One year inspection of Panamera

The Panamera came to our home inOctober 12, 2017The first time I saw it, it was a year ago. Two years have passed since then. And two years have passed, which means it's time for the one-year service, so the other day, I took my Panamera to Porsche Center for its one-year service.

Incidentally, we were lent a Cayenne as a loaner car during the inspection.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo (958 late model) test drive review

This time, I brought the Panamera to the Porsche Center on Friday morning, and my family of four was to pick it up on Saturday evening. When we arrived at the Porsche Center, we saw the "New 911" flag fluttering...Come to think of it, I still haven't had a chance to test drive the 992...The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

."I wonder if it's too late in the season to test drive and blog about it now...I am thinking, "I would like to go for a test drive when the weather cools down again. ...No, I could go for a test ride even if it is not cool, but with such a lingering summer heat, it is hard to get motivated to go out.(By the way, today's high temperature is 36 degrees Celsius.)

Now, back to the Panamera inspection. The contents and results of this inspection are

12-month statutory inspection
PCM map data update
Engine oil change
Oil filter change
Brake fluid change
Wiper blade replacement
Air conditioner filter replacement
Remaining brake pads F:7.0mm R:10.0mm
Remaining tire groove F:2.5mm R:3.9mm
Mileage: 24851 km
Car wash

It was. I looked at the statement and said, "What is brake fluid? (-_-)I asked my husband, "What, you don't know brake fluid?" So I looked it up on the Internet.

It is a liquid that fills the hydraulic system of hydraulic brakes in automobiles and other vehicles. Also called brake oil.
Source.Wikipedia, "Brake Fluid."

He said, "I am very happy to be here. ."Oh, you mean brake oil! Then it would have been easier to understand if you had written "brake oil"!I am an amateur and I am mumbling to myself...there are still many terms related to cars that I don't know.

In addition, the inspection was conducted to determine whether "theThe grooves on the front tires are pretty worn out, so it's a good idea to replace them as soon as possible.I was told that "the rear tire grooves on RWD Panameras are generally more prone to wear. "Our Panamera is not RWD, so does that mean the front tires are worn out?' I asked my husband.

Well, I guess so. Perhaps, since I mainly use it for city driving, I tend to make left and right turns at intersections and the front tire grooves tend to wear out, or as I said, the Panamera Turbo is a four-wheel drive vehicle, so I guess I'm not sure.There's a lot of torque on the front tires.I guess that's what this means.
Then there's the weight of the heavy V8 engine up front, so maybe it's the weight of that.

And. I see...

As for the theory that the rear tires wear more easily on RWD tires, I was not familiar with the structure of the car, so I was like, "I don't know, I don't know... (-_-)," so I went home and looked it up later.

Since FF is front-wheel drive, the front wheels are heavily loaded in all aspects of starting, accelerating, turning, decelerating, and stopping.will take. On the other handRear-wheel-drive RWD puts a heavy load on the rear tires during startup and acceleration.The front tires are subjected to a greater load when turning, decelerating, and stopping, just as in FF. Comparing FWD and RWD, the front tires are subjected to a greater load when turning, decelerating, and stopping, just as in FWD.The front tires wear off faster in FF because the weight balance of the car is slightly more toward the front.Tendency.

That was that. I see.

However, I feel it would be a shame to change tires at this time, so I said, "You know what?At what point do you change the tires, or do you just switch without changing them?The "Mere Old Man" is still under consideration.

Cost of one-year inspection

And as for the cost of the inspection... our home inspector, Mr. H.

This time, it's free, so it's okay.

And. ."Oh, it's free! Perhaps it is a service!I thought for a moment, "I'm sorry," but Mr. H. continued, "but I'm not sure.

It is not free, though, as we receive a fee in advance.

And then he grinned. (Laughs.) You know, last year, when I had my Panamera's one-year service.Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Plan (PSMP)I went into something called

What is the cost of the Porsche Panamera 1 Year Inspection - Inspection and Parts Replacement All-in-One Package?

The PSMP is a "system ofService that can be applied for within one year of purchase by owners who have purchased a new car from an authorized Porsche dealer.The "I" is the one that pays in advance for subsequent statutory inspections, manufacturer inspections, and a fixed fee for the replacement and replenishment of major parts.

For the Panamera Turbo, the cost is 319,680 yen for the 3-year plan, which also includes the cost of the first vehicle inspection.(Tax included, as of August 2018)I am very happy with the price. The cost of the one-year service for the 970 Panamera Edition that was previously in our home cost more than 100,000 yen, so it is a good deal.

However.For families that do not drive very many miles, it is cheaper to pay the inspection fee each time than to enter the PSMP.So, for families like ours who drive a certain number of miles per year and will always need parts and oil changes, it is a good value.

The Panamera is a sports car.

Riding the Panamera, "I still think the Panamera is a great car.We left the Porsche Center with a conversation that went something like this. Oh no.How many times do we have to have this conversation?Every time we drive a Panamera for the first time in a long time, my wife and I are as impressed as if we were driving a Panamera for the first time.

Of course the Cayenne was a good car, but the Panamera is still a sports car. The low line of sight, the ground feel, the engine sound, the strong acceleration... I arrived home in no time, thinking, "Panamera is really a great car.

Next year we will have to inspect the car, so my husband is going to think about what to do with this Panamera by then...but for now, I want to enjoy the Panamera to the fullest.
