CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
Fig 1: Locating Front Lid (Shown With PDCC)
1. Open the front lid.
WARNING: Caustic fluids
1. Danger of chemical burns
→ Avoid contact with caustic fluid.
→ Wear personal protective gear.
→ Ensure that there is good ventilation.
→ If you do come into contact, wash off immediately with plenty of warm water and contact a
doctor if necessary.
NOTE: Aggressive fluids
1. Risk of damage to components and surfaces

→ Do not spill fluids.
→ In the event of contact, wash the component or surface with water.
→ Replace components that are already damaged.
Information
On vehicles with PDCC, the power-steering fluid reservoir is located in the combined reservoir,
which also supplies the PDCC system.
The procedure for checking the fluid level is the same on vehicles with and without PDCC.
2. Screw on cap on reservoir.
Information
Overfilling the system can cause Pentosin to overflow onto coolant hoses and other
components. The engine must be run for approx. 20 seconds prior to the fluid level check.
Check the fluid level.
3. The cap has a dipstick with a -MIN/MAX marking- . The fluid level must be between the two
markings when the engine is stopped and cold (approx. 20 °C).
Fig 2: Identifying Markings On Dipstick
4. Fluid level below -MIN- :
1. 4.1. Fill the reservoir with Pentosin.
2. 4.2. Check the fluid level again.
3. 4.3. Top it up again if necessary until the fluid level is between the two markings.
5. Fluid level above -MAX- :
1. 5.1. Remove fluid using a clean fluid extractor.

PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > INFORMATION > FUNDAMENTALS
Various kinds of damage can be caused to steering columns in the event of accidents or driving
conditions similar to accidents. In cases where the steering column shows no external damage it can be
difficult to detect damage. This damage represents an unacceptable risk for the vehicle, since it could
lead to failure of the steering system.
To decide whether the steering column of a vehicle involved in an accident must be replaced or may
continue to be used, the following guidelines are helpful.

PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > INFORMATION > ASSESSMENT OF THE STEERING
COLUMN OF A VEHICLE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT
The steering column may remain in the vehicle if all the following conditions are met:
No visible damage (breakage, cracks, deformation) to such front-axle parts as steering arms, steering
gear, steering column mountings, steering wheel and airbag unit, wheel rims, wheel bearing housing
(wheel carriers), tie rods, steering shaft or to the points on the body where wheel suspension parts are
bolted on.
No unacceptable rise in torque and no jamming or catching when the steering gear is turned from stop to
stop. When the steering is turned, the front wheels must be free (front axle raised) and, in addition, the
engine must be switched off (pump of power steering undriven).
The steering column does not catch/jam when turned separately without steering gear.
No axial play in the steering column.
The steering column must be replaced by a new or replacement unit if one of the following points
applies:
Impact is felt by occupants.
Airbag has been triggered.
Visible or perceptible damage to the steering column.
Play in steering shaft line.
Fire damage.
In addition, for vehicles with electrically adjustable steering columns, if the adjustment does not function
perfectly (the axial and/or vertical adjustment time from stop to stop is too long, unusual noises are
heard in this area).
The steering intermediate shaft and/or a universal joint is touching another component or has clearance
of less than 5 mm.
The steering wheel is more than 10° out of line when the marking for steering center position overlaps
→ Adjusting Front Axle Toe .
If permanent deformation, breakage, cracks or play have been detected in:
steering gear,
steering column mountings,
tie rods,
steering arms,
spring struts,
wheel carriers,
control arms,
front-axle carrier (chassis subframe)
then the steering column must be checked according to the criteria listed above.

WM 4890IN ASSESSMENT OF STEERING GEAR AFTER ACCIDENT DAMAGE

PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > INFORMATION > FUNDAMENTALS
Various kinds of damage can occur to the steering gear in the event of accidents or driving conditions
similar to accidents. In cases where the steering gear shows no external damage it can sometimes be
difficult and costly to detect damage. Nevertheless, this damage represents an unacceptable risk for the
vehicle, since it could lead to failure of the steering system.
A comprehensive check on all individual parts of the steering gear is not usually feasible due to the
relatively high cost and is not possible using ordinary workshop resources. Instead, consideration must
be given to the condition of other components that are easier to check.
To decide whether the steering gear of a vehicle involved in an accident must be replaced or may
continue to be used, the following guidelines are helpful.

PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > INFORMATION > ASSESSMENT OF THE STEERING OF
A VEHICLE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT
The steering gear may remain in the vehicle if all the following conditions are met:
No visible damage to such front-axle parts as wheel rims, spring struts, wheel carriers, control arms,
steering arms, tie rods, suspension subframe, the steering shaft or to the points on the body where
wheel suspension parts are bolted on.
No impermissible rise in torque and no jamming or catching when the steering gear is turned from stop
to stop. When the steering is turned, the front wheels must be free (front axle raised) and, in addition, the
engine must be switched off (pump of power steering undriven).
The permissible tolerances for wheel alignment must not be exceeded.
The steering gear must be replaced by a new or exchange unit if one of the following points applies:
Visible or perceptible damage to the steering gear.
Fire damage (e.g. steering bellows burnt).
Permanent deformation or breakage of:
Steering-gear mountings
Tie rods
Steering arms
Spring struts
Wheel carriers
Control arms
Suspension subframe
If the listed criteria are insufficient for a decision, we recommend that the steering gear be replaced with
a new or exchange unit.

PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > INFORMATION > EXCEPTIONAL
REGULATION/ORDER HANDLING
If a workshop's intended exchange of steering gear is refused by a customer or insurer for reasons of
costs, an expert or - if this is impossible abroad, the importer - should be called in at the cost of the
refusing party. If the decision contradicts the guideline, we recommend that a memorandum be drawn up
on the point and that it be countersigned by the expert.

Information
The rack-and-pinion steering gear and power-steering pump must not be repaired or dismantled!
The steering system must be flushed after replacing individual or multiple components. Additional
components must be replaced. → 489729 FLUSHING THE STEERING SYSTEM
The reservoirs must always be replaced if the hydraulic pump is replaced.
If system faults still occur after replacing a component (another component is faulty), the reservoir
does not have to be replaced again.
Damage to the power steering will occur if there is a shortage of oil in the hydraulic system. Even small
leaks can cause the fluid to escape and damage the servo pump as a result of the high oil pressure in
the hydraulic circuit.
Grunt-like noises that can be heard when the steering is locked, or foam formation in the supply tank
indicate a shortage of oil and/or that air has also been sucked in. Before filling the supply tank, any
existing leaks must be eliminated. In this case, the oil level in the supply tank must be checked with the
engine running as well as stopped! If the oil level drops to the bottom of the reservoir or bubbles rise up,
then there is air in the hydraulic system.
Only Pentosin CHF 202 may be used in the reservoir. Pentosin CHF 202 can be ordered using the
following part number: Delivery quantity: 1 liter = 000.043.203.33.
A dipstick with a MIN/MAX marking is mounted on the reservoir cap → Markings on dipstick . The
markings are for a fluid level when the engine is cold (approx. 20 °C)!

EXECUTIVE, PANAMERA PLATINUM ED., PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > CHECKING >
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
Fig 1: Identifying Reservoir
CAUTION: Increased risk of accidents and material damage if too much Pentosin CHF
202 is filled in or if Pentosin CHF 202 comes into contact with the coolant hoses when filling or topping
up.
It is possible to overfill the system, causing Pentosin CHF 202 to overflow onto coolant hoses
and other components.
→ The engine must be run for approx. 20 seconds prior to the fluid level check. Multiple steering
operations (maneuvering) will change the fluid level in the reservoir. Check the fluid level.
→ If coolant hoses come into contact with Pentosin, clean them thoroughly with water IMMEDIATELY.
→ Replace visibly swollen coolant hoses.
Information
The reservoir is located at the front left of the engine compartment.
A dipstick with MAX-MIN marks is mounted on the cap of the reservoir. They are for a fluid level with a
cold engine (approx. 20°C).
The MAX mark can easily be exceeded at higher temperatures.
Check the fluid level (Pentosin CHF 202) when the engine is stopped and when it is cold (approx. 20
°C).
The fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX markings → Markings on dipstick .
1. Start engine and leave it running at idle speed for approx. 20 seconds. Switch off engine.
2. Open engine cover and the flap of the engine compartment trim panel.
3. Open cap on the supply tank.
4. Wipe dipstick. Close and then re-open cap. The fluid level must be in the indicated range
(MIN/MAX level at approx. 20 °C). Top up with Pentosin if necessary.

EXECUTIVE, PANAMERA PLATINUM ED., PANAMERA 4 PLATINUM ED.) > BLEEDING >
BLEEDING THE STEERING SYSTEM
Information
The steering system and PDCC have a shared reservoir. If repairs are carried out on one system, it is
necessary to bleed both systems.
The reservoir must always be replaced if individual or multiple components, such as the tandem
pump, PDCC valve blocks (FA/RA), PDCC anti-roll bars (FA/RA) are replaced.
If system faults still occur after replacing a component (another component is defective), the
reservoir does not have to be replaced again.
1. After installation is complete, raise the vehicle so that the wheels are no longer touching the
ground.
2. Open engine cover and reservoir.
3. Fill reservoir up to the MAX marking, until the level no longer drops.
4. Then turn the steering to the left and to the right. Hold the steering on full lock for approx. 30
seconds on each side until the level no longer drops. Continually check the fluid level and fill to
the MAX marking again if necessary.
5. Lower the vehicle onto its wheels. Briefly start the engine, let it run for approx. 1 second and
add Pentosin again. This procedure causes the fluid level in the reservoir to fall rapidly, so
constantly add more Pentosin CHF 202. The reservoir must not be sucked dry.
6. If the fluid level in the reservoir does not fall any further when the engine is briefly turned over,
start the engine and let it run at idling speed.
7. Turn steering on full lock several times to left and right at idling speed and observe the fluid
level during this procedure (second worker required). If it continues to fall, add fluid until the
level in the reservoir remains constant and no more air bubbles circulate in the reservoir when
the steering wheel is turned.

The reservoir must always be replaced if the hydraulic pump is replaced.

Fig 1: Identifying Position Of Hydraulic Pump On Engine (Example)
Damage to the power steering will occur if there is a shortage of oil in the hydraulic system. Even small
leaks can cause the hydraulic fluid to escape and damage the servo pump as a result of high oil
pressure occurring in the hydraulic circuit.
Grunt-like noises that can be heard when the steering is locked, or foam formation in the reservoir
indicate a shortage of oil and/or that air has also been sucked in. Before filling the reservoir, any existing
leaks must be eliminated on the suction side. Alternatively, the defective part on the pressure side
should be replaced.
CAUTION: Increased risk of accidents and material damage if too much Pentosin CHF
11S is filled in or if Pentosin CHF 11S comes into contact with the coolant hoses when filling
or topping up.
It is possible to overfill the system, causing Pentosin CHF 11S to overflow onto coolant hoses
and other components.
→ Before checking the fluid level, run the engine for approx. 20 seconds. Multiple steering operations
(maneuvering) will change the fluid level in the reservoir. Check the fluid level.
