Service Introduction

Complete workshop equipment kept up-to-date with engineering

progress is an important requirement for qualified servicing of all
Porsche models. With this Handbook Workshop Equipment we are
supplying you with comprehensive information on workshop equipment
requirements and identification of the Porsche Service area. This
Handbook Workshop Equipment will help you in

– having a complete survey of workshop equipment and special tools

required for the servicing of all Porsche models,
– checking the state of your present workshop equipment,
– calculating costs for initial workshop equipment or extension and
addition of the equipment, and
– applying the Porsche identification in the service and workshop
areas to our recommendations.

We recommend that only workshop items listed in this handbook be

purchased for your Porsche Service Sector whenever possible. Only
these tools, shop equipment and machines or testers have been tested
and approved by Porsche. Only these items will be checked in regards
to further application or necessary adaptation in case of engineering
changes on our models or after introduction of new models.

New developments and model upkeep change the range of workshop

equipment items continuously. Consequently we recommend contacting
us prior to making larger investments.

Descriptions and application of the special tools, testers and other shop
equipment listed in the Handbook Workshop Equipment will be found in a
Repair Manual for a pertinent model type.

Please note the information to whom you should send your orders. It is
normally not possible to mention sources of supply which are worldwide.
Consequently we have listed the addresses of the manufacturers
whenever possible. Your orders will then be processed there or
forwarded to their partners in your country for processing.

The Handbook Workshop Equipment is kept up-to-date with supplements

as required.

Note: This Handbook Workshop Equipment is only for internal use

within the Porsche Sales Organisation.
