Buying a Used Porsche 718 Malaysia — Checklist
Used 718 checklist: PIWIS scan for PDK fault codes and adaptation count. Cold start idle — carbon buildup test (rough idle = walnut blast needed). Oil level + condition. Turbo intercooler: check for oil contamination (sign of turbo seal failure). Boxster soft-top: operate full cycle, check for water stains on carpet. Service history with A40 oil records.
Porsche 718 Used Car Checklist
- PIWIS scan: check PDK codes, PASM faults, carbon cleaning history, oil service records
- 2.0/2.5T: ask when last walnut blast was done — if never at 70,000+ km, factor in RM 1,500 cost
- Mid-engine: check trunk (front frunk) and engine bay (rear) for water ingress or accident repair signs
- Test drive: PDK smooth at 20–80 km/h? No shudder = fluid and mechatronic OK
- Check for oil drips under rear engine area — valve cover gasket and turbo line leaks
