Removing Lock Carrier

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Porsche Macan, 2020 Porsche Macan, and 2019 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: Hot fluid

Danger of scalding
→ Let the fluid cool down.

→ Wear personal protective gear.

WARNING: Working with ATF

Possible danger of injury or damage (e.g. swollen hoses, skin irritation, danger of slipping, etc.)
→ Before lines are opened, place a cloth underneath them!

→ Components that come into contact with ATF must be cleaned IMMEDIATELY with water!

→ Take appropriate protective measures (protective clothing, safety goggles, oil binding material)

→ Collect emerging ATF!

Information

The number of fastening screws, fixing clips, plug connections, holders and trim panels can vary depending on equipment.
The illustrations for removing and installing the drive mechanism are shown only on one equipment variant and may differ from the actual equipment variant.
Some steps must be carried out automatically.
Some of the repair illustrations show only one side of the vehicle.

Information

After disconnecting hoses, close off all openings immediately using commercially available rubber stoppers.

When fitting parts, do not remove stoppers until shortly before installation. Likewise, do not remove the protective foil from the dryer until just before installation. The dryer absorbs moisture from the air and is then useless.

Information

The help of another person is required.
