WKA5 - Checking Fill Level Sensor for Water Spray System and Replacing it if Necessary
(Workshop Campaign)
Vehicle type:
911 GT2 RS (991)
Model Year:
2018
Subject:
Fill level sensor for water spray system
Information:
There is a possibility that the float for the water spray system fill level sensor can stick at both
the lowest and very top position due to unfavorable component tolerances on the affected
vehicles.
•
•
If the float sticks at the lowest position, the warning message "Fill coolant reservoir for charge-air
cooler - Visit workshop" will be displayed in the instrument cluster even though the reservoir for the
water spray system is still sufficiently full.
If the float sticks at the very top position, the reservoir will subsequently become empty and no
warning message will be displayed. As a result, engine power will be reduced and the pump can be
damaged.
Remedial
Action:
Check the date of production on the water spray system reservoir and replace the fill level sensor if
necessary.
Affected
Vehicles:
Only the vehicles assigned to the campaign (see also PCSS Vehicle Information). There are 684
vehicles affected in the US and Canada
