The Ultimate Guide to Porsche Scheduled Maintenance: What You Need to Know

Unfortunately, even Porsche components will eventually wear out, reducing vehicle performance. As your Porsche Center, we offer a complete range of services and Porsche maintenance to keep your vehicle in perfect shape.

Examples of Porsche Maintenance Available at Your Porsche Center

Starter Repair

The starter is a crucial system, as it initiates the crank that starts the combustion process and brings your Porsche to life. When you hit the start button, the battery sends a powerful electrical charge to the starter solenoid. This charge activates the solenoid, which powers the starter, and you expect to hear the sound of your finely tuned engine within seconds.

In time, the starter can wear out, but it can also fail due to issues like a damaged starter solenoid, a blown fuse, or other problems. Additionally, the starter won’t work if the battery is weak and can’t supply enough power to let it crank the engine. If your Porsche won’t start, our expert technicians will investigate and repair the problem or replace the starter, and your Porsche will be ready for the road in no time.

Air Filter Replacement

Your Porsche has two air filters: one for the engine and the other for the cabin. The engine air filter removes dirt, twigs, and other debris before the air passes into the engine to mix with the fuel used to produce combustion. The cabin air filter removes dust and pollen from the air before it blows into the cabin. In time, both filters will become blocked by dirt, and this causes serious problems.

A blocked engine air filter reduces the amount of air in the engine, turning the engine fuel-rich. A fuel-rich engine wastes fuel as most of it can’t burn due to lack of air. It will also cause misfiring or stall your engine. A blocked cabin air filter produces a dusty, musty smell and allows pollen and minute debris into the cabin. Once the filters are replaced, your engine will work efficiently again, and the cabin will smell fresh.

Alternator Replacement

The alternator is a small component with a big job. It spins at high speed, generating electricity that powers all your Porsche systems and devices. As time passes, the alternator will slow down due to worn and damaged components. This slowdown is irreversible and will affect your vehicle’s electrical supply.

When the amount of power from the alternator drops below your vehicle’s requirements, random electrical problems will appear. These worsen over time, and the battery will lose power as it can’t completely recharge. We’ll replace your alternator to fix this issue.
