Ok so on my first CD, I bought it right before the 40k was due. In fact my first trip to the service department with it, was for the 40k service.

Now, as I recall, it was expensive. $1800 or so. Cha-ching! I didn't ask, or question, I just had them do it. I want to say (but now this was over 2 years ago) that it included a brake fluid flush and trans service? I *do* remember they changed my wiper blades, at $80/each.

My current CD is due for it's 40k in the next few weeks so I decided to see what's all "in there", as I'm not interested in $240 worth of wiper blades this time. All I see in the owners manual for 40,000 mile service on the CD is oil change and AdBlue (the usual oil change service), a cabin filter.... and a bunch of "check" or "inspect."

Am I missing something?

Here is what my dealership wrote up under the 40K service:
Check Tire Pressure
Oil and Filter Change
Replace Fuel Filter and Drain Water
Lube and Service all Doors and Sunroof
Perform Multipoint inspection
Check Drive Belt
Fill up Ad Blue
Engine Air Filter
Cabin Air Filter

I'm not sure what "Panorama roof: Adapt control module" entails... I've been idly curious about it.

So diffs, transfer case, and tranny are all due for oil change only at 160k miles?

Ours is right at 39k miles. Looks like I'll be doing my normal service plus a cabin air filter and checking off the 40k service myself. What a scam!

So I spoke to the dealer. I started the conversation referencing that I'd reviewed the owners manual to see what was entailed in the official 40k. Their response was that they usually recommend, as a 40k service, the following:

- Oil change and AdBlue
- Cabin Filter
- Engine Air Filter
- Diesel Fuel Filter
- Tire Rotation
- Clean Body Drains

I know with past diesel pickup trucks I've owned, you generally changed the fuel filter "every other oil change." I just did a tire rotation myself not too long ago. So I gave them the OK to do the rest. Fuel filter is usually messy and it's hard to get diesel smell out of anything... and F it, do the two air filters + clean the drains too. It'll look good on the service record.

She wrote the appointment up as "partial 40k service".... whatever.

Fuel filter on this one is a really easy/clean job to do, takes maybe 10 minutes.

When I had my 2011 Touareg TDI, there was a procedure to prime the canister with fuel and bleed the air out with VCDS. Is there such a procedure with whatever Porsche equivalent scan tool or will cycling the key a few times basically do the same thing?

skiahh

Brake flush is every 2 years. That's a pretty standard thing to ensure there's no moisture in the fluid (that does absorb moisture). I think they figure the average miles per year is 10K, so at 40, you'd be due for a flush.

Sudar

I believe my s2k manual said every 3 years. Had the entire 60k service plus extras done for $100 bucks took guy 1 hour

When should i consider changing tranny oil?? at 80K or something?

Spyerx

Its not specified. I'll do all my diffs/trans/transfer case at 80k. Car is under warranty for 2 more years...

cycle the key a few times.
