What each repair involves on the Panamera, and what our invoices say it costs
Cooling-system leaks and water pumps on the Panamera
30% of the Panamera registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (16 of 54, 28 invoices in all). Those visits typically cost about $2,550 (middle half $1,350 to $3,950, 28 priced visits since 2023, whole invoice including GST).
The cooling system carries heat away from the engine and keeps its temperature stable. A fault may cause a coolant warning, a sweet smell, a wet patch or a rising temperature gauge. Driving with poor cooling can lead to overheating and much broader engine damage.
We scan the Panamera with PIWIS, pressure-test the cooling system and use dye where needed to trace the leak. We document the finding, give you an honest quote before work starts and replace the failed pump, thermostat, radiator or sealing part rather than the whole system.

Brake pads, discs and wear sensors on the Panamera
28% of the Panamera registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (15 of 54, 16 invoices in all). Those visits typically cost about $3,150 (middle half $1,800 to $6,600, 15 priced visits since 2023, whole invoice including GST).
Brake pads grip the discs to slow the car, while wear sensors alert you when the friction material is running low. Squealing, vibration, longer stopping effort or a dashboard warning can signal trouble. Waiting may damage the discs and reduce braking confidence when traffic stops suddenly.
We check relevant PIWIS faults, inspect the braking system and measure the pads and discs before recommending any parts. The measurements are recorded, and we provide an honest quote before work starts for only the worn pads, discs or sensor.

Electrical sensors, switches and control modules on the Panamera
17% of the Panamera registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (9 of 54, 11 invoices in all). Those visits typically cost about $1,450 (middle half $700 to $2,450, 11 priced visits since 2023, whole invoice including GST).
Sensors report operating conditions, switches send commands and control modules coordinate electrical functions. A fault may appear as a warning message, an intermittent feature or unexplained battery drain. Leaving it unresolved can disable related functions or place further strain on the electrical system.
We begin with a PIWIS scan, live-data checks and circuit testing to separate a sensor, switch, wiring or module fault. We document the evidence and agree an honest quote before work starts, then repair or replace only the failed part.
Gasket, seal, cover and housing oil leaks on the Panamera
17% of the Panamera registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (9 of 54, 11 invoices in all). Those visits typically cost about $4,750 (middle half $2,550 to $8,800, 11 priced visits since 2023, whole invoice including GST).
Engine oil protects moving parts and carries heat away from them. A failed gasket, seal, cover or housing may leave spots below the car, a burning smell or fresh oil around the engine. Delaying the repair can lower the oil level and spread oil onto belts or hot components.
We use PIWIS where fault data helps, clean the affected area and trace fresh oil from the highest wet point. We share documented findings and an honest quote before work starts, then renew only the leaking gasket, seal, cover or housing.

Gearbox oil changes on the Panamera
17% of the Panamera registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (9 of 54, 9 invoices in all). Those visits typically cost about $2,300 (middle half $800 to $8,800, 9 priced visits since 2023, whole invoice including GST).
Gearbox oil lubricates moving parts, carries heat away and supports smooth hydraulic operation. Degraded or low fluid may show up as hesitant engagement, rough shifting or unusual gearbox noise. Leaving unsuitable fluid in service can increase internal wear and turn maintenance into a larger repair.
We scan with PIWIS, road-test the shift behaviour and inspect the fluid condition and signs of leakage. We record what we find and set out an honest quote before work starts, whether the right work is a fluid and filter service or attention to a leaking seal.

Battery replacement and charging checks on the Panamera
15% of the Panamera registrations in our records had at least one invoice involving this work (8 of 54, 8 invoices in all). Those visits typically cost about $3,550 (middle half $1,000 to $7,700, 8 priced visits since 2023, whole invoice including GST).
The battery starts the engine and keeps the car's electrical systems supplied with stable voltage. Slow cranking, flickering electronics or unrelated warning messages can appear when voltage drops. Waiting may strain the charging system or leave the car unable to start.
We test battery health and the charging system, then use PIWIS to review voltage-related faults and battery data. You receive the documented result and an honest quote before work starts, so a battery is fitted only when it has failed rather than when the cause lies elsewhere.
