The Porsche maintenance schedule only calls for replacement of the differential and transmission fluid at 90k miles.

 

did it run like a jetta? just kiddin bro. if ya ever wanna sell it...

 

yeah, but don't believe that sh*t either. i think they wrote the manuals for all the guys we bought the cars from.. that didn't drive 'em

 

LOL!! Well, 90-100k mi is not an outrageous mileage for a normal car. For a vehicle like this, 50k would probably be more appropriate.

 

The car ran fine; not sure how good it was for me though . That said, I ride a bike most days; that's probably a lot worse; not much for pollen filters in helmets

 

i hear ya. just got my old flattrack triumph back today while changing out brake pads in the cage. today is a good day in the garage

redline 90 in the trans at 60k or over. no matter what unless ya like "notchy"

 

I have a Triumph too . Granted a little different but hey, it's a Triumph

Anyway, sorry for the massive OT!!

 

thanks i will be sure to bring it to my mechanic tomorrow.

 

awesome bike bro. clearly you're younger than me

here's a pic that's last renovation. the hint is the 993 eyes in the foreground

another triumph ride. big up.

apologies again to the OP for the thread swerve.. again, if you need someone in socal to help. there's a lot of us can steer you properly for help. there are no $900.00 maf's.

 

Very nice! I'm in my 30s. Probably the appropriate age for a sport bike. Lots of kids in their early 20s on these bikes that sadly end up killing themselves.

 

i know. we have copters up here every weekend picking up parts. or remains,.. as it were. nice bike, we won't be racing ( bikes )

 

I thought it was pretty kick a@* myself!

 

My 03 Turbo has over twice that 45K miles, at now just over 95K miles.

What to do maintenance wise?

Whatever is due based on time or miles: spark plugs (I hate to admit but I lost track of miles and the plugs went over 60K miles and while they came out ok they definitely looked they needed replacing, even though the engine was running ok with them in and didn't seem to improve any after they were replaced don't do as I did but replace them on time or miles as Porsche says), fuel filter, cabin air filter (it can get smelly if left in service too long), and engine air filter

I like to change the coolant every 4 to 5 years.

In this same area, keep the trash out of the radiator ducts. If bad have the bumper cover removed and the areas cleaned out thoroughly then every so often have the trash blown out. When I take my cars in for servicing the techs blow the trash out to keep it from building up and requiring the time/labor (an hour) to remove the bumper cover and clean the trash out.

Oh, and I border on fanaticism in having the oil/filter service done every 5K miles.

As for tranny/diff fluids, the techs tell me that if one doesn't or can't hold out until the fluids are due IIRC at 90K miles cut that mileage number by 30% or even 50%.

I subscribe to an early fluid change philosophy, so in the case of my Turbo I had the tranny/diff fluid changed at around 45K miles. A complication was during the prelims to this service the tech spotted a tranny fluid leak and the transmission was replaced under warranty.

I had the replacement tranny fluid replaced just recently at around 90K miles.

Be sure the brake fluid/clutch fluid is flushed/bled every 2 years.

Other than that keep an eye on vital fluid levels and generally if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Sincerely,

Macster.

 

nice! saved that..thanks..
