Dreaded Camshaft failure 958 turbo
Hi Guys
I am based in the UK and have just been told by my inde that on bank one the 4 bolts on the camshaft have either sheared or fallen out.
it was on the to-do list after the transfer box.
The warranty will pick up the fixing but I'm having to pay for the exploratory side determining the damage caused by defective bolts.
My vehicle is a late 10 plate turbo done 54,000 miles, always serviced and looked after.
What i want to do is collect a list of everyone in the UK using this engine Cayenne and Panamera that has had an engine failure once done i will
pass the info directly to Porsche AG bypassing the UK dealers who deny there is a problem!!
Thank for your assistance
Regards Gordon.

There is an extensive thread on Rennlist that you might find useful in making your case. I actually believe it was those guys that brought this issue to light in the US and caused the formal recall.

I have looked through it, a lawsuit changed Porsche's mind in the USA.
As yet nothing in the UK.
I have informed the DVSA of my problem and I suggest anyone in the UK that has either suffered engine failure or is worried about it
get filling in the VSDR forms on their web site portal the more the better.
