WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2016 Porsche Panamera, 2015 Porsche Panamera, 2014 Porsche Panamera, 2013 Porsche Panamera, and 2012 Porsche Panamera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Information
- Note special features in the corresponding portion for vehicles with auxiliary heater.
Components of vacuum-filling device
| -1- | Adapter K 65 (Fitted instead of the cap on the coolant expansion tank.) |
| 2 | Hose extension FZ 100 (Fitted between K65 and KVB 01.) |
| 3 | KVB 01 (Vacuum gauge with two shut-off valves.) > 9696 - Filling device |
| V1 | Shut-off valve VI (Shut-off valve for the filler hose.) |
| -V2- | Shut-off valve V2 (Shut-off valve for the filler hose - outlet to Venturi nozzle.) |
| 4 | Venturi nozzle (A vacuum is produced in this component by means of compressed air. Pressure of between 6 and 10 bar must be present. The higher the pressure, the better the vacuum in the vehicle cooling system.) |
| 5 | Filler hose (The cooling system is refilled via this hose.) |
| 6 | Return lines (The compressed air and extracted coolant are drawn off via this hose.) |

| 2 | Overflow container (bucket or canister) |
| 3 | Compressed air connection |
| 4 | Compressed air connection (Pressure of between 6 and 10 bar must be present. The higher the pressure, the better the vacuum in the vehicle cooling system.) |
| 5 | Filling canister with coolant (it is best to position the canister higher than the reservoir). |
| 6 | Adapter K 65 (Fitted instead of the cap on the coolant expansion tank.). General illustration provided here. Use an intermediate cable/extension (FZ 100). |
| 7 | KVB 01 (Vacuum gauge with two shut-off valves V1 and V2) |
| V1 | Shut-off valve V1 (Shutoff valve for the filler hose.) |
| V2- | Shut-off valve V2 (Shutoff valve for the filler hose - outlet to Venturi nozzle.) |
