What to look for
Intercooler water-spray system
The spray system cools the intercoolers under high load and high intake temperatures, and Porsche limits power when the tank runs empty. Specialists list declining spray effectiveness (power loss in sustained driving, higher intake temps, spray-system warnings) as a watch item.
What fixes it: Keep the tank filled with distilled water; inspect the spray system and log intake temperatures.
Wastegate / boost-control wear
Specialists cite wastegate wear causing inconsistent boost, boost spikes/drops and boost-related check-engine lights.
What fixes it: Diagnose and repair the wastegate actuation early.
PDK clutch wear (track use)
Hard launches and track use wear the PDK clutches; signs include slip under hard acceleration, delayed engagement and PIWIS clutch-wear warnings.
What fixes it: Check clutch wear values with PIWIS; service PDK fluid more often if tracked.
Carbon-ceramic (PCCB) rotor replacement cost
PCCB is standard; discs are replaced for chips/cracks or wear and are roughly 10x the cost of iron rotors. Mainly a concern on tracked cars.
What fixes it: Inspect discs and pads before purchase; replace or convert to iron rotors.
991.1 GT3 engines
Early cars were recalled and many had engines replaced by Porsche. Check what was done and that the paperwork is with the car.
Over-revs
Manual cars store over-rev history in the engine computer. Read it with a factory scan.
Front lift and PDCC
Check every hydraulic option works; they are costly to fix.

Intervals are whichever comes first, miles or years. "Porsche factory (converted from km)" means Porsche's own figure for another market, turned into miles with the same km-to-mile pairing Porsche uses in the US. Your car's own maintenance booklet is the final word. HBi Auto's recommendations for cars that are tracked, driven hard or stored are being added by our service team.
