Preliminary work

Warning
Risk of injury from hot engine and hot engine fluids.
^ Danger of burns, scalding, damage to skin, injury to the eyes.

--> Do not carry out work on the engine while it is hot.

Warning
Hot pressurized coolant.
^ Danger of scalding and burning.

--> Only work on the coolant system when the engine is "cool".
--> Wear protective clothes, gloves and goggles.

Warning
Coolant is hazardous to health.
^ Risk of skin irritation.

--> Wear protective gloves and goggles.
--> In the event of contact with the skin or eyes, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Information
To facilitate assembly of coolant pipes and hoses, smear with Kluber Syntheso Glep or alternatively Kluberplus S06-100 assembly gel (available in the Porsche Parts Catalogue).

1. Remove engine compartment lid.
2. Drain coolant.
