Hi All
I am currently travelling in Europe with my 911 Carrera 4S (991.1) and no sooner had I arrived in France and changed the speedometer settings to KM up came a message "Service required”, even though the car is not due a service until November this year.
next day I emailed my local Porsche centre in Guildford, where the car is serviced, who suggested I visit my nearest Porsche service centre.
By the time they replied I was already in Switzerland, so I called into the Lausanne Porsche centre where a very helpful man took the car to the service area and brought it back "all cured” suggesting that Guildford had not reset the computer correctly. I thanked them for their help and proceeded to input my next sat nav destination, then went for a loo break, but on starting the car up, you guessed it, the same error message "Service required”
So back inside to request the very nice man to have another look at the problem.
Off again to the service area for another 15 minutes and the car returned "all cured”
So I headed off to meet up with my family in the south of France for a weeks holiday, only for the same error message to reappear two days later.
Car now booked into Porsche Guildford when I get back to the U.K. on 21 June - to be finally cured?
Has any fellow 991 owners had the same problem, and if so how was it cured?
regards
paul
