It's a manual release for engine lid. Give it a pull and you will activate the latch on the engine lid.

I could get the manual out and search and I'll do that a little later but it could be a Frunk or Filler flap release. I didn't want to pull it just to find out.

How can you get to it when it's under some plastic in the engine compartment?

Just replaced the plugs on my 2014 3.4L at 17,000 miles and 4 years. The plugs looked ok, but they took some effort to get out and the rear 2 were the worst as far as crusty threads. So if Porsche is worried about the threads seizing I understand why.


Others have mentioned this, but round up all your 3/8 extensions before you start and make sure you have plenty. I used 7 different lengths and a wobbly. Took about 3 hours including setting up the Quick Jack.

On resale..... hehehe This is the 1st Porsche I've owned and I'm going to see how may miles I can get on it so resale is the least of my worries at this time.
i like your attitude. Getting into these jobs is 50% of what interests me in the cars. I buy cars from guys like you ...my last one I knew it was a done deal when I saw the guy was into RC planes and had everything labeled in his workshop. A dealership (yes including Porsche) hires guys who will tolerate their BS and need the work. Don’t have the illusion of the independent guy who really knows the cars and can do stuff like weld or work an English wheel.
