Came back from my trip to france. Dont want to experience this again. The car was running quiet bad and i was really worried it could become even worse. Running like crap. No power. Rough running. Idle floating from time to time. Checked the coils - found one cracked. replaced one. now at home i changed all. same engine behaviour. MAF are new. Engine running i disconnected the MAF and to my surprise the same. What the hell is this. Dont have a piwis or durametric Check with my OBD scanning device. Please find the readings. Maybe the pros here have a idea whats going on. I am very worried its a timing issue. what i need to say, the car is showing this behaviour since my indy changed the valve cover gasket and later on the small round seal at the top which is the cam actuator solenoid i believe. What could went wrong during such a job which is causing this problems. thanks a million for your input sorry but i dont know why some pics are upside down
-
Just can tell you what my mechanic told me when he changed mine: hope you dont come again with such a job. need hands like a child because its tight. Some recommand to take away all front to get access. He just take away the right wheel and the whell well liner. Took him about 5 hours the job.

Oil in coil duct
ekstroemtj replied to ekstroemtj's topic in 9PA, 9PA1 (Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Turbo S)
Actually i have codes which point to camshaft sensors. The shop changed thm already but the codes stay. Not a good sign. Maybe a timing problem or this solenoid we talked above. That is what i mean "everybody can be glad to have a shop which is looking little bit ahead of things" mine doesnt. The had the valve cover i off. Not enough they didnt fix it proper. They know about the camshaft codes but they didnt have the wish to check the solenoid while working there. -

Can you test this camshaft adjuster which you see now in front of you? How find out if this is working proper? -
But we dont have a choice Mark or i missed something?
-
Yes in some way. In the same time i can say they last minimum 4 years in the car, which is not bad. Plus i had / have this problem with the overheating. Everything from plastik, all this lines and tubes etc. having a hard life. Imagine this temperature floatings in this engine compartment.

everybody loves his porsche. Dosnt matter how old and how much trouble. But there is always a border where the fun to drive this cars is changing to frustration. I guy which i know from the porsche service where i go usual has the 3. engine in this 997. talk with him and you know what i mean
-
I reset already. Will see if it comes back. lesson for me:. Never drive far away without with big box of tools, code reader, coils etc. Oh what a car. The french man was right today
-
Dont even know how old the coils are. I have the car now 4 years. I didnt change them. I just check them from time to time.
-
I carry 2 coils with me. Thanks god. I changed them and the car is running fine. Just drove to the beach and back. But now which surprise. Check engine light is on. Grrrrrrrrr. Code 2187 and 2189 which means to lean at idle. Get crazy. I hope you have found the source of your problem. Part 13 i just changed last week because the membrane inside was not ok
-
Could not stop thinking about if i did something wrong during my weekend repair. i thought ok lets check the coils again. Car in front of our holiday destination in Cannes. Open hood. French people which passed the way: "porsche which has problems" somebody asked . For shure they are thinking what is this german doing here with his car. First coil bank one, voila

So the update on this story was: they fixed the valve cover gasket in the right way, but they didnt fix the small gasket on this small valve which is sitting in front on top od the valve cover. Now its done. Maybe i am wrong but the loss of power situation i have came almost at the same time. Would somebody tell me what this part is. # 21 on the picture i guess. Is it the camshaft actuator? What is this part doing? Could the do something wrong there? Thank you

On the highway to france. Car is not running nice. Feels not smooth. no power. Very bad fuel economy even while i am driving slowly. But this has nothing to do with the new DV. Was the same before
-
I like to work with cars but in the end they have to drive perfect. I cant tell this from my turbo. At least i drained the intercooler hose. I will drive to france tonight. I hope there will be no bad surprises. The other DV i did not check. Because this side did not have any oil . Just replaced the MAF now. The hose you mention- last pic in my post- looks really a bit worn out. But its saturday. Shops closed. Couldnt get new one. I will see how the PIG is driving tonight
-
Is there no diagramm in the owners manual?
-
Looks like the part which i disconnect is still working. So my work today was to no avail.
-
Hi how i can see if the DV is leaking? I didnt test this thing. i just now make some miles on the higway. Boost is going to 0,8 pretty fast.
-
Its done a little bit of a pain because not much space but i made it. DV is changed according what Lewis postet. Step by step and finito. If my oil problem and power loss is coming from, we will see. of course i got a good portion of oil coming out from the hose which fits to the intercooler. My guess the problem with the oil can come from a some other part. Its the breather hose which is going from somewhere close to the turbo charger up to the breather valve which is sitting on the valve cover. Looks a little bit friggle. It was covered with oil. I clean everything and next km will show whats going on
-
Lewis i found a write up in google where the problem with the oil leaking on he driver side was described. It was a document from a porsche workshop manual. Didnt know that its not allowed to show the link. I send you pm.
-
Sorry Loren. Didnt know this.
-
Thank you Online Ordering will take some days. To late now for me but i will give it a try!
-
Maybe my problem isnt down somewhere. The mentioned Henn coupling is more up.
-
Thank you guys. Unfortunately in germany i never saw redline products.

Clarksongli thanky for jumping in. The vans are working well . There are to stages of speed i remember. If its getting hot its running high speed. They are new too :-) about the temp. Its not that hot here in germany. 27 celcius. I am going to france and there its bit more. Worst is really i stay on the highway in a traffic jam with no moving.
