Here at PCA we enjoy maintaining vehicles. They don't even have to be our own! In this case, PCA Member Services Representative Anthony Saleiro replaces the spark plugs on his parents' 2018 Porsche Macan S. Though he's done this job before on a friend's Macan S, in the real world that doesn't mean it'll go exactly the same way on another Macan S - as was the case here. Watch to learn how to change spark plugs on a first-gen Macan S, and get pro tips from PCA tech expert Peter Smith to help you get the job even faster than we did.

Wow, another missed opportunity for a Rob Sass obscenity-filled DIY! 😜 You guys are slowin’ down; must be the cold weather. More 20 minute DIY videos much appreciated! #porsche #PCA #PorscheDIY #VuDaMan!

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

Thanks! We like these longer-form videos as well. December was a pretty busy month on RU-vid for us, would be hard to sustain that right now... However, we're planning to always have 2-4 videos per week. Look for a new style of One-Mile Review in early spring!

And of course we're also producing more shorts each week.

Just did my S. Removing the air filters and air boxes sides makes this chore much easier. Not sure why he worked around the air boxes but it’s much harder that way. The only additional help needed was holding the washer bottle for the last plug drivers side. That was the hardest of all to access and remove the boot. Always use die electric grease on boots install ing easier to remove next time.

@alex159569 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! I also removed the airboxes and feel like it made it a fun easy project instead of being frustrated working around them constantly. Still, appreciate the torque specs and clear video.\!

Glad it was useful.

I consider myself a pretty competent DIY Macan GTS owner, but this seems a much bigger project than I expected to watch just to change plugs in a front engine V6. And I thought the 911 was the only tough job. Makes you appreciate a GM with 100,000 mile plug intervals.

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

Agreed, not the easiest job.

@gkrieger6824 Год назад

We’re these plugs the Bosch or the Porsche “version” of the Bosch. I ask because in the tech questions one of the experts said that the genuine Porsche plugs are worth the extra money as Porsche tests each one. I find that very hard to believe, so I’m curious to hear which plugs were used on the Macan.

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

These were not the Genuine Porsche plugs, but they were from an OE supplier.

@ivansno.1garage909 Год назад

Recently renewed plugs plus coil pack on my 987 (obviously not a front engine Macan) which required removal of rear wheels plus various exhaust shields. Once the initial head scratching on first bank of plugs (cylinders 1-3) opposite side was grand. Definitely a satisfying home mechanic job though. Thanks for upload though. ☘️🔧

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

Definitely satisfying to do at home. Thanks for watching!

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

Glad you enjoyed the video.

@tlwright4945 Год назад

instead of the string. i found my bolts do not come out of the packs. So i used a plastic pry tool and a piece of wood. hook the tool under the head of the bolt, wood piece between tool and engine, and lever out the coil pack quite easily. no need to pull on the pack. Also pulling the air filters and sliding out the side makes it a lot easier to get to the first two plugs on each side. Not a tough job. Lots of extensions for your sockets helps.

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

Thanks for the tip!

@builtyankeegirl Год назад

The broken plug most likely happened during installation, a slight angle while tightening it will do it more often than we think.

@JohnKrylow Год назад

What did you gap the spark plugs to?

@its_tbroe1583 Год назад

Easier to remove air box covers filters with a t25. Pull out air box inserts (inner side of the air boxes slide down onto boxes) and filters.Way more room to access harnesses for each bank

Some call this a tough job. I call it fun for an hour.

@tylerwelker 6 месяцев назад

welp. I just followed this and now my 2018 macan S won't start. I've done all my spark plug changes myself and this is the first time ever having an issue. Rechecked all plugs, everything looks good. any advice?

@timothyerrington8877 Год назад

Does Porsche recommend not using anti-seize on spark plugs?

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

No anti-seize, according to PCA Tech Expert and Porsche Gold Meister Technician Peter Smith. Install "clean and dry"

@ashythedon Месяц назад

Needed better lighting…

@kitgerhart8749 Год назад

Shouldn't the plugs last at least 150K miles? They have lasted 250K and counting on my friend's 2002 Chevy Cavalier.

@davidmikulka4600 Год назад

Recommended every 30-40k in Porsches

@M_IkeLeBlanc Год назад

@@davidmikulka4600 - my 2022 Cayman S recommends a plug change at the 2 year/20K mile service. The car may have 8k miles by then. Is there really any reason to change the plugs? Would it affect the warranty because I didn’t follow the factory schedule?

@davidmikulka4600 Год назад

@@M_IkeLeBlanc Can't say for sure on the warranty, outside of the warranty concerns though I'd say they're still good.

@its_tbroe1583 Год назад

On first gen 95b replace plugs every 4years or 40k

@pg9144 Год назад

Why1? Why does it take SO MANY tools to do a simple plug change? Why has Porsche abandoned the home mechanic?

@cattman1970 Год назад

This is not just Porsche. All new cars are this way. That was easier than the ones I changed on my wife’s Subaru.

@jimc793 Год назад

Holy smoke. I'll quit complaining about the Porsche mechanic's shop rate. Although it's got me thinking about an all-electric vehicle. (Heresy, I know.)

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

Thanks for watching.

@nadameify Год назад

This is a poorly designed and executed video. The camera doesn’t provide a closeup view of the actual components being removed to access the ignition coils and spark plugs. I’ll give PCA an “E” for effort.

@PorscheClubofAmerica Год назад

Thanks for taking the time to comment. We will take it into consideration for future videos.

@robertm1692 6 месяцев назад

@@PorscheClubofAmerica I thought it was just fine for a competent DIY'er. I know exactly what to expect when I do this next year. I'm pretty sure I can find where everything is.

@rcaso9561 4 месяца назад

OK, it's an amateur video done by boots on the ground guys but give them a break. It shows the major procedures and what you have to do to get to where you want to be. Perfect for assessing DIY or dealer. Only miss is the plug gap.
