I don�t have the skill set or facilities to drop an engine or change out a clutch, etc, but I do all my fluids, replaced mufflers and motor mounts.etc.
Leading evidence: 'Replace mufflers and motor mounts.etc' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check fluid level requires a lazer heat meter' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

And the procedure for checking the fluid level requires a lazer heat meter.

Dealer in Los Angeles I recently asked for quotes to replace tiptronic trans fluid and filter, and replace differential fluid.

Learning how to change your own fluids will save you a lot of money.

Asked for a quote for replacing trans fluid and filter and replace differential fluid from an independent shop and it was $375 labor, and $176.04 trans fluid, $31.62 trans gasket, $72.55 trans filter, for $655.21 total.
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.

Hello everyone,
this doesn't seem right. I just called prestige imports, my dealership, and they told me it would cost about $1000 to change the transmission oil on my 2003 911 tiptronic.
Is that price normal? please advise?
Nope, i actually took my car to my local mechanic that has been specialized in classic Porsches for 25 years and he told me he couldn�t do it himself and i should take it to my dealer...
Having done this on my 03, it's not easy. You have to piece together a device to force the fluid in through a special one-way valve. And the procedure for checking the fluid level requires a lazer heat meter.
But yeah, $1K is too much. I think my local P-dealer said around $700, which makes sense. It's easily three hours of work, plus the cost of the fluid and gasket/filter.
Dealer in Los Angeles I recently asked for quotes to replace tiptronic trans fluid and filter, and replace differential fluid. Was quoted $570 for trans fluid "renewal", and differential fluid "service" $350. In her quote no mention of trans filter or gasket. Don't know why service advisor didn't include trans filter in her quote, and why not say "replacement" of fluid instead of "renewal" and "service" which are not as accurate?
Asked for a quote for replacing trans fluid and filter and replace differential fluid from an independent shop and it was $375 labor, and $176.04 trans fluid, $31.62 trans gasket, $72.55 trans filter, for $655.21 total. Went with the indy because other needed work was way way less, but his invoice doesn't have any mention of the differential so I am not sure if it is done? We talked about him replacing the differential fluid and I asked him via text if he did it, but he didn't reply.
Porsche tax is real and seriously ridiculous. Getting into these cars, it's best to learn to do basic maintenance yourself or else you'll be spending the cost of the car just on labor. Buy some tools, pull up DIYs, and grab a beer. Save the extra $$$ for a rainy day.
I second that. When purchasing my 00� Cab, the PO had everything done, and kept all receipts. Looking through these work orders, I was shocked at the costs of routine maintenance to the point where I wasn�t going to buy the car. However a friend who has several p-cars encouraged me to go forward with the purchase and he�d help me along. Now two years later I�ve steadily taken on repairs or elective upgrades myself and it�s become part of the hobby, and I enjoy it while saving some money. I don�t have the skill set or facilities to drop an engine or change out a clutch, etc, but I do all my fluids, replaced mufflers and motor mounts.etc. My next goals are coils and plugs.
I never worked on cars growing up, but this forum, YouTube and others will certainly help any novice find their way. Have fun!
