Porsche Carrera GT - 5k mile service

link no worky

what are they doing??

no way thats a 5k service, make a 48 month service, but not all that after 5k

This is the 4 yr major service.......according to Porsche is due irregardless of mileage. The valve adjustment is not being performed due to insufficient mileage.

D'oh, I believe you are correct, I think that is indeed a 48 month service. I was going by the thread title on the site. The confusion may be perhaps because the owner had only put 5k miles on the car? Anyway, one of the posters on the site said:



The link is fixed now.

yup, saw that thread on 6speed, total BS to have to do a value adjustment cause of time and not miles.

I got this from another site.


So when I look at this service I see that the oil & oil filter, transmission fluid, a drive belt and a coolant regulator are changed along with a bunch of visual inspections, which in my experience are "opportunities" for the dealership. Oh and the plugs and air filter are - possibly - changed. Wow.

You're right, he's taking it up the ass for no reason.

holy shit this car is amazing!!! and thats one intensely involved service!!!
