P1341 read by Durametric on a 2003

Hi Loren, Logray, and all,

I've searched but only found info for pre-2001 cars, which don't have VarioCam+. My CEL has NEVER been ON but Durametric retrieved P1341. Does this code mean the actuator or its connections are at fault? Mine is a 2003 Carrera 2 coupe manual.

Is this the actuator, which Porsche call Solenoid Hydraulic Valve?

or this one, which Porsche call Vane Cell Adjuster?

If the former and it's failing, is it just a simple remove and replace? Or I need to remove the cam cover, re-time, and such?

Many thanks,

Ahsai

Manufacturer Controlled Ignition System Or Misfire, Are your coil packs cracked?

Um...Durametric said P1341 is camshaft adjustment though. All coil packs were replaced by dealer a few months ago. Car drives very smoothly and there is no CEL.

Thanks.

Most probable is you have a VarioCam actuator on the way out, there was a recent poster with the exact same issue and it was tracked down to the actuator. On the down side, this can be a bit expensive if a dealer does it; I think his all in bill was around $6K. May be a good time to find a quality indy in your area.................

He's got a 2003 JFP so the actuators just pull right out of the cam cover. No need to remove the engine or pull the cam cover off...

The solenoids/actuators themselves a few hundred bucks if I remember right and pretty simple unbolt bolt on procedure.

Thanks Logray and JFP. Yea, I saw this thread which LOgray also replied to. Good to know this solenoid is just remove and replace. I'll check the connection first and then go from there.
