Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service itemIntervalTypical cost
Brake fluid
Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture over time, reducing boiling point and causing corrosion. Critical for vehicles with PCCB ceramic brakes.
95B
 2 years
£120–£180
Dealer: £180–£280
Spark plugs
Replace every 40,000 miles on turbocharged engines. Use only specified NGK or Bosch plugs. Incorrect heat range can cause pre-ignition on turbocharged variants.
95B
 40,000 miles or 4 years
£180–£280
Dealer: £280–£420
PDK fluid
Porsche claims PDK fluid is 'lifetime' but specialists strongly recommend changes at 40,000 miles to prevent valve body and clutch pack wear.
95B
 40,000 miles or 4 years
£400–£600
Dealer: £600–£900
