Flat tire on Porsche Panamera - flat tire repair cost, plus oil refill, etc.

Porsche Maintenance Costs

Panamera, flat tire?

On the last day of GW, when I finished shopping and started the Panamera, I saw an error message on the meter. I looked at it and saw that it readFill with airIt says, "The

I wonder if the display will go away after running for a while. Or is it a flat tire?Luckily, I'm near the Porsche Center right now, so I'll have it looked at on my way home.I stopped by the restaurant, but it was closed for GW that day, so I decided to go back to my house. Just to be sure, I asked my husband, who was touring in Tohoku, if he would like to go to a restaurant calledI'm getting these indications, is it a flat tire?I emailed him and said.

Yeah, well, you might get a flat tire, so I wouldn't get on it."

The reply was. Indeed, it would be better not to ride. However, I didn't really feel a flat tire, so after I got off, I checked the tireThere is no particular nail stuck in the air, nor is there an atmosphere of significant air pressure loss.

But then I checked the air pressure deviation again...

Well...it seems that only the right front wheel has a flat tire. So, the next morning after the consecutive holidays, I immediately contacted Mr. H, the dealer's representative.

The first tire to lose minus 0.3 will get a warning.but if all the tires are marked minus, it is only because the air pressure is low, so it is okay to replenish. However, in this case, it might be a flat tire. The sooner the better. Shall I arrange for a tow?

I thought, "No, no, I'm sorry to have to go to all that trouble to have it towed. I felt bad that I had to go to the trouble of having my car towed (-_-), so I adjusted my schedule and decided to go to the shop that day to have the flat tire repaired. Since I was going to go through the trouble again, I decided to go back to theI decided to have the oil refilled as well.

Flat tire repair at Porsche Center

We arrived at the Porsche Center and the service person looked at the Panamera and said, "The work takes about an hour to complete.So, we decided to wait in the restaurant during that time.

Since it was a weekday morning, there were no other customers with children, so my second daughter had the kids' space all to herself and played quite freely.


(Kappamaki on top of the car...novel)

The work was completed on schedule and was explained to me.There was a screw lodged in the right front wheel about an inch long.I was told that it was a flat tire. I wonder where it got stuck...come to think of it, I had a flat tire on my right front wheel before. In the end, we fixed the puncture and topped up 1.5 liters of oil.The total cost was about 14,000 yen.It was. I'm glad I didn't have to replace the whole tire..............................

I told my husband when he got home.

I knew it was a flat tire - but how often do you get a flat tire on the right side? Maybe it's because I have bigger tires, or maybe it's because I often go through the zebra zone where there is a lot of dust and debris when I make right turns or merge.

He said. I don't drive on construction sites or gravel roads, and I don't drive right behind construction trucks with a vita attached (W), so I wonder if that's a possible cause.

Panamera oil refill

This time I had the Panamera oil topped off together, and since I felt that the Panamera was somehow often topped off with oil this time, I decided to do the calculations as a test.

The last time I changed the oil was at the end of September last year. The mileage at that time was 13,246km. And at the time of this oil change, the mileage was 21,037 km.

The car ran 7,791 km and was refilled with 1.5 liters.

So that's why.

That said, I'm not extremely low on oil.Simply running that much.I guess that's what it means. I can rest easy now for a moment, because next month I plan to take the Panamera to Fuji Speedway and participate in the Porsche Track Experience.

Still, I'm really looking forward to next month's Porsche event!

    Hello. I saw this article and thought that the air pressure was a little low on the front right (about 2psi)... I checked and found that my Panamera was also punctured by a nail. 0.3bar is 4.35psi, so I guess the warning light comes on when it gets to that level.
    The oil has run 8000 km and doesn't seem to be running low. Is it any different with a turbo? I don't care about eco or fuel economy" with a hybrid, but when I don't need much engine power, such as on busy roads or when going with the flow at high speeds, I tend to use hybrid or e-mode and drive mainly on the motor. And sometimes I play with the launch control and paddle shifters. It is a really nice car because it can go either way.

      Hello.
      >My Panamera also had a flat tire with a nail stuck in it.
      Ehh !!!! I see!!! I wonder, why is it right front again?
      But I'm glad I noticed it early.

      I still think that hybrids are environmentally friendly cars with good fuel efficiency.
      Although the turbo has good fuel economy for its size and power, it is still like a gasoline dribbler in some areas (laughs).
      Also, in our case, we do a lot of winding road driving, so I guess the oil runs low even more.

      Hybrids are amazing when you think about it.

      Also, because SN is driving a hybrid.
      When the Taikan goes on sale, we would love to have you test drive it and tell us more about the differences...!

      In my family, we are talking about how the Panamera Turbo has too much power and is a waste of treasure, so the next car we buy will be a plain Panamera..." (laughs).

    I think power is a good thing lol.
    Mina and your husband (if you haven't tried it yet) should test drive a Panamera or Cayenne hybrid.
    My next target is a 911 Hybrid! I'm not even certain when it will come out.
    Oh, the Subaru STI also runs very nice. I'd like to compare it with a Boxster or something someday.

      >I think power is a good thing lol.
      Certainly, a car with power is great, isn't it? However, in Japan, there are too few ways to use it, and recently I feel that it is a treasured commodity...
      I bet it would be so much better in the US or something!
      I'd love to test drive a hybrid model! I'd love to drive the next Cayenne when it comes out!

      > Oh, the Subaru STI also runs very nice. I'd like to compare it to a Boxster or something someday.
      Oh by all means! That review is quite the note w!
