HERITAGE PARTS CENTRE TIPTRONIC OIL AND SERVICE KIT

If you own a 996 or 997-generation 911 equipped with Tiptronic semiautomatic transmission, there’s every chance the car’s mileage is fast approaching the scheduled gearbox fluid and filter change. The manufacturer service book states this work should be carried out around the 100k-mile mark, but there are plenty of enthusiasts (us included) who prefer for this job to be done ahead of time. In last month’s issue of 911 & Porsche World, we showed you how to service the Tiptronic unit, but whether you’re an experienced home mechanic or someone who likes to commission a specialist to do the work for you, this great oil and filter kit from Porsche and VW spares specialist, Heritage Parts Centre, is exactly what’s required to ensure smooth cog swapping long into the future. Manufactured by OEM supplier, Meyle, the kit comprises five litres of ATF-111H Plus transmission fluid, a replacement filter, a new sump gasket and all fixings to complete the task at hand. To place your order, hit the Heritage Parts Centre website or pick up the phone and speak to one of the team’s customer service advisors.
