I don't have a service manual for my 2003 99tt. I was told that the only service needed other than oil changes is at 30k and 60k miles. My car was at the dealership today for a stereo issue and they told me that i needed routine service at 15k mi (my car has 23k mi now). Is this true and do most of you get this done?
I'm getting a giac flash with flashloader and dv's next week. I'm ready for the fun factor to increase again.

 

I've been trying to find a link or pdf that lists the manufacturers minimum recommended maintenance for the 996TTs.... most often the dealer 'over-recommends' these 'servce packages' that are little more than an excuse to bend you over and extract many hundreds of dollars from you.

Even the service at 30K and 60K are pretty routine in my opinion. Nothing really major.
