Removing High-Pressure Pump
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.
WARNING:
Toxic substances
- Danger of poisoning or suffocation
- Danger of burns to the eyes and skin
- Ventilate the work area well.
- Never ingest or inhale.
- Read specific information on the Hazard Sheet.
- Wear personal protective gear.
- Do not smoke, eat or d ink in the work area.
WARNING:
Highly inflammable or explosive materials
- Danger of Are or explosion
- Avoid contact with hot parts or sources of ignition.
- Use suction to remove ignitable vapors.
- Attach warning sign in a clearly visible position.
- Contain leaked media using non-flammable absorbent material and put it in a container designed for this purpose for disposal in accordance with local requirements.
- Secure collection containers/vessels to prevent them from tipping over.
NOTIFICATION
Dirt on injection system components
- Material damage
- Rough-running engine
- Bad exhaust emissions
- Thoroughly clean connection points and adjacent areas before loosening them. If the engine is very dirty, wash it before starting disassembly work.
- Lay removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Do not use fibre-shedding cloths.
- Carefully cover components or seal them if repair work will not be carried out immediately. Place rubber caps on connections. Seal intake openings with film or adhesive tape.
- Only install clean parts. Do not take spare parts out of the packaging until just before installation.
- Never use compressed air when the system is open. Do not move the vehicle.
Information
- High-pressure pumps replaced under warranty must be sent in with protection caps (on the pump connections). Use protection caps from the new pump. Intrusion of dirt must be avoided.
- Possible intrusion of dirt in the pump is not acceptable as the reason for defective high-pressure pumps. The warranty claim will be rejected.
Information
- Do not bend high-pressure lines. Always remove the high-pressure distributor ppe and other fuel-supply components in the high-pressure area completely. Check that the connection points are not damaged and are perfectly clean and make sure there is no thread damage. Fit union nuts on all connection points by hand before screwing in screws or bolts. Remove dirt on the conical/ball joints. Check connection points for leaks following fitting.
Information
- Escaping fuel must be soaked up using suitable binding material.
- The fuel system must be depressurized before starting work on it.
- Only work on the fuel system in well-ventilated rooms.
- Any seals that were removed must always be replaced.
- Never use sealant containing silicone or silicone spray when the injection system is open. Traces of silicone drawn in by the engine are not combusted and damage the oxygen sensors.
- Remove holder for cooling water tube -7-
. To do this, remove hexagon-head bolt -6-

Peripheral engine cooling water tubes
- Remove protective plate for high-pressure pump -7-
. To do this, unscrew the three screws on the protective plate and remove it.

Counter with an open-ended wrench while doing this. The tool > Nr.98-1 Pos.1 - open-ended socket ring wrench with > Nr.98-1 Pos.2 - adapter can be used if necessary.
- Remove three union nuts -6- .
- Carefully remove the high-pressure pump from the cylinder head.
To do this, you will need to overcome the resistance of the sealing ring. Carefully lever off high-pressure pump with a screwdriver >. Remove high-pressure pump by turning it.
