Re: Oil change warning v service indicator

Well I bit the bullet and had the full service done 3 months early at a cost of approx £1250 including vat. Bit that really gets me is the three labour charges for cleaning out the various drains which came to almost £350!!! Service indicators now say service due in 20,000 miles or 2 years but the o...

Re: Porsche Macan EV delayed

Problem with getting any EV is charging out here in the sticks, I have a drive and a 7kW charger for the wife’s Mini, but to charge anything with a bigger battery I’d need 3 phase power to the house and a conservative estimate for that was over £15k and that’s if I dug the trench across my garden an...

Re: Oil change warning v service indicator

Been through the service info screens, see attached photos, one says service in 5200 miles or June 23 and the other says Oil change now. That’s the only info I have other than the oil level indication which shows it to be pretty much full as I added a litre of oil a couple of months ago.

Re: Boot lid opens when car starts!

Not only a Porsche problem, my wife’s JCW Mini Countryman rear hatch used to randomly open itself and close itself when you had your head inside loading it. She would come back to the car park and find the boot lid open when it was definitely shut when she left it. Only did it when parked, never whe...

Re: Oil change warning v service indicator

On-track makes an interesting point, I had no warning to change oil in xxx miles just the message on the mfd screen “oil change now”. Have others had a countdown warning for oil change, on my previous Macan I remember getting a countdown to when it needed a service. The comment about it happening af...

Re: Oil change warning v service indicator

Like the thought of saving money but not the thought of laying in the drive under the car in this weather - garage occupied by my Lotus - all up on stands mid rebuild. Nearest indy Porsche specialist almost as far away as the dealer and their prices aren't cheap either. Not doing much mileage recent...

Re: It's new tyre time!

Soon need new tyres on the GTS, currently got 20"Goodyear which are ok but down to about 4mm after 15k. Previous S had Michelin all season which lasted just over 30k and I was very happy with them, undecided whether to splash out the extra £200 for the Michelins (not all season) On cost / mile ...

Oil change warning v service indicator

Just got back from having a problem with my June 2021 GTS fixed at the dealer including a revised software update to fix the rear seatbelt warning indication. On stopping on the way home I got a warning flash up on the dash saying Oil Change required. I've checked the oil level and its around 80%. T...
