Porsche Transaxle Servicing Worcestershire


Expert Maintenance for Porsche 924, 928, 944 & 968

Owning a Porsche 924, 928, 944 or 968 offers a unique blend of balance, usability and classic Porsche engineering. As specialist Porsche technicians, Sports Vehicle Performance provides expert servicing and maintenance for all front-engine, transaxle Porsche models. Whether your car is a weekend classic, track toy or regular driver, we offer tailored care to keep it performing as intended.

Why Regular Porsche Transaxle Servicing Is Essential

Porsche transaxle models are now classic cars, with many exceeding 100,000 miles. While fundamentally robust, age-related wear, deferred maintenance and incorrect servicing can quickly lead to costly repairs. Regular specialist servicing ensures reliability, protects value and preserves the unique driving characteristics these cars are known for.

Unlike rear-engined 911s, transaxle Porsches feature a front-mounted engine with rear gearbox, making correct drivetrain, suspension and belt maintenance critical.

Our Porsche Transaxle Servicing Programme

We offer comprehensive servicing for all Porsche transaxle models, with work tailored to the specific engine and drivetrain configuration of each car.

Engine & Belt Servicing

  • Timing belt & balance shaft belt replacement (924S / 944 / 968)

  • Water pump replacement and inspection

  • Camshaft housing & crank seal oil leak repairs

  • Valve train inspection (including known valve spring issues)

  • Full engine servicing with correct Porsche-approved oils

(928 V8 models receive chain, tensioner and valve train inspection instead of belt servicing.)

Cooling System & Fuel System

  • Radiator inspection and replacement (common failure point)

  • Coolant hose replacement & thermostat testing

  • Cooling fan operation checks

  • Fuel tank inspection (metal tank corrosion on early cars)

  • Fuel pump, injector & fuel line checks

Gearbox, Clutch & Driveline

  • Clutch inspection and replacement (transaxle layout)

  • Torque tube bearing assessment

  • Gearbox oil servicing

  • Synchromesh wear checks (2nd & reverse common)

  • CV joint, driveshaft and linkage inspection

Suspension, Steering & Brakes

  • Suspension bush inspection (rubber degradation common)

  • Shock absorber and torsion bar checks

  • Wheel bearing setup and adjustment

  • Steering rack & joint inspection

  • Brake disc, pad & hydraulic system servicing

Correct suspension geometry is critical to how these cars drive — worn components quickly rob them of their renowned balance.

Bodywork & Corrosion Inspection

  • Battery tray corrosion checks

  • Rear hatch & spare wheel well inspection

  • Windscreen and hatch seal corrosion

  • Sill and jacking point assessment

  • Underbody inspection for age-related corrosion

While well protected for their era, corrosion can still be present if trapped moisture has gone unnoticed.

Electrical & Interior Systems

  • Dashboard and gauge function checks

  • Alternator & charging system testing

  • Pop-up headlight operation (where applicable)

  • Window regulators & central locking

  • Sunroof & hatch seal inspection

Electrical issues are common on cars that have spent long periods unused, especially where aftermarket wiring has been fitted.
