Gt imports were extremely professional and got my car done even though I was on a time crunch. I was a little skeptical of taking it anywhere but Audi now I don’t think I’ll be going back to the Audi dealership

I have been going to the owner of GT imports since 1992 for all my car repairs, before they were GT imports. They do what they say their going to do and are completely trustworthy.

I wish I had found them years ago. I have a BMW 535i that seemed to get spontaneous new issues after routine service visits at Riverside BMW. This is why I started looking for a non- dealership mechanic and found GT Imports. I had my first oil service appt with them a few days ago, and waited in the lobby. Each customer that walked in was treated as if they were members of their family. Everyone was extremely polite... and they care about cars. It's like taking your dog to a really good vet, and you know you can 100% trust their opinion.

Common Problems with Porsche Engines

The most common problem encountered with Porsche engines is that they run too hot or overheat. 

This problem can be caused by the coolant system not working properly or by leaks in the radiator hose. 

Another common problem is that the engine runs too rich, meaning it produces more fuel than necessary which causes a decrease in performance, increased emissions, and poor fuel economy. 

Finally, another common issue seen in Porsche engines is oil consumption which can lead to accelerated wear on components such as valves or pistons due to lack of lubrication.

Process for Performing Engine Diagnostics Service

If you are experiencing any of these issues with your Porsche engine, it is important to get it checked out right away so that you can avoid causing further damage to your vehicle.

The first step in getting your engine diagnosed is to take it to a certified Porsche repair shop where a technician will perform an inspection of your vehicle’s systems and computerized diagnostic tests. 

These tests will help determine if there are any underlying issues that need attention such as problems with spark plugs or fuel injectors. Once these issues have been identified, they can then be addressed through appropriate repairs or replacements.

Common Solutions

Once any underlying issues have been identified through the diagnostic tests, there are several solutions available for resolving them depending on the specific issue at hand. 

For example, if your car’s cooling system is not working properly then replacing hoses or flushing out the radiator may be recommended by technicians to fix this issue quickly and cost-effectively. 

If you’re experiencing oil consumption or excessive fuel usage then switching over to synthetic oil may help reduce friction on parts resulting in improved fuel efficiency and better overall performance of your engine.
