  1. Thanks so much for the tip! Where can I get a code reader and what are they called?

    I'll have to call them and tell them I want to try a new fuel cap and see what they say. I'll probably just order one, but it won't arrive here before I get the car in the shop. He said that I could drive with the light on because it's not hurting anything, so maybe it can wait until I try the fuel cap.

    Thanks again!

  2. I'm new to RennTech and this site is great! Thanks for this community.

    So, I have a 2005 Cayenne S that I bought from the US (I'm an American living in Germany - Stuttgart, actually - go figure!) and picked it up last week. On Thursday after I filled the tank, the Check Engine light came on. I took it by the Porsche Center here in Stuttgart and they found out that my gas cap wasn't fastened tightly. It was the 2nd time I got gas, and I've used a car before....so I'm wondering how that happened.

    Anyway, since they cleared the fault on Thursday, I was driving around on Saturday and the light came on again. I hadn't filled the tank since then, but I checked the gas cap anyway with no issues. So I didn't drive it until today when I went back to the shop and they said there is a defective fuel or vapor sensor (my German is very good, but there are still some words that fail me, so I'm not 100% sure of what exactly it is, but I'm 95% sure) and that it would need to be replaced. He couldn't tell me off the top of his head what it would cost and he didn't really have time for me because I didn't have an appointment, but does anyone have an idea of what this should cost?

    I'm in Germany at the Porsche Centrum where they build other models (albeit not the Cayenne) so the parts will be there, I'm just curious what exactly could be broke and a general idea of what to expect on Thursday when I get it fixed. Thanks for any help!!

    Again, I really appreciate this community (since I'm a brand-new Porsche owner!) and plan on being a productive contributing member here. Thanks again!
