I have a 2020 Macan S, purchased off lease from a Porsche dealer. After getting quoted 2 hours labor plus parts from a local Porsche "expert" mechanic for engine filter replacement, I went straight to You Tube and the internet. Every video I have found for Macan S (any year) shows 2 filter locations (passenger and driver side intakes and filters). My Macan S has only one, passenger side filter location.
Could someone please enlighten me as to what I am missing?
Thanks

My understanding is all the V6 models (S, GTS, Turbo) have two filters while the base and T 4 cylinder models have the single passenger side filter. Something doesn't seem right. Post up an under-hood pic?

The Audi 2.9L and 3.0L V6 has only one filter. The prior use Porsche V6 has two filters.

2.9TT engine air filter is a 20 minute job.

Do it yourself or take it to an indy.

Yup, thanks.
just found this online, referring to model year 2019:
"The new 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine generating 348 horsepower and 354 lb.-ft. of torque.This new V6 is equipped with a single twin-scroll turbocharger located in the inner V of the engine, as opposed to the twin-turbo setup of the original Macan."

Thanks for the replies.

Do it yourself or take it to an indy. The indy is the one who quoted 2 hours labor just for the air cleaner change (lumped in with the estimate for other maintenance work). Just purchased filter from Pelican for a DIY.

Good choice. 3.0T engine air filter is the same as the 2.9TT, and 4.0TT for that matter.

Very, very easy DIY.
