I'm gonna leave the plug untill 2011 as the car has only done 2,500 since the plugs were last changed, so seems a bit over kill, but will have em checked just in case

I am embarrassed to say I have only done 3000 miles since last year when I had a minor service and a brake fluid change, the year before was a annual inspection due to low mileage which I think is what I will be looking at again.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That time of year is coming round again for a service. I am embarrassed to say I have only done 3000 miles since last year when I had a minor service and a brake fluid change, the year before was a annual inspection due to low mileage which I think is what I will be looking at again. I will be due some plugs too as will have been 13000 since they were last changed. Does anyone know what make plugs get used and what the general charge is for the privilage of having them replaced?

POST 2Original post

Standard fit on the C4S are Beru FGR 5KQE0. Porsche charge £8.96 each +VAT, but you can buy them for half that elsewhere. Book time is 1.3 hours.

POST 3Original post

I'm not sure you can do annual,minor,annual, you may have to fit in a major this year. Besides that's 1 oil change in 3 years, regardless of mileage I wouldn't encourage it.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yep, thats a good point. I did have a RMS replaced however which will have been an interim oil change but you may well be right, a major service may be forth coming...

POST 5Original post

I had an anual last year at Zentrum, year before that a minor with Brake fluid, year before that Major with Plugs, so this year I'll have a major with Brake Fluid. I'm gonna leave the plug untill 2011 as the car has only done 2,500 since the plugs were last changed, so seems a bit over kill, but will have em checked just in case Steve
