Checking The Cooling System For Leaks
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2023 Porsche Panamera, 2022 Porsche Panamera, 2021 Porsche Panamera, 2020 Porsche Panamera, and 2019 Porsche Panamera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Coolant outlet in the high-voltage battery
- Risk of short circuit or fire
→ Read out the fault memory of all high-voltage systems before checking the pressure of the cooling system.
→ In the event of an insulation fault, do not apply pressure to the cooling system.
→ In the event of an insulation fault, have a high-voltage expert take care of the issue.
- Check the engine coolant level. See above. Top up to the maximum fill level if necessary.
- On hybrid models, check the fault memory of all high-voltage systems. If there are insulation faults, hand over to a high-voltage expert.
- Fit cooling system tester > V.A.G 1274B - Cooling system tester
with adapter > V.A.G 1274/8 - Adapter for cooling system tester
to the coolant reservoir.
Information
- The pressure must not drop.
- There must be no drops of coolant.
- Apply test pressure of approx. 1.5 bar and visually check hose connections, connection pieces and cooling system components for leaks.
- If the pressure drops, find the leak and correct the problem.
