Service Technical Information 166/21 ENU 1582 1 Oil Leakage on Cylinder Head Cover: Insert Micro-Self-Locking Screw (166/21) Revision: This bulletin replaces bulletin Group 1 166/21, dated December 10, 2021. Model Year: As of 2017 up to 2024 Model Lines: Panamera (971) Equipment: 8-cylinder Otto engine (engine type: CVD) Concerns: Oil leakage around the cylinder head cover Cause: The customer complains about an oil leakage in the engine compartment. “Oil sweating” or drops of oil forming in the cylinder head cover area is detected in the workshop. Information The measure described here relates to a potential oil leak at the screws shown on the cylinder head cover. If the oil leak occurs at another location, the oil leak must be found and remedied. This Technical Information (TI) does not apply in this case. Example of an oil leakage Action required: Clean the affected area thoroughly and replace the affected screws and adjacent screws with micro-selflocking screws.

Information Definition and procedure for oil leaks: • Oil sweating: Oil is visible; however, the amount of oil emerging is does not form drops of oil. There are no traces of oil on adjacent components. No further action is required in this case. • Drops of oil: A significant amount of oil is clearly visible; the emerging oil forms drops of oil. There are also traces of oil on adjacent components. In this case, the leak must be located and remedied. Parts required if necessary Information The number of screws required depends on the respective leakage point on the cylinder head cover. Parts Info: Required parts: Screw No. Part No. Designation – Location Number 1 N 10451409 Internal hexagon round countersunk screw, self-locking, M6 x 16 – Cylinder head As required or 2 N 10599501 Countersunk screw M5 x 20 – Cylinder head AfterSales As required Jan 30, 2024 Page 3 of 5 1 Service Technical Information ENU 166/21 1582 or 3 Internal hexagon round oval-head screw – Cylinder head PAF101243 As required Preparatory work Work Procedure: 1 Remove fuel collection pipe. For instructions, see: Workshop Manual '243019 Removing and installing fuel collection pipe (V8 Turbo)' Replace affected and adjacent screws Information The surrounding screws around the leakage must in principle also be replaced with microencapsulated self-locking screws analogous to the example shown in the graphic Example of "adjacent screws". Work Procedure: 1 Unscrew the affected and adjacent screws. 2 Clean the affected area thoroughly. 3 Blow out bores using compressed air. 4 Screw in and tighten new micro-self-locking screws at the relevant position. Check the following while doing this: • • • Example of "adjacent screws" Screws for fuel collection pipe (item 1) Initial tightening 7 Nm (5.2 ftlb.) Final tightening 10 Nm (7.4 ftlb.) Also observe screw sequence. For instructions, see: Workshop Manual '243019 Removing and installing fuel collection pipe (V8 biturbo)' Screw for solenoid hydraulic valve VHS (item 2) Tightening torque 5 Nm (3.7 ftlb.) Screws for pressure converter holder (item 3) Tightening torque 10 Nm (7.4 ftlb.) Follow-up actions Work Procedure: 1 Jan 30, 2024 Page 4 of 5 Install fuel collection pipe.
