Information
(continued):

A picture showing the engine on the stand with all necessary parts removed
per the Workshop literature WM 153319 and labor operations 15331940
(for Macans) and 15331990 (for Cayennes). Parts that should be removed
include the transmission, exhaust manifold, cylinder head covers, turbochargers, oil guide housing, and the oil pan.

This picture is not acceptable documentation. The picture shows the repair
was performed improperly because the timing chain cover was removed
without performing the work per the Workshop Manual. Among other
components, the oil guide housing (1), oil pan (2), turbocharger (3), and
transmission (4) were not removed and the engine was not mounted to the
assembly support as described in WM 153319.
