Since when did Porsche set a 20k mile service? I thought they were all in 15k intervals & 1 year intervals?

Your rotors shouldn't need to be replaced at 20k,get a second opinion.

hey guys -

thanks for the info...I'll see if I can find someone on the side to check it out....I am running oem pads and no sensor has gone off as of yet....

SD, I drive like crap I'm sure which is why I got to get in a car with Sammy, I hear he's good....but I usually down shift a bunch before hitting the brakes...which freaked me out when I read dj's advice of brakes are cheaper than a tranny so use the brakes...can't win on this one I guess

I do know I'm super psyched for them Cowboys too!!!! I keep hearing Cowboys Pats super bowl...

hey blink, 987 is a 20K service interval, it changed from the 986....you shouldn't know, but the service guy should.....

hey you need the 15K on this thing still...
yeah, that's why I'm here dude, and its 20K....
no, its actually15K.
Really cause the manual says the 987 is at 20K.....
Oh yeah well it just says that......

ahhhhh service....and man I really don't have that high of expectations......

I also got the dreaded reasoning to not look into a problem....

also, the passenger window sticks.......

that's because you have to pull the handle give it a second and then open the door

yes but I shouldn't have to educate a passenger on how to open a door, driver window doesn't stick, passenger should be the same....get up and look

alight alright, I'm done complaining

The "Porsche" service guy didn't know what the proper service intervals were for your car? You should have saved yourself some money and done the 20k service yourself.....you probably would have done a better job than that bozo. I think you need a second opinion on those brakes unless you spent half of those 20k miles out on the track.

Supe, My passenger window does the same thing sometimes. It must have something to do with our paint color...r9i8c7k, I'm not a SD native and am pretty ambivalent about the Chargers but intensely dislike the Patriots (but appreciate them as a fine organization).

Not sure that Michael Irvin belongs in the hall of fame though.

man SD....not only is Irvin a hall of Famer but he's a first ballot, and its a shame a Steve Yong went in before him. Those Cowboy teams don't win Superbowls without Michael the same they don't win with any of the triplets missing.

The only reason the niners won with A superbowl with Young was because Dalls spotted them 21, and not to mention the niners sold their souls that season in free agency and still haven't recovered...

don't know if you caught the Jones speeh but he said it best, everyone new Aikman was going to Irvin, and it didn't matter, you couldn't stop it....oh man, sorry, this is going to turn in to the ESPN blog

"but intensely dislike the Patriots (but appreciate them as a fine organization). " I get that allot now. At work, I have a Chargers fan on one side and a Steelers fan on the other. Our lunch truck driver is a Raiders. So you can just guess some of their feelings about my team.

I am actually amazed at times the feelings towards the Pats considering we were the biggest losers for decades. How times change.
