Independent Porsche Repair
MAIDSTONE AND KENT

There are a few common problems that Porsche car owners may experience with their vehicles. It can help you know what to expect regarding your cars' repairs when purchasing a new or used Porsche. Here are some of the most frequent problems the Porsche owners come across with their cars: 

Oil Leaks
One of the most common issues found in Porsche vehicles is oil leaks. This issue usually occurs at the rear main seal, and to repair the problem, you will need to take out the car's transmission. 

Clutch Pedal
Porsche owners, particularly with the 911 Turbo models, may also experience a heavy clutch. This issue is usually caused by the pressure accumulator, which maintains the hydraulic pressure required to operate the clutch when the car is stationary. If you find that your Porsche has a heavy clutch, this may suggest that the accumulator is open and pressure is being re-released into the system. A basic repair involves simply replacing this system. 

Low Battery Power
The next common problem experienced by Porsche owners is low battery power. Unlike more practical road cars, sporty model Porsches tend to be driven irregularly. This infrequency in operation can lead to their batteries becoming seriously drained or even completely flat.

 Compared to other manufacturers, this seems to be a specific problem affecting Porsches. It is often best to employ a battery maintainer when you are thinking of storing your Porsche for more than a fortnight to prevent this from happening. 

It may not be welcome news to find that Porsches are often the most expensive to maintain, service, and repair all luxury car brands. Their high-performance nature means that trained technicians and specialists must provide these repairs. 

While Porsches do not require as many repairs as, say, BMWs, even a basic oil change can set you back a few hundred pounds, meaning that Porsche maintenance and spare parts costs can quickly rack up over time.
