Hi,
In order to track my own maintenance and to establish when work was done prior to my ownership and to track it going forward , I took the maintenance schedule out of the Owner's manual and service manual and put it into excel. I then re arranged some of the tasks and intervals to reflect the age, yearly mileage/KM and driving that I do. If I ever come to sell the car, I will have a very quick reference for any buyer. I have attached it for general use. Maybe when I buy my next one - one of you will hand me one to demonstrate the maintenance history!
Instructions –
Enter the current mileage of the car and the date. Only the green cells need an input. all others are automatic.
Enter the most recent date and mileage that a task was performed into the green cells of each row.
If the task is over due, the mileage or date in the Next Due column will turn red.
I have hidden some tasks which were duplicated or that don't apply to my car (e.g. cabriolet tasks don't apply to me) such as row 8, row 27 etc. feel free to amend the sheet to suit your car and driving.
I have similar for the 987/997 but it isn't fully checked. But happy to provide it too if anyone wants it.
I'm sure either can be tweaked to suit any model Porsche or car. I also add the major items I perform on the car - e.g. new dampers etc.
Some of you might find it helpful. Just add a thumbs up if you download and find it useful.
Note - I had to convert from xlsx to xls for it to upload to this thread. If there is any loss in functionality, let me know.
Regards
Padraig
