Can Porsche drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Porsche drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Porsche 718 Boxster? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Porsche 718 Boxster differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 718 Boxster?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 718 Boxster can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your 718 Boxster’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 718 Boxster's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your 718 Boxster.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my 718 Boxster?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 718 Boxster. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your 718 Boxster.

Does my 718 Boxster drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your 718 Boxster includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your 718 Boxster forward.

2018 Porsche 718 Boxster Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 718 Boxster's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Porsche, from back to front. It’s one of your 718 Boxster’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Porsche's recommendations.

When to Get Porsche 718 Boxster Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Porsche 718 Boxster may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Porsche 718 Boxster.

How much does it cost to fix your 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster drivetrain? Again, it depends!
