Thanks Yichen, I learned a lot. I'm tackling both front and rear pads now thanks to your video. There is one tip I have for those with the air suspension on their Macan's. Porsche do highly recommend to turn the air suspension system off before raising the car and removing wheels. One simply holds down for 10 seconds the button with car symbol and down arrow on it on the central console. A warning/confirmation note appears on the dash display. After you're done, lower the car and do the same to turn it back on.
Thank you for posting this and especially a big thank you for creating a quality video. It helped my project go smoothly. For the rears I did not use the Autel MK808 diag. scanner, but will be ordering one in the near future. To reset the e-brake spindle I went against your advice on this one thing and removed the actuator assembly. Removing the assembly allowed me to clean-up the housing and seating surface and more importantly it allowed me to relube the rubber o-ring seal. I would recommend this even though it's a little more work. The spindle should be rotated in a clock-wise direction until it stops, only then is it reset completely and allows the caliper piston to recess completely.
Yichen you are awesome. Very informative, concise and well done. Greatly appreciate you sharing. Very helpful hints. Thanks.
Thank you. I am glad it helps
This was excellent and easy to see and follow I’ll do mine next
Thank you very much for your video, it helped me a lot.🤙🏽
it is helpful to people who watch these videos because they might be planning on doing the same kind of job, so they look to the links on parts/tools/etc used for the job, so when you do not list(s) such items folks like me tend to say WTF??? just my 2cents!!
Hahaha thanks for your comments. My Miss on early videos… I will list all the tools parts torques next time as making my future videos
You can skip the tool and use a jump box or battery with 12v. pull off the connector to the e brake motor and apply 12 v + and - to the two wire terminals if you look into the motor connection. you will hear the motor run for 3 to 5 seconds, then remove the voltage and push the brake piston in with a clamp. If it doesn't go in reverse, the 12V wires sending + where you sent - and repeat for 3-5 seconds and then push the clamp in.
So far you did the jobs right except you forget to clean the wheel hub with wire brush before apply anti seize compound, and also forget to clean the inside of brake caliper and lub the dust shield with silicone spay to extend the life. Finally no brake grease apply to brake pads. It will make noise down on the road.
pete Wong thanks. All correct and I will definitely bring these steps into my next brake job
请问视频的千斤顶有链接咩？感觉很好用的样子？哈哈
What is the kind of scanner you’re using to put the brake on maintenance mode?
I have a AUTEL MaxiCOM MK808
Hey man what’s the thing you’re doing with the clamp? I need to change my rear pads and I just cannot understand why you did that. Can you explain please? Thanks for the great video.
By clamp I assume you mean the piston. It has electronic parking brake motor built in to drive the piston so you can’t simply push it back. That will either destroy the gears in there or mess up the calibration. It could be disassembled by taking the attached motor off and manually twist parking brake motor to restore its position but I would not take the risk. So get a dedicated tool connect to OBD2 port and use the diagnostic command to send electronic parking brake motor to original position or service position would be the best way. Once E parking brake motor is in service position, you can now push the piston with your favorite clamp back to its cylinder.
@@luyichen11 because the new pad is thicker we have to compress the piston, okay got it man...you saved me a lot of money.
Yes. You are absolutely correct. New pads and rotors are thicker. Piston usually needs to be pushed back or twist&push back when replacing new rotor and pads.
@@luyichen11 Hi, can’t you just set the parking brake off, lift the car and replace the pads without using the OBD sytem? Probably you can just put the gear handle in the parking position (P) and thats it, isn’t it? Thank you for your help!
@@TH3CROW01 the EPB has some factory calibration in the control module and will learn as pads being work thin. Simply set it off and replace may trigger fault which causes even more trouble. So I did not bother to try since a friend could loan me the tool
视频很赞 感谢楼主 很相信 想问一下 换完brake 需要做tire rotation么？还是直接按上轮胎就好？你是大概多少miles时候换的brake呀 谢谢😁
谢谢支持。换完brake我没有rotate tire。我大概是3万英里出头换的，那时候前面刹车传感器已经磨断了。tire rotation和balance我一般是6000-10000英里做一次。这辆车前后轮胎宽度不同，好在轮胎不是directional，所以就是左右对调就可以。
Yichen Lu 感谢！左右对调的话是需要去dealer那调整嘛
Yi Hao dealer很贵。没必要去。可以找discount tire，belle tire，或者firestone，甚至costco tire center或者walmart这种tire service的店做。
Yichen Lu 感谢～～ 我最近入手了macan s希望可以多交流 😄😄
Yi Hao 好的👌
I think you did a great jop but i would have put anti seize on the ends of the pads where they contact the anti sequel shims.
Not anti-seize. Specifically designed brake caliper grease (Permatex high-temp brake grease)
He didn’t even change his gloves when he put the new rotor on. He got it all dirty. Also, he didn’t spray any brake cleaner on the rotor to get rid of any access oils off it when It was shipped other than that good job lol always handle new parts with clean hands gloves etc also he put no grease on the caliper bolts no anti seize on the hub😅
You are acting as if it is heart surgery, cleaning the oil off the rotor is recommended but not something that is going to cause problems to the car, some of you people are so over dramatic.
请问买那个解码器之后需要授权什么的吗？还是说就直接可以自助使用？
不需要。直接可以用
@@luyichen11 太感谢啦！！
@@tonyzhang2186 太客气了
Dude, you need to state model and year - Macans have many different versions. The base is not the same as the others.
Can you share the rear rotor diameter please? Thank you
330mm. I used Zimmermann 95B-615-601-G
大神，我有一辆16年Macan S, 最近出现啸叫，送去dealer检查，检查后说是oil separator 需要换。我一顿网上做功课，在论坛上发现有人说可以自己换，不知道这方面大神有没有指点，需要注意哪些？还有dealer报告说，还需要做一个break fluid service，我刚好就搜到了你的老视频，可惜是mini cooper上的操作。我看了一下操作需要的工具还挺专业，打算找jiffy lube，因为我也不知道别家了。这方面大神有没有可以指教和提点的？ 坐标LA，如果大神和我同城，可以找大神操作吗？
oil separator不难换，在缸盖上，换的时候注意尽量冷车和密封条。螺丝按原厂torque拧好。至于brake fluid的话你可以买个pressure bleeder，跟mini一个换法，连reservoir的盖都是一样的。就是注意别进空气。尽量别去jiffylube那种街边小店，最后坑死你。自己如果不想弄真不如花钱去保时捷dealer。可惜我不在LA，不然帮你弄了
@@luyichen11 感谢大神的回复！那我听大神的，就去dealer弄break liquid。 还有一个，dealer说我车的radiator shutter也要换。这个我查了一下买原厂的配件是$180多，这个可以去jiffylube换吗？dealer quote $1100 😑 我以为连锁店要比私人店靠谱一些呢。
@@luyichen11 再请教一下大神。我车目前总共是3万3千迈，每年都老实回dealer做保养。今年是买车第5年了，这次因为啸叫送回去检查，结果就出了一堆问题。Break liquid, oil separator, radiator shutter. 这三个是最主要的，也是最贵的。一共quote五千多。论坛上做功课的时候我发现最少的都开到6万迈左右才换oil separator。我很少跑长途，就是local开一开，疫情后更是能不出门就不出门。怎么感觉我的车老化的那么严重……请教大神驾车的时候要注意哪些问题这样车子才能身体健康长命百岁？（主要钱包承受不了它老往dealer跑）
@@user-fn2we4oi5d radiator shutter也坏了？感觉你好像对修车经验也不多。我其实建议全部送去保时捷官方dealer去做service和维修。非官方店坑很多，除非你自己很清楚零件来源而且信任某家店，我不建议去这种连锁店保养和维修。往往结果是得不偿失的。此外就是欧洲车后期维修很贵。即使自己修买parts也很贵。你可以去rockauto或者partsgeek这些网站查查零件价钱，大概心里有点数。原厂肯定更贵但是可以找找二手拆车件。车差不多开开就可以卖了，这些东西越坏越多，随便修修就上千。
@@user-fn2we4oi5d 开的真的很少。不完全排除dealer瞎搞乱开单子的情况。这种行为很常见，比如动不动就给你换sparkplug或者ignition coil之类的，这些东西好换，标准工时远超实际所需时间，利润大。所以自己得看看他们list出来的东西是不是真的需要换。至于平时怎么保养，也要看你车子存放和用车习惯。如果两台同样二手车让我选，一个3年寿命跑了6万，一个6年跑了3万我可能选前者。里程少也不一定是好事。如果每天启动没等车热就到地方了，这周损伤也大。要嫌麻烦其实以后要么一直换新车开要么搞个雷车
are the wheels 20 inch?
Yes. All four wheels are 20 inches. Standard on the GTS model.
@@luyichen11 ok, but I can’t accept the sliding calipers on a Porsche or even the GTS lol
@@jayzhang14 哈哈，确实不好看。不过后轮刹车力本来也没前面大。话说回来还是钱不到位……
