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 the symptoms of a damaged Porsche drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Porsche 718 Spyder? 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.

When should I come in for Porsche 718 Spyder differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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.

Why is my 718 Spyder malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your 718 Spyder has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your 718 Spyder’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 Spyder'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 Spyder.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 718 Spyder?

A drivetrain malfunction in your 718 Spyder should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my 718 Spyder drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 718 Spyder’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 718 Spyder forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
