Unfortunately, even a Porsche may have engine problems, in which case, a certified technician is the best choice to protect your investment. Porsche-trained technicians are the right choice to care for your vehicle. These technicians can help you with any need you may have, but there are some issues that should only be entrusted to the mechanics working at a Porsche dealer.

Engine Problems You Should Only Fix at Your Porsche Dealer

Oil Changes

Oil Changes are a key component of keeping your Porsche in tip-top performance condition. Though it seems a simple repair, dirty oil can clog an engine tuned to such specific standards. This leads to costly repairs that could be easily avoided when trusting the service department at a dealer who knows everything about a Porsche.

Dealer mechanics know the timeframe for scheduled maintenance on all Porsche vehicles and can make sure better than anyone else that the standards of maintenance are properly met. They can change your oil with speed and efficiency in order to protect your car’s engine.

Engine Overheating

Sometimes a coolant leak in a Porsche can go undetected, due to the car’s design and can lead to overheating, as the pressure and heat of engine operation can cause significant damage if left unchecked. If you notice the engine running a bit on the hot side, schedule an appointment.

Porsche technicians will have the correct tools to diagnose and fix this problem. Backed by over 70 years of expertise, certified technicians know where to look for the fix to this engine problem. They also know how to prevent coolant leakage from starting, so a certified technician at a dealership is always the best place to find the answers when you really need them.

Timing Chain Issues

The timing chain is essential to the proper function of the engine, and performance and drivability can be hindered if it is not functioning properly. The reality is that timing chains can stretch over time and their guides can also become worn. This leads to internal interference in the engine and can end up causing a catastrophic engine failure that can not be recovered from.


The certified mechanics at your dealership are ready to handle this problem quickly and efficiently, with the backing of Porsche USA should they find they need a specialty part fast. They can also tap their expertise to help with tough problems like this. The technicians at a dealership always know what to look for when it comes to timing chains and can get issues fixed quickly. 


Getting your engine diagnosed and  looked at by a certified Porsche technician is always a good idea when it comes to the care and keeping of a precision driving machine like a Porsche. Follow your warranty and ownership manuals to ensure that a Porshe is well taken care of and, to ensure the longevity of your vehicle.  Schedule a service appointment at Stevens Creek Porsche for quality service from certified dealer mechanics.
