Ugh....I paid $300 for a PPI from my local Porsche dealership. Pretty much everything they told me was crap. As a whole...the car got a clean bill of health minus leaking valve cover gaskets and the need for a 60K service. In total....close to $6K of work from the dealer. The dealership (none Porsche) selling me the car agreed to pay for half of the valve cover gasket replacement.
*But*
In the end...I tracked down the Independent that had been servicing the car for 3+ years. The 60K had already been done a month before. The Independent was FLOORED about the gasket issue...having never seen a drop of oil leaking out of the motor in the years they serviced it. I took the car to a local Indy who gave me a *FREE* PPI and immediately told me the leaks were spark plug tubes, not gaskets. So....I ended up installing new spark plug tubes and that fixed the leaks. Plus no extra $$$ for the '60K' the Porsche dealer wanted to charge.
I love Indy's.
