Brake fluid changed or not

[O2TheL]

As a motorcycle owner, it's just something we do - change the brake fluid every couple of years.
I've never once thought to myself - oh, I wish I hadn't done that.

To the OP question - impossible to tell visually. I wouldn't expect color change in two years on a car.

I admire your level of skepticism though. 10/10

If these inspections are necessary every few years all well and good. But they should be made part of the standard maintenance schedule and include any extra costs. Or at very least when booking the service they should tell you their 'recommendations' at the time. What i object to is only being told there are other things that the car 'needs' as a matter of course once the dealer has it up on the ramp. Makes it rather hard to shop around then. I think its sharp practice.

That is what I already mentioned. Make it a part of the service or at lease mention it at the time of the booking of the service made.
They agreed and made their excuus that they had not mention the extra costs. As compensation they gave me a discount of 50% on all extra costs.

Mine made a goodwill gesture. But they didn’t agree they should have said in first place. ‘It’s standard practice on all Porsches we service. It’s normal”.

Reminded me why I went to a Porsche specialist rather than main dealer once my Panamera got a bit old.
Dunno if they’ll do electric though!

you can't check the fluid at the reservoir, you need to grab it from the rear right caliper. moisture settles in the calipers
