  Summary

  Subject: Replacing the coil spring on the rear axle during repairs Information: Coil spring for the respective chassis no longer available. Notes: During repairs, the faulty coil spring will be replaced by a new coil spring of similar design. A spring plate (compensation part)may also have to be used (see Parts Info table). The new coil spring has the same function as the coil spring installed in the vehicle. A faulty coil spring must always be replaced on both sides of the axle. Existing sets containing a coil spring that is no longer available will be interpreted into new sets. Parts Info: The table below shows the interpretation of old coil springs (sets) to new coil springs (sets). A spring plate (compensation part) may also have to be used.

  Summary

  Concerns: Battery trickle charging with "Charge-o-mat"may time out within a short period of time. The trickle charging will thus end prematurely. Thismay result in a dead battery. Information: The ?Charge-o-mat? device recommended by Porsche can be connected to the plug socket in the above-mentioned vehicles again in accordance with instructions in order to trickle-charge the battery (e.g. in the showroom) if: ? the gateway control unit is re-coded beforehand using the PIWIS Tester with test software version 36.800.030 installed.

  Summary

  Information: This document updates information previously published in EQ 1105, EQ 1105, and EQ 1401. To provide stable voltage and sufficient current throughout certain service operations, you should connect the vehicle to a battery charger (sometimes referred to as a power supply). However, you may experience ECU programming and coding issues if the chosen battery charger has insufficient power. Many workshop manuals currently advise use of a battery charger with a 40 or 70 A current rating. However, with the increasing current requirements of modern Porsche vehicles, we recommend a battery charger capable of producing a minimum current of 90 A.

  Summary

  Technical Concern: By design, the vehicle gateway allows certain vehicle features to time-out, in stages. This allows the vehicle to sleep. One feature that can time-out is the 12 V DC power point (cigarette lighter) in the center console area. One of the recommended methods of using the battery maintainer is to plug the battery maintainer into this power point. If this power point becomes disabled, it will not allow current flow from the battery maintainer to the vehicle, the vehicle battery will not trickle charge, and the battery maintainer will eventually shut off.

  Summary

  Customer Concern: Certain vehicle systems have unwanted, unpredictable behavior. Technical Concern: The symptoms are difficult to diagnose. There may be multiple symptoms intermittently affecting multiple systems. Though this is not an exhaustive list, some common failure modes are: ? Start/stop issues ? Power windows not fully returning to the parked position after automatic preopening ? PCM audio stopping during a start/stop cycle Ultimately, the technician determines that low 12-volt battery voltage is the underlying root cause of the unwanted behavior. The technician corrects the battery?s low voltage. Consequently, the unwanted behavior ends.
