the harness off to get hidden bolt
@@ajcazares3638it’s clipped in. you push the clip and lift it up carefully and it should move out of the way
Btw great video. The thing my cousins is charging me 500$. I bought the t vent btw.
Great Stuff....;-) Very Helpful
No need for disconnecting battery? No codes after the work? I have a Cayenne gts 2016 and I’m having the same issue. Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Did you replace the manifold gaskets when putting it back together?
Hello thanks for the video! It's been a really great help thus far. I have a question though, what tourqe specs did you use for the eight t30 bolts that secure the intake manifold ? And was there a tightening sequence ?
It’s 15NM, around 11ish FT lbs, you work from the center out.
If you look up on google macan factory service manual you can actually find a downloadable version.
What other hoses should I replace since we are at it??
great job bro I was wondering did you change intake gasket ,thank you
I did not, they are re usable as long as they are not rock hard. The part number is 94611014660
Thanks for a great tutorial! I just found mine leaking on the opposite side. Seems like an all too common failure and a very sketchy design. They should have used better material that could tolerate the heat and not become so brittle.
First off, great video thanks for posting. A couple of questions please and thanks
How long did you work on the removal and re-install - how many hours?
What is you level of expertise? Any comparison for difficulty level for this repair? The amount of part removals… looks quite extensive. Would like to tackle this part replacement… any insight on the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
All the best.
It took me about an hour, I’ve been working on Porsches a few years but for difficulty I’d say it’s a 4 out of 10 as long as you have some skills as a mechanic you should have no problem with this. Just alot if being careful and observant where things are going/ were at.
Thank you for the reply, ENG by profession so hoping skill set and or ability to solve is there - I believe I’ll give it a go. Cheers
So did you drain any coolant before starting this? Vacuum refill? Or just top off and hope it bleeds out any air from the new line? Appreciate you putting this DIY together.
I did not drain any coolant since it all came out with the leak. I topped it off and bled by running the car to temp with the cap off letting the air escape.
WOW! What a video and what an experience. Let me start by saying that I hate plastic clips: mainly that throttle body and those clips for the wire harness for the last hidden bolt all the way in the back. I broke that clip for the harness. Second, I hate hose clamps, especially the one that holds the single end of the T hose. And I hate just as much that clamp for the fuel line. Now that I've vented... great video and insight. I was able to finish the job in 4 hours, 3 just fighting clips and clamps. I dropped the rear right manifold bolt and could find it, a magnet saved the day. My respect to mechanics and my utmost admiration for their saint-like patience with this stuff.
My Macan GTS seems to be back in order. Does anyone know how much a Porsche dealership would have charged for this?
4k in Canada
I saw on Facebook someone was quoted 4,200 for this job
Costed about 4k at Greenwich, CT Porsche. I’m so pissed after 1k miles later I noticed a leak still under the car while it was parked for about a week smh.
Not sure my comment posted so trying again. Great video. How did you free off the rear harness to get at that last bolt, I’ve tried but am fearful I’m going to break something.
There’s a clip that you can include to move the harness slightly, it was a pain in the butt to get to and I admittedly broke mine. Nothing a zip tie couldn’t fix
@@regularmechanic4196 many thanks
Hey. Just had the same hose replaced. It burst on me though spewing coolant everywhere. So I have a few questions.
1. If the coolant gets into sensitive electrical connections will it cause engine faults?
2. If the coolant system wasn’t bleed properly, will it cause coolant tank to get low?
3. Will the smell of coolant linger for a while after repairing?
@regular mechanic
Coolant getting on the connectors shouldn’t be an issue because they are water tight. If it does get in it’s possible can cause faults. If you don’t bleed properly initially the air will eventually find its way out, when it does the tank will get lower, just top it up if it does. The smell should only last a few days, if it’s been weeks and you still smell coolant you may have another leak or did not clean enough from the V of the engine and it’s taking longer to dissipate.
How much would cost this labor??
Took it apart, Coolant T was the issue. Put it back together and she won't start. Also got a "Reduced engine power, driving permitted" warning.
I’d check any and all electrical plugs, and check the throttle body and intake hose. I’m betting it’s something simple
How do you remove the small 1/8" hoses attached to the first and second solenoids? I think the video skipped over that? is it one of those very small squeeze clips?
I’d have to remember which ones you are talking about, I believe they were clipped on
@@regularmechanic4196 You were right about those smaller hoses, they did require squeezing, mine was coated in dried-up coolant so needed to be careful with some pliers.
Also, I ultimately had to give up on that rear bolt behind the harness, my harness would not lift up to be moved out of the way. The shop I ultimately dropped it off at said it took them almost an hour to get to it. Maybe they used a different clip style between years?
@@chevrolet1616 You do not need to remove that bolt behind the harness. Just pop that bracket holding hose up and pull so you can release clip with pliers and remove it from the hose. Installing new just get locking pliers they will fit behind the harness to squeeze clamp then insert new hose holding hose with other hand behind the harness. Also you do not need to disconnect that fuel line hose that gas squirted in the video. It can stay on when pushing everything to the left. Also you do not need to disconnect wire connector from the first cilynoid
what product do you use to clean your hands after working on your cars?
Dawn dish soap 😎
Where are you located at in Texas? Working out here in the summer heat just takes a true warrior lol
I’m in San Antonio it’s hot as hell haha
mine just failed. its crazy how all the vidoes about coolant leaks for the macan all points to this part!!! :(
Is this the same for a 2017 Porsche macan gts
Yes
How TF did you get wiring harness off to get the last torque bolt out
Please help
Sorry for the late reply, I used a king extension on my ratchet to reach it it’s pretty deep in there
You do not need to remove it. just pull the hose towards yourself and you can remove it after you see and release clamp
How did you locate the leakage? Having the similar issue.
It was exactly the issue. Thank you very much!
Sorry for late reply, mine was leaking right at the head and I was able to visually see it
how did you bleed line?
You must have a vacuum system for coolant. It will suck all the air out of the system as well as test your system to make sure you have no leaks.
that last screw is impossible to get to. Was 99% done but never was able to finish it.
I just had a deposit on the turbo model and seeing this now I am worried.
