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
Information: Debris from the production process can cause the check valves in the oil supply and return lines for the turbocharger to stick open. This allows either too much oil to enter or not enough oil to exit the turbocharger and will overwhelm the seal. Action required: DO NOT replace the turbocharger(s). Remove the pressure pipes from the turbochargers to determine which side is stuck open. Replace that line.

Date Added:

Manufacturer:
PORSCHE
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.
