Common problems and easy repairs on a 2013 911

The 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S has many cramped and convoluted set-ups. The headlight and highbeam will require a special tool to disconnect their housing from the vehicle before the bulb can be changed. Replacing the engine air filter will be very problematic as the entire rear bumper will need to be removed first. You won’t be able to reliably change a flat tire as this vehicle only comes provided with a compressor kit and tow hook.

However, the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S has a few upsides. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth won’t be an issue thanks to the clear instructions on the touchscreen menu. Both of the interior fuses boxes can be accessed without a problem, and the one on the driver side also includes a fuse puller. The unobstructed access to the anchor points in the rear will allow you to reliably connect a child seat.
