🔧Workshop Wednesday! 🚗

A little behind-the-scenes look at our technician Gary replacing the air filter on this Porsche Panamera S! 👀

On many Porsche models, the engine air filter is relatively easy to access. However, on this Panamera it’s tucked away behind the front bumper, making replacement a little more involved!

Over time, dirt and debris build up within the filter, restricting airflow to the engine. This can affect performance, cause hesitation and increase fuel consumption.

To keep everything running as it should, Porsche recommends it's replaced every 6 years- helping maintain performance, efficiency and reliability. 💪🔧

✨Before and after✨

Take a look at these exhaust fl**ge fixings we replaced recently on a 987 Cayman 👀

As you can see, the bolts in each corner of the exhaust fl**ge were heavily corroded, while the old gasket had deteriorated so badly that it had practically fallen out!

When these fixings or gaskets deteriorate, exhaust gases can escape, potentially causing issues during an MOT emissions test and creating a noticeable exhaust blow. 💨

With new gaskets and fixings in place, this Cayman is back to sounding like a premium sports car should! 🏎️

🎃☠️ THE CURSED PORSCHE👻🏎️

James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder became one of automotive history’s most chilling legends.

💀 The Premonition: Just seven days before Dean’s fatal crash in 1955, actor Alec Guinness reportedly warned him that the car would be his undoing.

💀 The Curse: After Dean’s death, the wreckage was bought by a custom car specialist. When it arrived at his shop, it reportedly slipped off the truck, crushing a mechanic’s legs.

The tragedies allegedly continued. Two doctors acquired salvaged parts for their racing cars. During the same 1956 race, one suffered a serious crash, while the other struck a tree and was killed.

Later, another driver reportedly crashed when both tyres salvaged from the Spyder blew out simultaneously.

💀 The Final Mystery: In 1960, while being transported in a sealed rail car, the mangled shell completely vanished. A $1 million reward was offered for its return, but the cursed chassis has never been seen since.

🎃 Somewhere, the missing Porsche may still be waiting to be found… 👀

997 Carrera S | Suspension arms 🔧

In the workshop this week, we had this 997.2 for replacement rear lower control arms and a four-wheel alignment.

The lower control arms are commonly referred to as coffin arms due to their coffin-like shape. They connect the subframe to the wheel carrier and, at the rear, are fitted with a set of eccentric nuts, bolts and washers which are used to adjust the camber angle.

As a result, replacing the arms affects the suspension geometry, a four-wheel alignment is essential to ensure everything is set up correctly.

Another 997 back on the road and ready to go! 🏁

⏳Throwback Thursday 🌀

Take a look at this lovely 993 Coupe in deep black that we had on site recently.

The Porsche 993 was offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. This particular example is a Carrera 4 (C4)- but how can you tell?

🔍 Look closely and you’ll spot the silver brake calipers, along with the clear front and side indicators: factory features that help distinguish the C4.

And if you were to take a peek inside, you’d find a manual gearstick. Unlike the rear-wheel-drive Carrera, the 993 Carrera 4 was never offered with Tiptronic, so if you spot a Tiptronic selector, you're not looking at a C4!

A few subtle details that make all the difference 🖤

🔧Workshop Wednesday! 🚗

Our technician, Gary, carrying out a borescope inspection on a 996 for a potential buyer.

A borescope inspection allows us to look inside each cylinder of the engine and check for any signs of damage, such as scoring on the cylinder walls: the dreaded "borescore" that these engines can suffer from.

Thankfully, this 996 passed the borescope check with flying colours and will soon be on its way to its new owner ✅

✨Before and after✨

Check out these lovely shiny new turbos we fitted to our customer's 991 Carrera S!

The old turbos were leaking badly, causing oil to build up in the exhaust and resulting in smoke billowing out with the engine running.

The new turbos are fitted, the smoke has cleared, and this 911 is now ready to get back on the road! 🚗

987 Cayman S | Cruise Control Retrofit 🔧

In the workshop this week, we had the pleasure of working on this fantastic 987 Porsche Cayman S, with the customer requesting a cruise control retrofit.

This is a common request and a very achievable upgrade. The retrofit involves replacing the steering column switch pack with a version featuring the additional cruise control stalk, followed by specialist coding to enable the system.

Another great example of how the right modifications can enhance the driving experience. Give us a call to book your Porsche in now!

⏳Throwback Thursday 🌀

This lovely 944 S is rapidly approaching its 40th birthday, yet still looks great under the workshop lights here at Kent Porsche Specialist.

Finished in Nautic Blue Metallic, a colour only available as a limited run on model years 1987 and 1988, it's rare to have one on site to admire up close.

An unusual colour combined with nearly four decades of Porsche heritage makes a timeless classic that still turns heads 💙

🔧Workshop Wednesday! 🚗

A bird’s-eye view from our mezzanine customer waiting area, where our technician Gary is busy in the workshop fitting new rear lid struts to this 991 Carrera S.

Over time, the struts can weaken and lose their ability to support the lid properly. That might only seem like a minor inconvenience, but replacing them is an easy fix that makes all the difference!
