Fuel Pump Service Cover

Macan/Macan S/Macan GTS/Macan Turbo

Model Year: As of 2014 up to 2019

Subject: Service cover of fuel pump

Situation: Due to unfavourable tolerances and exertion of an external force, there is a possibility that
contact could occur between the underside of the service cover and the fuel supply port at
the filter flange of the fuel pump on the affected vehicles.

If the above-mentioned conditions occur and if an external force is applied (e.g. through use of the
rear seat system), the fuel supply port can become damaged over the service life of the vehicle resulting in a fuel leak. In such cases, customers could perceive the odour of fuel.

Remedial action:
†¢ Remove the service cover of the fuel pump. Depending on the parts availability of the service
cover, either rework the service cover or replace the service cover to avoid possible contact
between the underside of the service cover and the fuel supply port.
†¢ Before fitting the service cover again, check the fuel supply port at the filter flange of the fuel
pump for damage (cracks):
– If the fuel supply port is damaged: replace the filter flange of the fuel pump and affix a protective
film to the replacement piece.
– If the fuel supply port is not damaged: check whether a protective film is already affixed to the filter flange of the fuel pump. If there is no protective film, affix it later.
