@@gohan51383 I haven’t been able to identify the part because this L-quick connect is part of a larger hose assembly. There are a bunch that look very similar in Amazon but I haven’t try them yet. Mine, which I took out of the old hose, is working well and holding. So I have no plans to change it, at least for now. BTW… thanks for your kind words.

@@porscheDIY I will see if I can find the part and share the part number if I can find it. Im going to have to try this DIY now since my hose is split open and all the coolant leaked out. I am guessing it put my macan in limp mode and therefore I am unable to drive it now.

@@gohan51383 you can install the hose into the vent valve using a clamp for now… or you can try the old L-quick connect. And then if you find the right L-quick connect, you can do that later. Please share what you find here. I examined the L-quick connect that I removed from the old hose and I’m reusing now, and all markings make reference to the plastic material and not a part number.

@@cocollinz I’m not sure. I don’t have Android, but will ask some folks in the forum that are using this unit with Android.

@@cocollinz I got confirmation from someone using Android Auto that unit does support wired/wireless for Android Auto.

@@user-tw9pw6hc9o If the tuning had failed, it is very possible that these old fittings are not reusable. If you are doing this preventively, then there is a possibility to reuse… you should replace the o-rings.

@@victoro6310 yes. Still have them. Good mod.

I’m not sure what you asked and the translator is not doing a good job. But if you are asking where I bought this, I got it in AliExpress. Unfortunately DaiNav doesn’t exist anymore but there are other sellers there selling these. Just make sure you ask for photos of the actual unit they will be shipping to you, so that you can confirm is the same one you think you are buying. Some of these AliExpress sellers are notorious for bait and switch.

ECS Tuning. Check the video, I show it there and explain how you identify which specific switch you would need to buy.

@@keithm5379 good luck!

@@keithm5379 I didn’t get a wheel alignment immediately. Theoretically, you are not modifying any alignment parameters with this job, as you are not adjusting any of the alignment bolts/cams. Unless you remove those control arms. Alignment is a pretty standard process, and Porsche is not the exception. Is not like you have a race car. When you look at the Macan from the underside, is like looking at an Audi Q5, except the engine area. I have done coarse alignment of my car myself using a laser level, and I have been able to get it in the ballpark. You can have someone else align it, but I would use a reputable Indy shop to do it. You can always use the dealer if you like.

@@porscheDIY Thank you. Seems like the hardest part is wrestling with that big long bolt. By the way, Porsche dealership wanted $2100 to do the passenger rear wheel bearing and 4 wheel alignment. I like the idea of doing it myself because I get to keep the tools that I purchase for the job.

@@keithm5379 I go through the tools for the job in the front bearing replacement video. For the center bolt, I used a torque multiplier. It is pretty expensive, but worth every penny. I had been able to use the torque multiplier multiple times now for many jobs…. Makes taking high torque bolts off and on very easy. That hub bolt is one of them… but also the shock absorber bolt to bearing carrier is a high torque bolt as well.

@@keithm5379 look for me either in Macanforum.com or 718forum.com. I’m santirx. Send a private message and then we can figure out how to continue communicating.

Thanks for your kind words and for your support!

If you look at the description, you will see exact part numbers you need. I’m not reusing parts. All parts are needed.

@@porscheDIY Thx, I'm a bit of a boomer, I'll take another look.

OK. Parts have arrived. Only bit, I'm unsure of is at about 7m48s you have a little bag and use these at rear of the spoiler ? I don't have these. Can elaborate ? Thanks. Your video has been very helpful.

@@wjones3492 these are the original clips that were included in the kit I got from Suncoast. I could only use those clips in 4 locations. Then, I used the clips I got from Amazon for the rest of the locations because supplied clips would not fit. I think you can reuse these 4 clips as they are the same you will be removing from your current trim. Just be careful removing these clips so that you don’t break them and can reuse them.

Perfect, Thanks. Wayne.

I’m not sure about Cayenne, but you could check the following one: Just found this amazing item on AliExpress.

You would need to buy the fiber decoder separately. Like the Amazon one I recommend. This is good because they would normally provide one that is very bad, so you don’t have to pay for that.

@@porscheDIY Thanks a lot for your help, I have purchased and installed the head unit and the fiber optic decoder you recommended, but now I have an issue with the sound the fader is not working! All speakers work together without any surrounding sound and you feel all sound coming from the front speakers, but when I try to move the sound to the back speakers no sound works only the subwoofer! Is this normal with aftermarket head units or there something I need to do to enable the fader? I spoke to the seller on AliExpress and they told me the issue is front the fiber optic decoder! I appreciate if you could help out with this.

@@AbdullahAlDokhiiL that’s normal with these aftermarket units.

Can you post a link with the unit photo?

I have posted the link but don't know how to post pictures here

@porscheDIY I should perhaps clarify my question. You had both units installed one with restricted vents and one with less restricted vents. Was the airflow very different between the two, or was it similar?

@@aqeelrana6678 very different. The air flow now is much better and less restricted. The prior unit is not good. If they are sending you that type of unit, I would cancel order and make sure you are buying the same type I have.

@porscheDIY Thank you for your time and reply. I have found the one you use the second time around. I will order it. Just for information, people should always ask for a product picture first before ordering anything on Aliexpress. Lesson learnt.

Thanks for your support!

@@user-ki3ev2qj4j when you start hearing high pitch noise coming from the wheels. Or other strange noises. A shop can help you diagnose issues with bearings. How many miles? You probably won’t have to worry about this until after 150K miles or so…

@@porscheDIY hm. Ok. I have some kind of noise coming from what seems to the front right. Sounds like something rotating, high pitch noise. Sounds similar to a washingmachine accelerating its rotation. Approx. 80.000 miles (~130.000km).

@@meseahunt Of course… Husky tools from Home Depot though…😂 and my Macan didn’t cost that much…. Back in 2014 I was among the first 7000 owners in the US, and my Macan S cost was about $58K…. I loaded it up with $10K more in options, so $68K…. So, more appropriate for the huskys, don’t you think?…😂…. In any case, whether I have a $68K Macan or a $200K 911 Turbo S, which I don’t have, I would be getting my hands dirty…. Nothing better than working in your own cars…. 😉

@@porscheDIY i am confused on the bolts for the rear, normally u show your new parts but not this time? are the two bolts just bolts or is there a balance weight bolt(s)? is that NV dealer you use reliable/why did u choose them? send me some contact info or which online is reliable that you have found, it has been a confusing morning trying to get accurate part info/numbers so that i can order the front a rear and am trying to get the correct trans bolt(s) as well..... thanks 🤠

@@porscheDIY for some reason all of your comments/replies are not being alerted to me?? did you change some settings??

Use this one… you’ll be able to do it in one step and very easy to plunge: a.co/d/0bjVGpFU

I haven’t done that yet.

Thanks for the support!

I haven’t seen or didn’t find a way to do that. Thanks for your support!

I didn’t know the Cayenne GTS shared same engine as the Macan, but looking at it, they in fact look identical. When you search for coolant vent parts on your Cayenne (I just did), you’ll find that your engine uses exactly the same tubing PN 94610602660. So, I would think you’d have the same issues. Hey, thanks for letting us know!

Do you have Bose or an aftermarket amp? The output levels and channel gains are set in the amplifier, and if you have Bose there is no access to it. I think you can have some control over subwoofer from the unit, but I think that’s it. The DSP in the unit allows you to tune the audio using a number of frequency ranges. It is more helpful than the PCM3.1 which only has treble and bass. I don’t think this is a function of the CANBUS. CANBUS is the interface with car functions. And you do have the right selection in the CANBUS. You can get now a SPDIF to MOST conversion box in AliExpress. I will post link later on. But I can tell you that the Amazon box, although it uses the analog input, it has more definition in its output.

@@porscheDIY Thanks. I've written to the seller for help. They are the ones who asked about CANBUS but might not have know if that was the correct issue to chase. I've also asked about 3 other things. #1 - The right screen of the instrument cluster shows the radio station playing. If I push the rotary knob, I go to the next screen that should list programmed channels. But programmed channels do not list (they should). I can scroll the knob in one direction to change channels down numerically, but not up. #2 is that zoning does not work. No matter where I set the bias (back right, left front) the music always sounds the same. #3 is that My SIM card does not read. I'll let you know if they have any helpful feedback.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It really changes and modernizes the cabin interior.

Thanks man! Much appreciated.

Wow! Thanks for the information.

Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks. I believe you solved your issue, right?

@@porscheDIY Somebody else wrote that he plugged the cable into the base unit and the screen and THEN started the car (added power). That worked.

There is no installation manual. Did you follow my installation video? Did you have PCM3.1 with Bose? If so, did you wire the MOST25 converter appropriately?

@@porscheDIY I just managed to do that :) sound works great now. But still trying to figure out my rear view camera

@@astrokok Rear view camera is a yellow RCA connector that comes out of the quad hardness adapter, and it connects to another wire that goes to the rear of the unit. You’ll see that in my video. If the connection is OK, then a few things you need to check. You need to go to hidden menu in settings (the one that ask you for a passcode), the passcode is 3368, and change rear view camera parameters there. If you have a single rear view camera and the settings are for surround, you will have issues. The settings need to match what you have. If the settings are fine, you need to remember that when placing car in reverse, you need to take e-brake off in order for the camera to activate.

What happened? Did you activated ebrake with the calipers off the rotors? That happened to me accidentally and ripped the boot and started leaking hydraulic fluid. I had no choice but to buy a new caliper. You can try the following… it seems our rear caliper is the same as the VW Tiguan (please confirm): www.vwtiguan.org/634/rear_brake_caliper_servicing.html Give me a few moments while I continue researching this.

@@porscheDIY that is what happened. Looks like N47-0079 is the correct part. I will use that as reference and see who carries it.

@@porscheDIY thank you for the insight!!! you rock man!!!

@@porscheDIY yeah I did. ordered seals from different vendors. 1st one came in has right diameter but prior to extend piston just before it tops out the seal slipped out of pistons groove. Not the right length. Have a video if you want to see it.

New seals came in and same part#. Realized that rotors are new, pads are new and the EPB would have no reason to go beyond full extraction of piston were boot would slip from pistons groove. What are your thoughts or concerns? I’d like your perspective

Thanks for watching and for your support. For gear set I’m now using Redline MTL for FINAL DRIVE OIL - FRONT and it’s been very good as an alternative to the Porsche gear oil. www.redlineoil.com/find-products-for-my-vehicle www.fcpeuro.com/products/manual-transmission-gear-oil-redline-83522-50204#fitment

@@porscheDIY Thanks for the quick reply! That's the same oil I use in my M4's manual transmission. Great to hear that's an option for this use as well! I will get that. One more question if you don't mind. Where do you find part #s for your Macan? Using your DIY videos, I plan to do a full transmission service (w/ both filters+gasket), transfer case, and rear diff service on my wife's GTS (it has 42K miles and none of that has been done yet). FCP lists some of the parts from your Macan as compatible with ours but not others and I want to find the equivalents. For BMW, we have sites like realoem to find part #s. Anything like that for Porsche?

Yes. You still need to mount the hub to the bearing though. But you save the hub removal from the old bearing.

These type of units in AliExpress are all notorious for suboptimal after sales support. Therefore I can’t really recommend any. If you want it, you just have to take the plunge with whatever company sells it. Just make sure they send you actual photos of the unit they will be sending you so that you are sure is the right one you want.

This is a vent line. Its function is not to transport coolant to parts of the engine or transmission, but vent excess pressure/coolant back into the vent valve and coolant reservoir. I inspected this line with a borescope and it goes from the front of the engine to the rear… it makes a left turn, goes to the left side of the engine, makes another left turn and then connects into the vent valve. As far as a good explanation, I don’t have any. I have been driving my car for the past 1000 miles with no issues. Others that have done this have not had any issues either. If you are concerned, you can get a borescope (they are cheap in Amazon) and inspect the full line for yourself. The Macan Forum member that discovered this and develop this repair method had disassembled the engine parts necessary to get full access (including removal of intake plenum). When he was about to replace the tubing, he inspected the full line and realized that it made this strange loop without connecting to anything else.

See my post here so that you can see engine diagrams showing the full vent route (post # 257): www.macanforum.com/threads/coolant-hose-under-the-intake-diy-procedure-included.173262/page-13?post_id=2793349#post-2793349

Hello sir, I thank you very much for your courage in revealing this method which helped me personally... seriously, I did it myself and it worked.... after finishing the whole thing. I took the car to have the oil changed... and there I saw pink oil dripping between the gearbox and the engine... which seriously scared me, I don't know if it was the rest of the coolant in the recorder or the gearbox which is leaking between the gearbox and the engine... exactly like in the photo of the diagram on the forum where there is the red arrow below... thank you

Gracias por tu apoyo…

A mi no me sale ese boot animation y cuando lo busco en el play store salen otras opciones. Alguna sugerencia?

No need to fill with foam as air is completely redirected to new vents. You need to detach OEM ducts from main supply duct and secure them with a tie wrap. Then install the new ductwork in the supply duct. I didn’t want to cut any wires as it is my intention to take everything back to OEM stock if I ever sell the car or trade it. For the antenna, you need to use the wire adapter, from normal antenna connector to fakra. This is provided in the kit.

@@porscheDIY Thanks. But the wires I might cut are on the back of the new radio (not part of the Porsche wiring). It would make it much easier to stuff them behind the screen. If I ever sell my car, the poor new owner will just have to put up with the impressive upgrade :)

@@markstephenson6952 I see. I don’t see any issues cutting non-usable wires provided with the unit.

Not that I know of. Thanks for your support.

Thank you for your quick response. Do you think that's possible?

@@rumafarn I don’t think so. This spoiler was specifically designed for the basic bumper. But can’t say for sure.

@@porscheDIY Thank you so much for your valuable opinion.I might try that.

I found a solution. You first have to enable SPORT mode, then SPORT plus. All good.

@@jamiet4992 Thanks for this. This is interesting. So, in your case, you didn’t have SPORT mode? I thought all Macan come with SPORT mode as standard. But thanks for trying until you found a solution. This will be useful information for others, for sure. Thanks for watching and I hope you are a subscriber…

@@porscheDIY Sport mode is standard - activating it with the diamond button is not. I only have Start/Stop in the Vehicle options menu.

This is the screw that secures rotor to the hub. You need to remove that small screw and then remove the rotor.

@@porscheDIY that would explain why the rotor would not come out.. what type of screw is it?

@@eddielloret4670 I just realized it doesn’t show well in my front DIY brake replacement. If you go to the rear brake video replacement, you can see it better in my 2nd brake replacement. It is a small Torx screw (T30 if I remember correctly). See minute 24:20 of following video: ruclips.net/video/D4D3grlh_k0/видео.htmlsi=r3WfBiG4ZVw889ON
