Preliminary Work
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 drink 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.
WARNING:
Leaking fuel supply lines
- Emerging fuel
- Risk of Are
- Perform leak test.
Information
- Do not bend high-pressure lines. Always remove the high-pressure distributor pipe 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.
- The ignition must be switched off when working on the fuel system.
- Absorb any escaping fuel using a suitable binding material or a cloth.
- Cloths which have absorbed fuel must be disposed of according to the applicable national laws.
- The fuel system must be depressurized before starting work on it.
- Only work on the fuel system in well-ventilated rooms.
- Any seals which have been removed must always be replaced.
- After disassembly work on the high-pressure injection system, fit the components to the prescribed torques.
- Visible threaded joints must be inspected leaks with the engine idling after a test drive.
- For the check to be performed correctly, the components to be checked must not contain any fuel. When dismantling, remove fuel from the lines.
- Pull out fuses for fuel pumps in the central electrical system or disconnect battery. This ensures that the fuel pumps do not start up when the door is opened.
