It's honestly very low maitenence, the only thing that's slightly more costly than "normal" is your oil change due to the larger volume needed for these engines. Brakes are cheap of you do them yourself, not really different than other cars though. As far as reliability is concerned, it's top-notch.
In sum, I can fully recommend the Deka ETX30L battery for long-term and continuous use in our cars.
I ended up swapping coils/ICM and put new correct plugs in, and now it runs waaaay better.
Ran the V12's on my 951 for over a season of auto-X and track days - they were pretty monstrous, especially for the price. Wet grip was amazing too. Like many here, I'd stand behind the Hankooks!
Another vote for the Hankook's have them on my 911 and love them.
I have some extended experience with a lightweight battery in my daily driven 2006 Boxster S, which is well known for the demands it places on the battery. In spite of that, I successfully used the Deka ETX30L (21 lbs.) for almost 3.5 years.
Like the 944, the S2, more specifically, they're finicky on timing belts and tensioners...I know guys that change them every 10-12K miles, or every 18-24 months, and they haven't had problems.
I have one of these on each of my cars. CTEK 7002
not sure if it helps....but my cayenne turbo has bag over strut design....obviously i run it 365 a year. Never a problem... i think a big failure is water in the system....make sure you have a drier on the compressor
With the old starter I got a couple slow cranks. with the new starter I get nothing. I think it has something to do with this relay. Oh, and P.S. after pulling out the old starter I tested it on the bench and it won't spin, so it's definitely bad.
