Last week I received a P0446 CEL code, after some searching on this site, I cleared the code and filled the gas tank. Yesterday I received P0445, so I dropped off at the dealer. A smoke test revealed leaks in the charcoal canister. I thought I'd post this "smoke" test since I hadn't read about this before. Hope this helps someone else out.

Two months for my dealer to receive the carbon canister from Porsche! My original canister failed causing these check engine codes. In addition, cold engine caused a very rough idle until warmed up. Idle would chase after warmed up. According to my dealer, both were due to the failed canister Hopefully these issues have been fixed.

Parts replaced:

955-201-081-02 Carbon Canister

955-201-908-00 Moulded Hose

N-100-232-91 Hose Clamp
