Foreword

This manual contains T echnicallnformation as well as instructions
on repairs for Porsche vehicles. It is intended for the sole use of
workshops belonging to Porsche AG.

The descriptions form the basis for professional and correct mainte­nance and repair work. The content of the work procedures
described is based on the level of training of a fitter who has com­pleted vocational training and has a sound knowledge of the prod­uct. This level of knowledge is necessary in order to carry out the
work described.

Warning notes
The warning notes and safety instructions are classified by the

respective signalising word (Danger, Warning, Caution) beside the
warning symbol.

Foreword

Warns against death or very serious injury which will cer-

tainly occur if the instructions are not observed.

Warns against death or very serious injury which may occur
if the instructions are not observed.

Warns against minor injury or damage to property if the
instructions are not observed.

To prevent injury and restricted operating and traffic safety of the
vehicle, or damage to the vehicle as the result of incorrect work,
read these instructions carefully and observe them without fail.

It is not possible for Porsche AG to give a detailed evaluation of all
danger situations for the persons carrying out the work. It is there­fore imperative that all persons carrying out repair and maintenance
work on Porsche vehicles use their specialist knowledge to ensure
that their own safety is not at risk and the procedure chosen will not
have any negative effects on the vehicle -especially with regard to

safety.

It is therefore expressly specified
procedures described should be c
the valid guidelines and regulation
ble with respect to health and acc

tal protection, and in compliance with the legal requirements of
individual countries.

Notes

Notes contain advisory information related to the work procedure
which makes the fitter's work easier. The following pictogram indi­cates this information:

[JJ Note!

Contains advisory information which makes the work procedure eas-

Ier.

Due to the continuous development and improvement of our vehi-

cles, there may be discrepancies between the actual technical sta­tus of the vehicles and the work descriptions. Any existing
deviations are corrected by means of supplements, and the scope

of the descriptions is extended with supplements.
Porsche AG retains the right to implement changes at any time and

without prior notice.

[IJ Note!

Due to a system modification in the Technical Literature production,
the fol/owing procedures have changed in model year 2000:

1 -The previous record sheet in the folder "Q-Genera!" and

the supplement contents sheet -red sheet- have been
omitted. A supplement overview now appears sepa-

rately in each folder. The new supplement contents
sheet can be destroyed after the supplement is filed in

the folder.

rn Note!

The supplement overview sheet is replaced with the relevant
supplement in the corresponding folder and must no longer be

maintained by hand.

2 -The page numbering in the new and the replaced chap-

ters are no longer continuous. Each new chapter is now

given an additional chapter number followed by the
page number e.g.-2 Page 11 ~ Rep. Gr. 0; General.

Foreword

3 -The old page numbering still applies to existing chap-

ters and those that are not replaced.

Inserting the mixing cartridge in the bonding
gun and affixing the car window within -15
min-

To conclude the mixing procedure, pull the mixer during its

last stroke so strongly towards the rear against the piston
that a rattling noise becomes audible. Then switch off the
power drill and unscrew the mixing rod from the mixer; the
mixer then engages in the piston.

Unscrew the screw cap on the mixing cartridge and screw
on the processing nozzle (grey) -Hll-. Insert the mixing
cartridge -H6- in the bonding gun -8-.
Note: the bonding material has an open time of -15 min-,
which means that the bonding material must be applied
and the car window must be assembled within this period
of time.
