50 IN GENERAL INFORMATION AND NOTES ON QUALITY - AS OF MY 2005 (ALL MODELS) MEASURES FOR MAINTAINING LONG-TERM BODY PROTECTION NOTE:

   

 



  



After repair work, the standard corrosion-inhibiting coating should only be restored with the corrosion-inhibiting agents approved by the manufacturer. The following points must be observed for body repairs.

Always apply welding primer to both sides of the welding flange when resistance spot welding. Prime repair areas from outside. Prime on both sides in the accessible areas. Seal all sheetmetal overlaps, sheetmetal edges, butt joints, weld seams etc. with body sealant. When replacing structurally bonded body parts, proceed according to the information in the respective repair instructions. Only apply body sealant to primed sheetmetal parts. Apply top coat paint to the inside of the outer sheetmetal shell before welding. See "Paint build-up": --> "Paint Manual" Build up paint on bare sheetmetal panels according to the painting methods described in the --> "Paint Manual". Repair or create standard undersealing by applying long-life undersealing material. Preserve cavities in the repair area with cavity preservative after applying a top coat paint. Check that the standard water drains (plugs) function correctly or clean them after the cavity preservation material has dried.

Prerequisite for maintaining the long-life guarantee

All body repair work must be carried out correctly and according to the specific Porsche instructions for sheetmetal, paint and corrosion protection/preservation work. To avoid jeopardising the long-life guarantee, a Paint Condition Report is prepared two years after delivery of the vehicle. This condition report must be updated annually by every Official Porsche center. ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES NOTE:



If electronic components, e. g. ABS control module, have been removed for repair work and are then reused, they must undergo a functional check after fitting in accordance with existing specifications.

Battery trickle charge



To prevent the vehicle battery from discharging while at the workshop, a battery charging unit with a rated current of at least 40 A must be connected as soon as the vehicle is unlocked.

Refer to 27 06 01 BATTERY TRICKLE CHARGE - AS OF MY 2005 (ALL MODELS) for instructions about connecting the battery charging unit. Protection against overvoltage when performing welding work

To protect electronic control units from overvoltage during electric arc welding, the following work regulations must be observed: 

 



When welding work is extensive, the electronic control units must be removed. Ensure that there are no electrically insulated parts between the ground connection and the welding point. Remove clamp from negative terminal of battery and cover negative terminal of battery. Connect the ground connection of the electric arc welding equipment as near as possible to the welding point on the part to be welded. Do not touch electronic control units or electric cables with the ground connection or the welding electrode.

Replacing control modules

The replacement of electronic control modules after an accident is necessary if at least one of the following conditions is met: The housing is noticeably deformed or damaged. The supporting surface or bracket is deformed (the unit shows no external damage). The plug connection is damaged or corroded by moisture. Functional checks or self-diagnosis of the unit reveals the fault "Control module faulty".

50 IN BODY PARTS OF VARIOUS SHEETMETAL STRENGTHS - AS OF MY 2005 (ALL MODELS) HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL PLATES NOTE:



Only "Original Porsche parts" must be used for repair work!

Body parts of high-strength steel contribute to better protection of the passenger compartment and thus increase protection of the passengers. In addition to improved crash safety, these parts also have a positive influence on fatigue strength. In terms of crash behavior, body parts made from high-strength sheet steel are characterised by their higher energy absorption. But this also means that higher reshaping force must be applied in reshaping work. Microsoft Monday, September 21, 2009 12:13:12 PM

Danger of injury and material damage

used! The body and floor assembly are produced in series from deep-drawn panels. For this reason, accident damage must be reshaped in the same way. Body repairs by reshaping are not possible if these body parts are correspondingly deformed. Here, the repair must be carried out using new parts or by means of sectional repairs. The separation of damaged body parts after reshaping against the accident direction should not take place until after connection pieces have been straightened. WELDING WORK NOTE:



The use of the oxyacetylene welding process is not permissible for body parts made of high-strength steel! Test welding must be carried out in the case of resistance spotwelding (RP) of different panel strengths!

The body parts made from high-strength steel can be welded using the RP resistance spot-welding and MIG welding processes that are customary in workshops. RESHAPING NOTE:



Only "Original Porsche parts" or sections of "Original Porsche parts" may be used for repair work! The separation of damaged body parts should not take place until after reshaping against the accident direction has taken place and connection pieces have been straightened!

Body repairs by reshaping are not possible if these body parts are correspondingly deformed. Here, the repair must be carried out using new parts or by means of sectional repairs. SEPARATION POINTS NOTE:



Separation points which influence the strength of the body, and thus also the operating and traffic safety of the vehicle, must be carried out according to the specifications of the relevant Technical Manual covering body repair! Body reinforcements can be separated or joined together only if this is specified in the method descriptions. Otherwise, a damaged reinforcement must always be replaced with a new one!

AN ACCIDENT Notes

NOTE:



A body is constructed so that it has deformable zones in the front and rear areas. These deformable zones enable absorption of impact energy through their special design. The bearing structure in these areas is adapted by a specific cross section reduction to provide optimum energy reduction in the event of an impact. Due to the vehicle dimensions in the side area of the body, deformable zones cannot be provided for absorbing energy. The impact energy can only be absorbed to a lesser extent here through the deformation of doors and pillars. This is also the case for the roof area where only the roof skin can absorb impact energy to a very small extent. In these areas, passenger protection is guaranteed by a rigid design of the passenger cell. The aim of this design is to absorb the impact energy in defined areas to keep the passenger cell as free of damage as possible in the event of an accident. If the passenger cell has been deformed in the event of an accident, extremely large reshaping forces can be expected. Repair work is often only possible in this case by replacing body parts. In general, an impact occurs diagonally or offset to the vehicle axle so that mixed forms are usually the result of a front and side impact or a rear and side impact. The deformation is not always restricted to the impact area. Due to inertia forces of masses, such as running gear, drive line, occupants of the vehicle and load or the body itself, deformation can also occur in the opposite areas. The following work sequence should provide assistance to correctly determine the scope of damage of vehicles damaged in an accident.

Work sequence for determining scope of damage to vehicles involved in an accident

1. Identify impact points on the outer shell or the wheels 2. Remove accessories which limit view of the impact area 3. Check unit mounts, running gear parts and steering parts for deformation and cracks 4. Determine scope of damage on the body See Identifiable deformations on the body structure See No identifiable deformations on the body structure 5. Repair vehicle, if necessary.
