Cel - p0021
#46
My motorman indicates there is quite a bit of additional work that needs to be done once the motor is dropped and the cams exposed in order to install new rods and whatnot. Probably something in the neighborhood of 25 hours +/- He advises checking with your local builder to get his estimate. Hope that helps,

The cel hasn't come back and the butt dyno and pbox indicate that everything is fine. I know it could be fixed under warranty but since the dealer doesn't pin the camshafts the problem could return so I will leave things alone for now and wait and see if the cel returns. Then I'll have to decide what to do...

FYI, my car came up with the CEL a week ago and I got it into the dealer today. They are expecting to get my cams on Wednesday, and I will hopefully have the car some time this weekend. Anybody out there know how many times this has happened?

Well it looks like the CEL is back, along with the symptoms. Damn. Does anyone know if Porsche has developed a real fix for the camshaft issue? If they just put in another camshaft that will potentially do the same thing then I'd rather just pay and get the camshafts pinned. thoughts?

I have the same issue. Dealership has changed cam position sensors, inspected cams. I still have Cel returning. Funny thing is that the cel clears it self. I have asked why I'm having this issue from day one of ownership and the dealer can't give me a answer. There is a problem and Porsche doesn't have a answer. My car runs strong even with the check engine light on. I just hate having a intermittent check engine light. Dealer dose to seem to be in a hurry to fix the problem. My certified warranty is running out early next year.

If the dealership does it I'm not sure they'd be willing to do this (I'll ask). If it ends up on my dime then I'll get the engine built (not at the dealer) at the same time and have the cams shipped to Todd for pinning.

Is the actuator the same thing as a variator? I had both variators replaced when my motor was rebuilt by Evoms after it threw a CEL when initially reassembled. They indicated when the variators become contaminated, which apparently happens quite often and easily, a CEL is sure to follow. No issues now. Best,
