  1. Undo covering cap on test connection of fuel collection pipe and remove.
  2. Connect pressure gauge (special tool P 378a) with connecting line (special tool 9559) and connect to test connection.
  3. Actuating fuel pump with Porsche System Tester 2: The fuel pump can be actuated with the Porsche System Tester 2 or by bridging the fuel-pump relay. Via fuel-pump relay without Tester: Disconnect fuel-pump relay from the central electrical board and bridge contacts 30 and 87 (identified as 3 and 5 on the central electrical board) with a fused shop-made cable. (Scheme 3) The fuel pump must now operate or deliver fuel.
  4. Nominal test values

Stationary engine 3.8 +/- 0.2 bar

Engine idling 3.3 +/- 0.2 bar

Note. The seal or sealing ring in the brass closure cap is not exchangeable. It must therefore be used only once. Tightening torque of new brass closure cap 2.5 +/- 0.5 Nm (2.0 +/-0.5 ftlb.).

  1. Check the battery charging condition e.g. using a voltmeter or the Porsche System Tester. The battery voltage may not fall below 12 volts during the check.
  2. Reduce fuel pump supply pressure. To do this, remove the fuse carrier cover in left footwell and pull off the fuse for the fuel supply pump (level C, 4th fuse from the left). Then actuate the starter for a couple of seconds. This procedure does not cause an entry to be made in the fault memory. Insert fuse again and fit cover.
  3. Connect the Porsche Tester PST 2 in the vehicle, switch on the ignition and switch off all loads, such as the radio and air conditioning.
  4. Remove rear underside panel. To do this, the rear plastic nuts on the left side cover and the centre underside panel must be loosened.
  5. Disconnect rapid-action coupling on the fuel supply line by pressing in the locking lug -arrow- and pulling off the coupling. (Scheme 22) Collect emerging residual fuel.
  6. Connect special tool measuring adapter 9705 to the fuel pressure line with the rapid-action coupling. (Scheme 23) Be sure that the coupling is fitted correctly (must engage audibly) by pulling the line apart!
  7. Place the drainage hose in a petrol-resistant canister. Be sure that the canister does not tip over.
  8. Activate the fuel pump relay using the Porsche System Tester PST 2. To do this, select the line drive links in the DME control unit individual search and then select fuel pump relay. Activate by pressing F8 until fuel emerges from the drainage hose. Deactivate the fuel pump relay by pressing F8 and pour any leaked fuel from the canister into a petrol-resistant container. Keep a stopwatch at hand for the following measurement.
  9. Activate fuel pump relay again and keep active for 60 seconds. Collect emerging fuel in an available container. Deactivate the fuel pump relay after 60 seconds.
  10. Transfer collected fuel to a suitable measuring container and compare with the measure value specified in the following. Target values for supplied fuel quantity: - Boxster, Boxster S: at least 2.0 litres
  11. Remove special tool and attach rapid-action coupling to fuel supply line. Be sure that the coupling is fitted correctly (must engage audibly) by pulling the line apart!
  12. Install rear underside panel.
  13. Switch off ignition, switch off Porsche System Tester and disconnect.
