Damage Diagnosis On Aluminum Components

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Porsche Cayenne and 2020 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The information in

>5X00IN62 PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING SCOPE OF DAMAGE

applies for damage diagnosis on aluminum sheet and extruded aluminum components.

Damage diagnosis for damaged areas on cast aluminum components requires greater attention .

Components must always be replaced if chipped paintwork, cracks or other signs of deformation are found.

The dimensions must also be within the permitted dimensional deviations in order to ensure that there is no invisible damage.

If dimensional deviations greater than > Nominal value 0 mm +/- 2 mm are found on cast parts during damage diagnosis, these parts must be replaced.

Information

Due to the narrow tolerances, damage diagnosis and repairs must be carried out using an electronic measuring system (e.g. > VAS 6526/11 - Measuring Unit, Professional or > VAS 811 019 - Measuring system)

The relevant measuring points are shown in the following illustrations: -Arrows-
