I didn't have 4 jack stands (only 2 and 2 ramps) so I installed the old fill plug, dropped the car, drove it up and down the street twice, re-lifted and was able to get just under 200ml more in. I can't imagine you'd want a significant amount more in as the total fill is only supposed to be 0.6L correct?

T case oil question
.6 liter is the amount
Special order fluid
Drain is easy
Fill requires
Fill transfer case until coming out of fill hole. Putting transmission and suspension in service position. Running the wheels in the air (30 cm off the ground) for a minute with the carden shaft at exactly 500 rpm. This can be controlled through the PIWIS. Then top up the fluid and let it drop for exactly 2 minutes. Then close.
I have. Reader that I think can do it, but I only have a 4 post lift.
It still baffles me that Porsche service advisors don't know the recommended service for the cars they sell.

I understand that Porsche has this extended warranty where this problem gets you an additional 7 years of coverage and it's transferable! That awesome! Mine missed the window, it expired a year ago and the problem just started. I am the second owner, we've only owned this car a year.

About to hit 40,000 miles on our 2020 and getting estimates. Both dealers I called were surprised this was a service. Then one quoted me $2900 and the other is getting back to me. Anyone have this done yet? And how much did you pay. I looked up how to do it and you need a 2 post lift and a PIWIS.
One step says to lower the car until the wheels are 30cm off the ground. WTF?

I realized my independent Euro shop did not change the temperature sensor. It's been about 2 years and 20K miles with no issues though.
Has this part been known to fail? If so I'll bring it up next time for them to change it out, or just wait for the next TC fluid change interval.
