Cost of Fuel Filter Service

At Porsche of Annapolis -- $96 including labor. YMMV.

That's downright reasonable! They are a tad far though

The service manager said the manual was confusing but that is how they have been handling all their CDs.

Not sure what to make of it. I'm glad I saved the $$ but I'm worried that they may not know what they are talking about. But who can you trust if not the dealership?

I was in for something else so I checked and the Oil change service document hasn't changed since 7/2013 (I pulled my copy in 8/2013) so as far as PIWIS is concerned:

Also every 15,000km/10,000 miles or every year
Drain water from fuel filter -> 2034EN Draining water from fuel filter
Check and add reducing agent AdBlue -> 2688A8 Checking and adding reducing agent (AdBlue)

Unless PIWIS changes between now and when I do mine I still plan to go ahead and do it. Seems more annoying than difficult and there is no reason to give PCNA any cause for complaint should I have any warranty problems.
