Hey Folks,

I currently have a nice 964 and am looking at adding a 1986 930 to the garage today. I will be inspecting it this afternoon. I have been looking around and have been unable to find a manufacturer or even hobbyist suggested service interval/maintenance schedule for the 930 or even the 911 of the same vintage. For most cars it seems a nice complete list can be found (ex: when doing the maintenance on my ex-308 GTS, there were complete lists). I would like to see what is the suggested mileage/intervals for replacing belts, valve adjustment, tensioners, spark plugs, etc. This 930 does not have tons of maintenance records (would get it at a reduced price, I know that is part of the risk) and would like to factor in what maintenance I should do. I am a DIY type of guy but would also be interested in hearing what service shops have charged some of you for such maintenance (valve adjustment, plugs, etc.) and then can use that info when determining a value for the car.

Thanks!
Shane

Most of this applies.

Thanks for the replies. The Excel document posted in one of those prior threads will suffice for now. Please excuse my ignorance but I thought the 930 used a timing belt, not chain, and I do not see replacement of that on the list.

No stinking T belts on any Porsche flat sixes.

I am a "noob" I guess But I did end up buying the 930 today and am very happy with it! Thanks for the help.
