Most common Porsche faults investigated during servicing?
There are common faults that could happen due to age and wear and tear of a car. However, during a routine Porsche service we mainly look for faults around engine management systems, chassis, electrical systems and transmission systems. Porsche cars, as any other car, needs routine checks and maintenance to ensure a great and reliable driving experience and to reduce unexpected repair bills.
Probably the most expensive problem to solve with Porches is to have to renovate the interior. Matching seat material is difficult to obtain and needs complete replacement to avoid the non-matching of naturally faded originals and new material.
Less expensive, but common faults include electrical faults such as electric windows, electric mirrors, rear wipers, rear hatch release and electric sunroofs not working. These can be serviced or repaired with a mixture of new, used and reconditioned parts. The electric fault could also include damaged and broken spotlights and headlights.
As many service centers do not touch it during routine servicing, it is not uncommon (even with a car with a full service history), to find brake disc pads totally seized in the calliper housing and discs and pads worn out or cracked. A gearbox-whine caused by wear to the main input bearing is common, even though it does not necessarily indicate serious unreliability. Grumbling noises at the rear usually indicates that the differential side bearings are worn. Also over a period of time, the small bands that make up the rear de-mister in the rear window, can fail. There could also be faults that could affect Porsche water cooled engines.
