Unfortunately, with every car, problems occur — and a Porsche is no exception. The check engine light is the first sign and an excellent early warning system notification that allows you to better understand the condition of your German engineered vehicle. If the OBD system has detected an issue with your Porsche, the check engine light will turn on. No need to fret, though, our expert Porsche technicians can assess the source of the problem at hand and repair it without hesitation. We’ll let you know what’s wrong, how we’ll fix it, and the cost to expect for a repair.
Because of internal combustion within the strong engine of a Porsche, your vehicle’s engine oil levels are not always as high as they should be. To keep your Porsche in its best condition, we suggest you keep a keen eye on the level of your car’s oil — or, better yet, schedule regular oil changes with our Porsche master technicians. We recommend that Porsche owners consult their owner’s manuals to find the best information regarding oil change intervals for their specific model.
No squeaking or squealing should be coming from your Porsche’s brake pads. So, if you hear some sounds that you’re not too happy about, it probably means your brakes are ready to be checked, if not replaced. Although this is not the biggest problem you could run into, it’s one that could affect your safety. If you have worn-out pads or a worn-down drum, then you’ll lose braking power. It’s best to replace pads when they’re worn, so that you don’t damage the brake components themselves, which will be a far more costly repair.
Fairly common in Volkswagens, if your VW’s airbag malfunction light randomly flashes on and off, there could be an issue within the sensor of the airbag. An experienced Volkswagen repair specialist can take care of this problem for you when you notice it becomes an issue (usually around the 100,000-mile mark). The fix is usually only a few dollars, yet it’ll give you the peace of mind you need to know your airbag will work correctly in case of an accident.
No Porsche should sound like a 30-year-old lemon. If you start to hear clunks coming from under the hood, it could be due to shocks, ball joints, or even the exhaust system. Constant wear and tear can make this unfortunate problem become a reality. The only solution is to call a German automotive specialist for assistance. When you call on Avalon Motorsports, we’ll take a look under the hood and locate the source of that off-putting clunking sound, and then we’ll get to work fixing the problem. Again, we don’t recommend that you drive your vehicle if it’s making any odd noises, since you could cause further harm to the engine or other components throughout your Porsche.
Often, heightened performance starts with better airflow for your engine. With better airflow, you’ll enjoy enhanced engine combustion, which translates to more power. We can integrate new engine components, including superchargers, cold air intakes, and other modifications that are designed to boost the ease of combustion for your engine. We’ll ensure that your engine can “breathe” as it inhales cool fresh air while burning rubber.
Porsches are certainly designed with aesthetic in mind. That said, you may not be satisfied with the stock lights on your Porsche. When that’s the case, we can swap out your headlights with brighter, flashier, more appealing headlights.
If you’re boosting the power of your engine, it’s a good idea to give the brakes and suspension an upgrade as well. Since you’ll be soaring over the road, you’ll get a better feel out of your vehicle with responsive suspension, and a braking system that matches the power under your hood.
If you’re upping the air intake at the head of your engine, you should consider upgrading the exhaust of your Porsche to keep up with the improved airflow. The Porsche mechanics here at Avalon Motorsports would be happy to help you to upgrade your exhaust system, so that air flows through your engine without much effort.
