I've seen costs of c£500 from Independents but what do I get for that apart from oil, filter, air filter....?
The online Porsche page is down at the moment but the full details of what is covered in the service is in your handbook. Not sure if all of that is covered by Indys though.Price check with OPC MS as they are always competitive and I can highly recommend them.
The trouble is that you can easily get out of sync with time and mileage, so it's down the them to propose and/or you to request work.
I'm just about to have a big service done and I beleive the allowed time is 3.2hrs.
Some more info..
The Polyrib belt is supposed to be at changed every 50k miles.
Plugs are supposed to be every 50k miles or at the latest, every 4 years etc.
Brake fluid every 2 years.
Manual gearbox oil is supposed to be done at 100k miles - but I will have mine done this year at 10yrs/ 135k kms as you hear reports that new fluid can improve the shift action.
They should be looking at the condition of the front engine mount at 4 and 8 years (and then evey 2 for some reason!). This could be due for replacement and if it is on its way out, there will be a noticeable improvement post-replacement.
