Common issues with Porsches include oil leaks, coolant leaks, and suspension faults. While different models may have their specific repair issues, leaks are a recurring problem. Coolant leaks can cause severe damage if they lead to engine overheating.

Porsches require regular servicing to maintain their performance and reliability. The recommended service intervals are:

  1. Minor service: every 20,000 miles
  2. Major service: every 40,000 miles

It is recommended to take your vehicle to a Porsche Service Centre or an Independent Porsche Specialist near you when it’s due for servicing.
