I think there is a belt / retainer / follower (or something) change that is part of regular maintenance that necessitates this insane disassembly.

The earlier models also have some fluid leak issue that also requires the front end to come off.

The 2019+ updated cars do not suffer from this problem.
Been thinking about a macan GTS, does the whole front end no longer need to come off in their redesign? usually they don't make the newer ones easier to work on haha! I actually have a hoist but prefer not to spend 2 weeks fixing my car when needed.
