The new Porsche Taycan totally-electric sedan cuts a dynamic figure as it operates in stealth mode on the streets of Philadelphia, PA. Because of its all-electric powertrain, the maintenance requirements and intervals for the new Taycan are simpler than Porsche's gas-powered internal combustion models. But this unique Porsche sports car still requires its own maintenance at Porsche of the Main Line in Newtown Square, PA.Â
It's recommended that you schedule routine service for your Porsche Taycan every two years or 20,000 miles. During the basic maintenance visit, we'll replace the cabin air filter to make sure you're getting the benefit of clean, fresh air. We'll also replace your pollen filter. At the same time, we can flush out the old brake fluid and replace it with clean, fresh fluid so you can stop safely around Philadelphia.
Maintaining proper tread depth is one important part of the safety and performance regimen for the tires on your Porsche Taycan. You can do your own simple check with the penny test. Simply insert a penny into the tread opening on each of your tires, putting Lincoln's head in the downward position. If you can still see the top of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is at about 2/32 of an inch. That's too low and means your tires should be replaced.
Tire rotation should happen every 5,000 miles. The primary benefit of rotating your ties is that the regular re-positioning of your Porsche Taycan tires helps them wear more evenly, and that causes them to last longer. It also helps them perform better when all four tires are continuously gripping the road in a uniform way. When tread wear is more even, that also helps maintain even tread depth, which supports your Taycan better when cornering.
We will, of course, balance your tires as part of new tire installation. By the way, the new tire brands we recommend for your Porsche Taycan are Michelin, Pirelli and Dunlop. In addition, your tires may need re-balancing when you feel a pull on your steering wheel as you tour the highways around Philly, or when you notice uneven wear. These two signs may also point to the need for a wheel alignment. Ask us for more details.
When you hear your Porsche Taycan's brakes squeaking as you step on the brake pedal, the brake pads are probably wearing down. If you hear the sound of grinding, it probably means the pads are gone and the rotors as well. If your Porsche Taycan vibrates when you brake, especially at higher speeds, you almost certainly need new pads and rotors - and that should be done soon.
The most obvious sign is simply that the AC isn't blowing cold air. If you see refrigerant leaks, like when grease covers your AC components or puddles of refrigerant pool under your car, have us check the air conditioning system. Hopefully your air conditioning will regain its cool with a simple recharge. The Porsche factory-trained specialists at our service center can diagnose the situation and advise you if your AC needs something more.
One of the experienced managers in our service center can tell you much more about what kinds of regular maintenance are needed for an all-electric Porsche Taycan. Schedule a service appointment soon at Porsche of the Main Line, just a half hour from Philadelphia in Newtown Square, PA.
