Turbo Service costs

[ArBee]

I am tentatively looking to move from my C4 to a MY2003 TT so I thought I would ask those who have had a 996 and then moved on to the turbo, if there was a marked difference on the cost of servicing and the like.

If I do move, I think I'm right in saying I won't have the RMS to worry about but is there anything I should be checking for that (other than the obvious generic issues when buying a car) indicates that that moment is now to walk away?

It's done 29K full OPC UK car with really nice spec PSE, PCM, Bose etc. It has had 3 owners which seems a lot for a three year old car and something I can't recall seing before, Arctic silver over painted seal grey alloys???

TIA

Just did the 48k Service @ OPC Reading + MOT + Ext. Warranty = £2.3k []

What did that 2.3 K include...must have been some major work there?

hi guys! i want to try this garage http://www.shirleys-garage.co.uk/ instead of doing the service at opc, they are a lot cheaper plus i still buy an RAC warranty .

cause i am planning to do some trackday , so brake pad or disc want to do it by indepent specialist . that's cost a lot cheaper ,

 

[burrow01]

If you do a track day it invalidates the warranty for brakes etc anyway?

All 48k Service related checks & changes, the only extra was the additional RHS fog light to pass MOT at £148.50 + VAT

Did the £2.3K include the cost of the warranty?

Yes.
But I see it as a total expense for running a 911 Turbo...[8|]
