Common Porsche Repairs, Services, & Upgrades

Typical Repairs

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Unfortunately, with every car, problems occur — and a Porsche is no exception. The check engine light is the first sign and an excellent early warning system notification that allows you to better understand the condition of your German engineered vehicle. If the OBD system has detected an issue with your Porsche, the check engine light will turn on. No need to fret, though, our expert Porsche technicians can assess the source of the problem at hand and repair it without hesitation. We’ll let you know what’s wrong, how we’ll fix it, and the cost to expect for a repair.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Because of internal combustion within the strong engine of a Porsche, your vehicle’s engine oil levels are not always as high as they should be. To keep your Porsche in its best condition, we suggest you keep a keen eye on the level of your car’s oil — or, better yet, schedule regular oil changes with our Porsche master technicians. We recommend that Porsche owners consult their owner’s manuals to find the best information regarding oil change intervals for their specific model.

PROBLEMATIC BRAKES

No squeaking or squealing should be coming from your Porsche’s brake pads. So, if you hear some sounds that you’re not too happy about, it probably means your brakes are ready to be checked, if not replaced. Although this is not the biggest problem you could run into, it’s one that could affect your safety. If you have worn-out pads or a worn-down drum, then you’ll lose braking power. It’s best to replace pads when they’re worn, so that you don’t damage the brake components themselves, which will be a far more costly repair.

AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT

Fairly common in Porsches, if your Porsche’s airbag malfunction light randomly flashes on and off, there could be an issue within the sensor of the airbag. An experienced Porsche repair specialist can take care of this problem for you when you notice it becomes an issue (usually around the 100,000-mile mark). The fix is usually only a few dollars, yet it’ll give you the peace of mind you need to know your airbag will work correctly in case of an accident.

CLUNKS

No Porsche should sound like a 30-year-old lemon. If you start to hear clunks coming from under the hood, it could be due to shocks, ball joints, or even the exhaust system. Constant wear and tear can make this unfortunate problem become a reality. The only solution is to call a German automotive specialist for assistance. When you call on Avalon Motorsports, we’ll take a look under the hood and locate the source of that off-putting clunking sound, and then we’ll get to work fixing the problem. Again, we don’t recommend that you drive your vehicle if it’s making any odd noises, since you could cause further harm to the engine or other components throughout your Porsche.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE

OIL CHANGES

As we mentioned, your engine relies on its oil, and Porsche vehicles may be prone to leak oil or have gunked up oil, especially if you drive aggressively. Over time, the oil throughout your engine will wear down, leak out, or become contaminated with particles. An oil change ensures that you have fresh, clean, working oil that is ideal for reducing friction in your engine and heat buildup for its components. We recommend that you follow the instructions on your owner’s manual to ensure that your oil continues to support the functionality and longevity of your engine and its individual components.

TIRE REPLACEMENTS

As you hug the turns in your Porshe, your tires are slowly losing their resilience — and over time, they can lose their grip altogether (or you could end up on the side of the road with a flat). We can replace your tires, rotate your tires (to improve tread wear and the balance of your vehicle), or upgrade your tires to all-season tires or performance tires. Make the most of your machine with tires that will keep up with the torque under the hood.

FLUID FLUSHES

Fluid flushes should be performed regularly to ensure that your vehicle’s systems are operating smoothly. Whether it’s your brake line, your transmission system, your power steering, or your cooling system, we can flush the lines, replacing old, grimey, broken-down fluid with fresh fluid that will improve the longevity and performance of your Porsche’s components. Consult your owner’s manual or your mechanic for recommended flush service intervals for the various systems in your Porsche.

TIMING BELT REPLACEMENTS

Your timing belt is a heavy-duty, toothed, rubber belt that is essential to operate your vehicle. This belt controls the timing of the crankshaft and camshaft, as well as the opening and closing cycle of the pistons of your engine. Now, that’s an important job, and that’s why your timing belt must be replaced before it wears down or breaks. If you have a timing belt that is missing teeth or a belt that is on the cusp of breaking, then you have a hazardous component in your engine. A slipping timing belt can wreak havoc on your engine, and a broken timing belt will likely destroy your engine altogether — and that means that you’ll have costly repairs on your hands. We recommend that you swap out your timing belt before it is ever in danger of creating damage.

Your owner’s manual will have the best information for recommended timing belt replacement intervals. Take note, while you may want to have us inspect your timing belt to assess its condition, it’s often worthwhile to simply replace it instead — since the timing belt is built into the engine, we’ll have to do some time-consuming disassembly just to reach the component, so it’s often best to replace the belt (for both timeliness and cost-effectiveness) while we’re already under the hood.

Porsche Upgrades

If you are a Porsche owner, chances are, you’d like your Porsche to give you the power you crave. If you want to increase the horsepower of your sports car, you’ve come to the right place. At Avalon Motorsports, here in the heart of Denver, you can schedule appointments for all kinds of performance upgrades, each designed to give your car the horsepower you want. We also offer body and aesthetic upgrades, so that the exterior look of your vehicle matches its interior power. To learn more about specific upgrades, feel free to contact us at 303-400-3001, or continue reading to learn more about some of our most common Porsche upgrades.

PERFORMANCE UPGRADES

Often, heightened performance starts with better airflow for your engine. With better airflow, you’ll enjoy enhanced engine combustion, which translates to more power. We can integrate new engine components, including superchargers, cold air intakes, and other modifications that are designed to boost the ease of combustion for your engine. We’ll ensure that your engine can “breathe” as it inhales cool fresh air while burning rubber.

NEW HEADLIGHTS

Porsches are certainly designed with aesthetic in mind. That said, you may not be satisfied with the stock lights on your Porsche. When that’s the case, we can swap out your headlights with brighter, flashier, more appealing headlights.

BRAKES & SUSPENSION

If you’re boosting the power of your engine, it’s a good idea to give the brakes and suspension an upgrade as well. Since you’ll be soaring over the road, you’ll get a better feel out of your vehicle with responsive suspension, and a braking system that matches the power under your hood.

EXHAUST UPGRADES

If you’re upping the air intake at the head of your engine, you should consider upgrading the exhaust of your Porsche to keep up with the improved airflow. The Porsche mechanics here at Avalon Motorsports would be happy to help you to upgrade your exhaust system, so that air flows through your engine without much effort.
