Notes on replacing pressure hoses

Note!
^ Faulty pressure hoses can be replaced in sections.
^ Using a plug connection, individual sections of pressure hoses can be safely joined again.





^ The pressure hoses are correctly fitted when the first colour marking (self applied) is no longer visible.

The following points must be observed when choosing the repair point:
- the repair point must lie in an area protected from water spray
- the plug connection must be secured with tie-wraps to the structure or a cable guide
- straight pipe sections should be chosen for the repair
- position the pressure hose back in its original fastenings
- insert the ends of the pressure hoses firmly into the plug connection.

Repair
1. Lifting the vehicle.





2. To bleed the air suspension (air pressure must be allowed to escape out of system - if this has not already happened due to the faulty line), use the Porsche System Tester. To do this, select the menu item bleed air suspension in the air suspension system.





^ When repairing the pressure hose, cut off the damaged section squarely using the cutters VAS 6228.





^ Mark the pressure hose to be replaced in colour (e.g. with a waterproof marker). Measured from the cut-off end of the hose, make -two coloured marks at 16 mm and 22 mm respectively (arrows)-. The coloured marks are to ensure that the pressure hose is inserted sufficiently far into the plug connection.

Caution! When filling the air suspension the vehicle lifts!

To fill the air system, use the Porsche System Tester. To do this, select the menu item fill air suspension in the air suspension system. Switch on level control.
