Here are Some Warning Signs That You May Need to Fix Your Porsche

european auto specialists porsche logoPorsches are great cars, but every 40,000 miles, on average, they’ll likely need some repairs or maintenance, especially if your beloved Porsche is a stylish vintage model. Here are a few warning signs to keep an eye on when it comes time to fix your Porsche.

Tires with a tread depth below 1/16 of an inch can be a serious safety hazard, especially on a Porsche. Any time the tread wears through the indicator bar, it’s time to replace those tires. Another warning sign to take into consideration is if you notice your car vibrating, especially as you go around corners.

Keep an Eye on Those Gauges to Keep Your Porsche from Overheating

If your temperature gauge sees red, it’s time to pull over—immediately. Keep driving, and you’ll need a new engine. An overheated car requires you to keep your senses open for anything unusual: any burning smells, leaking oil or other leaking fluids underneath the car. These new smells, sounds or drips could be the result of leaky, collapsed or clogged hoses. It could be a busted radiator or an engine low on coolant. Stop and let the car cool down. If it quickly heats up again after its had time to rest you may have to have it towed to a car mechanic.
Always remember to change the timing belt at the recommended mileage. A broken timing belt can cause serious, even irreparable, damage to your engine. If you are not sure on when the last time it has been replaced, have a mechanic inspect it. Better replace it before it goes, otherwise you’ll be calling your garage with a busted engine begging, “Please, fix my Porsche.”

Don’t Take Any Risks When it Comes to Flushing Your Brakes

Porsche recommends having your brakes flushed every 30,000 miles. But here’s the thing. Brakes operate in an enclosed system. If there are no leaks, nothing gets in. You could theoretically, operate on the same brake fluid for the life of the car. But if there are leaks, dirt and grit can get in and muck up the engine and braking systems. The best approach is to have the brake fluid inspected periodically, at least one a year. If the fluid is clear or light brown, you should be fine. If it’s a dark brown, you should definitely consider a flushing your brakes.
