Re: Gen 1 GTS PDK service
I would get it done now, it's oil and loses its properties over time/use. For the cost of a change vs the cost of a potential failure, silly not to. Should be glad Porsche have a service schedule for it, some manufacturers insist a transmission is sealed for life like they do with diffs and transfe...

Re: It's new tyre time!
I fitted these a few months ago and they're fine, early to say how long they'll last but the P zeros did about 23 k miles.

Re: Tailshaft Bolts Snapped
I know its 4 yrs later, but i have a 2015 Macan S with chrono (but have never used launch control), and ive had the exact same issue today! Under the same conditions. Except mine is long out of warranty (I'm the 2nd owner, only had it 18months). Have a terrible feeling this will cost me a fortune! ...

Re: Cost of replacement discs and pads
Just had pads and sensors done for £472; discs were well above wear limit.
Pad warning had flashed but still about 3mm to go so not urgent.

Re: 600 bhp Macan!?
Too much power. Price will be ridiculous. The carrot of `look at how much power & 0-60 times EV's get` will start to fade with the public, who cannot afford these types of cars. A Kia EV6 GT (or whatever it's called) is £60,000. For a Kia ! The cars once priced for those who couldn't even affor...

Re: Driver Card battery/need
If it's the fob you should check with insurance first as it might be a condition or give you a discount if actuated.
I often get calls from Vodaphone so it appears to work well.

Re: 6 years in and Service price shock
On my 4 year service i had the PDK, plugs, Transfer box and brake fluid done for £938-60 incl VAT. I've always done gearbox changes at about half the book interval. When and where was that Tim? ADH Porsche, just North of Coggeshall, seems ok, should have said i took my own engine oil. Bit of a pain...

Re: 6 years in and Service price shock
PDK and plugs 'should' be 4 year items but if mileage warrants, can be deferred to 6 year. I think mine will need the basic oil change, and a bit later the 4year, between the service book and the car info it’s a bit confusing but I’ve got a service plan, think I just have to pay for the basic oil c...
