Researching Porsche Fault Codes

[tac27]

I'm gettin two error codes from the Durametric:

446 Clutch Pedal Encoder

16 Oxygen Sensor Ageing-delay bank 1

I've tried the search function and didn't find anything......

I tried looking up the parts on Pelican; I didn't get a return for a 'clutch pedal encoder' and searching for an oxygen sensor I find there are four choices (two before the cats, two after).

Any guidance on what part to purchase would be appreciated, or if I just completely missed the page containing the codes and the explanation a location for it.

Go to the "DIY Menu" tab near the top left of every page on this site...the pull down menu will give you the OBDII fault codes for your year DME.

Thank Maurice and Loren.

One question...what is 'TWC'? (Never mind, found the Glossary near the codes list......the catalytic converter)

Okay, I do have another question.....

Which side is 'bank 1'?

Is that the exaust system from the left side of the engine or the passenger side?

Ok....I found the answer.

Problems is I kept getting an error code when I searched the term 'bank 1' (the '1' is less than three charachters).

I finally had success searching for 'oxygen bank' and found a response by RFM that bank one is from the passenger side, so thanks to RFM for his post.

Bank one is cylinders 1-2-3

Bank two is cylinders 4-5-6

Thanks Loren, you responded faster that I could edit my post!

Ok, I'm a bit confused......

If I understand the diagram to which Loren directed me, bank one (1-2-3) is on the driver's (US model) or left side of the engine (as viewed from the rear of the car).....

but in this post (http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?/topic/35510-oxygen-sensor-error-code-which-one-is-it/page__p__188147__hl__%2Boxygen+%2Bbank__fromsearch__1#entry188147), RFM instructs that it is on the passenger side, which I take to be on the right side, viewed from the rear of the car (4-5-6).....

So...which is correct?

[Loren]

RFM's post is for a Cayenne -- my post is for a Carrera.

A Carrera has the engine turned 180 degrees from a "normal" car.

You posted in the Carrera forum so I assumed Carrera.

[tac27]

Ah, darn....

I didn't even notice he was responding to a question about a Cayenne.....

Thanks for you patience, Loren!
