DJMC Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 ...Maybe. I seem to recall him talking about the way the sidewall of the tyre moves and influences steering, in detail? Might be mistaken though... It was on a thread you'd posted on, maybe Boxa.net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andy Fagan Posted April 28, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2016 Needed to bed some tyres in for the Boxster race car so went for a jaunt in the CR. They brightened it up a bit!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted May 3, 2016 Founder Share Posted May 3, 2016 What kind of service regime are people with CR following? I realise it doesn't require anything special over and above any other Cayman, but likely owners are not putting potentially as many miles on them. I wondered whether to go for an annual oil change and then wait for 20k service or just a full service annually, not sure what to do really...

Webdunk Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm opting for annual servicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Square Images Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Warranty only requires every two years - yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warranty would require servicing as per the schedule on the car I imagine so would be 2 years or a mileage limit. Mine's not under warranty; It just feels prudent to have a performance car regularly looked after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I don't see a reason to get it serviced annually if Porsche themselves do not. Think they know its a performance car and certainly wouldn't miss out on an opportunity to get us in annually if it needed it ! Guess if it got plenty of hard use on a track or euro tour etc then a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that going annually has already paid off for me in catching an issue before it caused me a substantial problem. The exhaust clamp had almost completely failed but was hanging on due to a wee weld Porsche put at the back. Had it failed whilst driving, I may have lost the exhaust tailpipes and who knows what could have happened behind me to some poor soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of check over should be done by owner from time to time to spot potential problems. No real need to pay for a full service if you're not doing high mileage. Modern cars are machined to finer tolerances and oils/plugs etc are far better than they ever used to be. Everything is monitored an adapted by electronics so service time intervals are naturally widening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said on messenger, have a chat with Gert @@carnewal he'll be able to help with the exhaust questions, and probably about some of the other bits you want to check out too on the car.

Has a few annoying rattles, managed to fault find one today and ordered a new bit, the worst one is at the back, not the boot hatch as I've stripped everything off at the back end to find but starting to think it's suspension!

MJ Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Anyone know how long or many years aircon lasts before it needs a re-gas or refresh? Noticed mine was getting less chilled last few times and now appears to not be chilled air at all, just cool air like you would get from the blower anyway. I assume it's an OPC job? Anyone had it done already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
