Stuno1 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Again doing more reading and notice service intervals are every 2 years or 10k miles. That’s the first car I will have owned like that. Also service prices look very reasonable on that schedule. Do you guys do any annual maintenance?

Stu Thought it was 2 years or 20k miles , whichever is first (happy to be 981 schooled there as I’m a 987 owner). Some folks will be along to say annual oil change on top of that. @daz05 is a good source of 981 info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the intervals are reasonable. Costs can add up to the add-ons required, an OPC service for example doesn't include spark plugs, belts, brake fluid etc, they are all "options" (well mandatory options for upkeep and especially if you have warranty) but I've spent more on lesser cars for servicing. Enjoy the hunt for your new ride. Edited December 1, 2021 by iborguk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuno1 Posted December 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Ahhhh ok interesting. So I imagine unless it a major service the cost every 2 years will be around £800 with major being £1k ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 My 981 actually costs less to run than my VW golf because it needs to go for a service annually and the major is every 2nd year. I have a guide on YouTube covering preventative maintenance you can do on your own to try and prevent trips to the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the rear wheel well protection idea to prevent/limit stone chip damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
