PDCC Reservoir replacement

[ciaka]

I have been reading about the need to replace the PDCC reservoir for Panamera (on models with the said option).
Should be done at 60k miles. 
Since reservoir has a built in filter module that cannot be removed/replaced, entire tank needs replacement.

Have seen folks say its a real PITA to do. Started looking closer and found this photo of the tank itself. Somehow it does not appear to be difficult. There are 3 lines going to the tank. 
Just guessing, if I was to remove driver front wheel and lining, I can get to that side. Then I could siphon out the fluid, protect the area with rags, etc, disconnect the 3 lines, and change the tank with a new one.

Anyone comment on the above, whether I am missing something? 
Other folks were saying you have to remove the (serpentine?) belt, to get the tank out. I somehow do not see the need unless you are changing the lines too (unnecessary IMO, as I think they are metal).

Thanks for input. Below is pic of a new tank, showing where the 3 lines connect to it.

Be sure and use the newest tank - 970 359 071 01

Why is it needed to use newest?  Is it just the age, or some technical differences?  Thank you again.

The olde part number says to use the new part number in the Porsche system. That usually means there is a design change that makes the part better or in some cases a manufacturer change.

Great.  Thanks.  The part is one you provided so much obliged for the check.

I just thoroughly reviewed maintenance schedule for Panamera.  

It appears that PDCC reservoir change is called for in C market countries (not USA).

USA is in B market designation, and for this market, PDCC reservoir change is not called for.

Bringing that up just food for thought.  I will try to post up maintenance schedule summary for B market, so others can have more details on what to maintain.

 

Thanks.
