Can Porsche service save me money?

What are signs my Porsche drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Porsche Panamera, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Porsche Panamera 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.

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

A multitude of problems can activate your Panamera’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the Panamera malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Panamera serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Panamera. 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 Panamera.

Does my Panamera transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

All About 2017 Porsche Panamera Drivetrain Service

Your Panamera’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Porsche, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Panamera’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2017 Porsche Panamera, 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 Panamera Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2017 Porsche Panamera drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Porsche could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice 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 parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Porsche Panamera drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2017 Porsche Panamera drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
