One thing I noticed is that fuel squirts out when you open any doors. Wrap those lines with some rags.

You should be able to pull the fuel pump fuse or disconnect the battery ground to prevent this. One trick I've used when working on the fuel system in the past is to pull the fuse to the fuel pump, then crank the engine to get as much fuel out of the lines as possible before disconnecting any of it.

Had a covid break, back at it. Stuck on that last screw behind the harness near the fire wall. I can't even see it. Any tips?

I was able to release the spring clamp back there using long pliers and swap the hose without removing that bolt.

Get new gaskets for the intake. Be careful they don't shift or fall out when replacing the intake.

Hello guys.
im about to preform this job, and would like to depressurize the fuel system before removing the fuel line. I cannot find any information in the fuses diagram regarding the location of the fuse pump relay or fuse.
any help will be appreciated.

I just performed this job today. What a pain in the butt for a silly little hose.

No need to depressurize the fuel system. I didn’t pull any fuses or disconnect the battery.

Thanks Marc.
ended up getting a bit of gasoline spry, but not too bad.
and yes. That’s a stupid design

Finished this today. What a journey. Not sure I would have started this if I knew everything life was going to throw at me at the same time

Anyway, I followed @ENGIN3RD and was able to squeeze the clamp at the back to pull the old/insert the new line. Needed a set of extra hands to do that part.

The line and new gaskets cost me close to $400 CAD.

Learned a lot about my car

My parts came to $266CAD all in. I ordered from Pelican Parts. The price was good, but it took over a month to arrive.

Hello just found this about the high pressure fuel lines, one time use only.

A lot of manufacturers state that with high-pressure fuel rails. I don't know that anyone except for the dealers actually follow that guideline.

if I knew it would take me so long

If I knew it would take me so long, I would have bought from them and save me a few bucks! 😅

I didn't learn until afterward that PCA members get an additional 10% off.

As with most parts, you have to shop from multiple locales because prices are all over the map.

I just finished this repair on my 2016 Macan S. Super nice instructions, very clear. Couldn't have done it in such a short time withouth this.
I managed to do this withouth removing as many parts as Gclasse, meaning I did not remove some of the parts in his 2nd and 3rd picture but it took some creative effort to put in the new line .
Great documentation Gclasse!!!

It's right in the middle of the connector towards the firewall. Climb up in the engine bay so you have a clear view from above. there's a second wire harness behind the big plastic one. That pulls right up and you can push it away to allow you to see / access the screw.

On first pic, how are the plugs on the metal round domes on top of the valve covers come off? I pinched the clip but they are very stubborn and won't slip off. Pull real hard?

Looks like the high-pressure fuel pump. Why do you want to mess with it? Just curious. And make sure you don't damage anything on its locking mechanism, since you don't want that thing to come off while driving. Those things get over 1K psi of pressure (which is a crapload), so be careful. You might need to depressurize the line first. Good luck.

not the silver thing, just the hose that leads to it. You have to pull those hoses off to remove the manifold for this fix.

nevermind, i got them off. now the intake is being stubborn.

Once you get all the bolts out that hold down the intake, you need gentle pressure to pull it off. The seals get pretty stuck on, but if you feel it wiggling it will come free. If there’s no movement at all, you might have missed a bolt.
