Freebie: 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet Service Information

2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S Cabriolet

The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S Cabriolet Service Information is not intended as a reference for repairs or for the diagnosis of technical problems.

Like the 911 Carrera Coupé and the 911 Carrera S Coupé, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet models once again set standards with respect to performance, fuel consumption and comfort. As with the Coupé, approx. 90% of all parts have been redesigned or fundamentally revised.

The intelligent lightweight construction has contributed to a reduction of 132 lbs (60 kg) in the vehicle weight on the one hand and to high body rigidity on the other. A unique, completely redesigned fabric convertible top with magnesium elements creates the continuous coupé-style roofline.

This, together with the integrated wind deflector, which is electrically operated for the first time, has set new standards in the cabriolet segment. A high level of qualification throughout the entire AfterSales organization is essential to meet the high expectations of Porsche customers, in spite of the ever-increasing complexity of the technology used in the vehicles and the growing number of different variants.

This Service Information Technik describes the technical modifications that have been made to the 911 Cabriolet generation based on the vehicles from the 2nd generation 997 (model years 2008 to 2012) as well as the 991 Coupé models.

The Service Information Technik does not contain any technical data or part numbers; it is not intended for use as a basis for carrying out repairs or troubleshooting technical problems. Further information for this purpose is available in PIWIS. Use should also be made of the information from the Porsche Academy.
