First maintenance service after two years

[TomekGnomek]

Hi, have any of you done first service / maintenance?

In my case after 1,5 years and 40k kms there was a popup saying the cabin air filter needs replacing.

Car was at the shop and total was a little over 1k EUR for:
- Additional inspection of water drains
- 40k km service inspection
- Additional bi-annual inspection (every 2 years)
- Air conditioning system cleaning
- A/C disinfectant agent
- Cabin pollen/odour filter cartridge
- Brake fluid x2
- Coolant (concentrate)
- Other consumables / shop supplies

For that price they should’ve included some Blue Steam and adjusted the Power Bands.

Brake Fluid’s “reasonable” after two years. Otherwise, leave it to Porsche to figure out a way to profit from service on a virtually maintenance-free platform.

Cabin filter is certainly a DIY item. If you have the means and knowledge to get the vehicle in the air and pull wheels off the brake fluid change is also a reasonable DIY project (you can make it happen easily with a Motive Power Bleeder). When the wheels are off it's a great time to detail wheel wells as well as clean the wheel barrels. The rest of the work done is essentially "fluff".

Expectation: 15 eur filter + 10 eur 1L DOT4 + 50 eur labor = 75 eur
Reality: 150 eur
Porsche: 1K eur

The only thing that caught my attention was the coolant. Does that mean they flushed the battery coolant? Does anyone think that could be a DIY? I tend to think anything battery related is not likely going to be DIY.

I’d like to know how they do the A/C cleaning and disinfecting. There have been issues in the past with certain BMWs that had mold buildup.
