The RTS team is researching how to find these tools to make it easier for technicians performing these procedures. As we research the location of these special tools, we are compiling the information in a series of OEM-specific articles.
Tools and equipment needed are identified in vehicle-specific service manuals. Porsche HV tools can be found using the following steps:
