Correct assembly of the heat shields

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Damage will result if heat shields are fitted incorrectly!
Observe the following points during assembly!
  • Make sure the heat shields -A, B, C-  overlap correctly along the -arrowed lines-  . See Fig 1 .
  • There should not be any continuous gaps along the entire length of the heat shields.
  • A gap of up to 2 mm wide and 30 mm long is permissible locally.
  • At least more than 80 % of the total sealing area must be sealed off without gaps.
