Car has 33k miles and will be about 35k by the service interval:
Oil / filter
Brake flush
PDK oil/filter
Spark plugs
air filter
cabin filter

Anything else?

I'd do the transfer box as well, takes very little oil or time and good insurance.

9Y0 specifies “transfer gear” aka north-south torque coupling oil change at 40k miles. Good practice especially on Porsche SUVs with generations of well-known drivetrain weakness.

Ok, yeah I'm familiar with this from my old Cayenne.

Thanks all

Big service, should I trade it? :-)

Serpentine Belt?

Is there a write up on PDK oil/filter change?

As well as the transfer box?

**Whats a dealership typically charge for something like this ? Im approaching 60K and I dont believe the previous owner has done this.

Tim Cooper

Had mine done a few months ago, PDK service was GBP 350 and Transfer box GBP 52. This was at six years and 25k miles.

Low speed gear changes were definitely better afterwards but i do a lot of back roads so more gear changes apart from a couple of trips to Marseille.

Did you do it yourself or this is thru dealer?

Tim Cooper

Independent Porsche specialist; i'm too busy at the moment and there's a very good place 20 miles away.

Appreciate that, I can sympathize with business, which is why I was hoping you took it somewhere for those rates. I wonder what the dealers here in the US charge for this kind of thing.

Here’s an idea…call your localPorsche dealer and ask them what’s included and what’s the charge.

NJR1986

OMG ! Genius ! WOW youre really on to something

Dealer labor rates vary widely around the country. The important thing to know is what is your local dealer’s rate. You could get several replies here, but they’d all be dependent on their local labor rates. My local dealer in Austin, TX charges $325 per hour. My doctor and dentist have lower rates.

Where do you see this on the scheduled maintenance list? I only see the rear drive specified at 160k miles. I don't see anything on transfer gear in items published.

Thanks

The "transfer gear" is the north-south multiplate wet clutch torque coupling between transmission and rear propshaft. Easy job, just limited access and need to work under the car.
