FYI-- Exhaust Campaign (WE12)
New campaign for "exhaust flap vacuum line". Vacuum line and covering gets replaced. Don't know what that means or what difference it makes but it is a new one (at least for early build 991s).

Thanks for the heads up!

For which model? standard or sport exhaust?

Is this why heater is not working? Haven't had the time to take the car in.

Isn't this the same?

My car is at dealer now for exhaust. Seemed like it was stuck in one mode, as if valve not switching. I hope they figure it out.

"S" was stated in the FP and I don't have SE. I was told this was a new campaign; the SA said this was the first he had seen of it. |

I thought you got the change over valves taken care of a few weeks ago? Is it something different or the sam issue? Hope they fix it quickly!
I had hoped to take the bumper off and get a look at it myself, but realized, I may not get to that in a reasonable timeframe. I guess I'll find out if the new campaign applies to me. |

It was a very simple warranty fix in my case. Not sure if this change-over valve issue is specifically the same root cause to what the OP is referring to, but it sounds creepily similar. Cheers! |
