Thank God, your beautiful Macan is back!! What an undertaking that was. But at least you're set for a while. I do have to say that between your wheels and the LED updated headlights. That's how I would spec one out, if I was ever to buy one. Gorgeous example. 👌
Thanks man! Appreciate your comments. And, yes, with the subframe I’m set for quite a while. But my luck is such that now I have detected a humming noise coming from the differential. Indications that is going bad. So, I got a used differential (with 30K miles) that I’ll be installing soon. Would had been much easier with the subframe out. But such is my luck…😆
@@porscheDIY Life throws us lemons, so my friend, it's your turn to make lemonade. Besides, it more content for the channel. And by that I mean, making videos for others to enjoy and perhaps, give courage to undertake.
Love your videos. I have learned a lot and thanks for sharing your experiences. You inspire me to do my own services (and mods) and all your videos have been extremely helpful.
Great upload again, I’m tackling my engine mounts on my ‘17 GTS right now and I’m spreading the work over a few days of this spring break as it’s a big undertaking for me. I don’t have a lift which makes things a little tougher for me. Do you know what distance is from the front fender to center of wheel is under full vehicle loading? I forgot to measure this so I can tighten my suspension components afterwards while it is in fully loaded position. Thanks
Yes, you should measure the distance from top edge of fender to wheel center to know your loaded height. Then, torque at loaded/ride height. If you forgot, I would go with standard height (assuming you haven't lowered your car suspension). Standard height in my Macan with air suspension is anywhere between 460 to 465mm. I think is higher on steel suspension, but not sure what's the value. Thanks for watching and for your support.
@@porscheDIY yes thank you! I got too excited to change out my engine mounts and forgot to measure the fender to center of wheel distance while under load. I have stock GTS suspension so I think you’re about right, when I convert 460mm, it reminds me of a figure I used of 17.5” when I last changed my lower and upper control arms. Keep up the good work thorough tutorials, I want to see if my GTS can hit 150,000miles while driving in tip top condition! It’s at 80,000 miles right now.
Haha! I probably can teach them some courses. My last experience at a Porsche Dealer left too much to be desired (after a repair they did after I hit a curb). They left a sway bar bolt loose, which I found after the car was making horrible noises over bumps... They had to perform an alignment and the camber of the left rear wheel was positive while the right was negative... Had to fix that as well... Horrible.
What's the difference between these part numbers? I'm trying to find the right subframe for my 2014 Turbo 95B505235B 95B505235C 95B505235D 95B505235E 95B505235F Thanks, great videos!
They are all the same. This part hasn’t changed for 1st or 2nd Gen Macan, not even 3rd Gen I think. If you look at a Porsche part website you will see that 235B, C, D, E are all superseded by 235F. The “new to me” one I got was 235F and the rusted old one I took out from my Macan was 235B. There may be a difference in rear bushing mounting based on the Macan model, but not the subframe.

By the time you get done with all the mods you might get an honorary tech certificate from porsche??? 😂
