So last night... the dam Turbo died again... seems to be my 4 or 5th fuel pump..... that makes it 6 times my car has been in for fuel issues in 5k miles... Porsche wants to blame it on the intake, div, or exhaust i had installed... they kept asking what do i have done to the car and so fourth... then offered me only 1500 for my down time and past issues with the car... thats including a dented door, scratched (BIG) front bumper....

I am woundering if anyone on here has ever heard of anyone having problems with their car or someone elses car dying cause of fuel or "Unknown" issues... I know in the past someone said something about finding a car that was a known lemon being resold and its problem was it would stop running for no known reason....

I just want a WORK car that i can drive safetly and be able to modd it with out woundering if its going to blow up in my face...

THANKS FOR READING ALL

 

sorry to hear this, hope you get your problem fixed and running smoothly...

 

Dvs and exhaust do not cause fuel systems to go bad. call a lawyer and start communicating with the dealership thru him.
put the car back to stock and see what happens.....

 

i figure thats what i am going to do... this is just so dam crazy... cause honestly i feel like i own a4's and boxters....not a turbo... but yeah hopefully will have a lawyer this week...gonna go lawyer hunting...

 

Oh man... that's really sucks. I remember talking to 6-speed member 'Zed' and he had some issues with fuel line.

 

the dealer always blames mods when problems arise... i remember my mercedes wouldn't start up and they blamed my aftermarket stero...

 

Does it always fail for the same thing? If so, why hasn't it been lemoned yet?

 

lemon is easy said then done... i gotta go get a lawyer to do it...and i hate dealing with lawyers...even though i want to become one.. LOL

 

Have a look at the pins in the MAF head connector, a lose pin can cause all sorts of problems believe me, but you may need a dealer to determine this

 

Had 2 pumps replaced on the 2005 Turbo S. Was told this is a relatively common problem. The D clips (crimped) that hold the lines on the pump really do not hold that well and over time wiggle off. Result no fuel pressure.

After two failures got proactive and replaced all the D clips with traditional hose clamps and the problem has not reappeared (thankfully)

Hope this helps.

 

No you don't need a lawyer to lemon a car. Have you reviewed the procedure in your state? Where are you located?

 

i am in cali... have no idea really what to do... I found out today as a friend of mine over heard them talking at the dealer...and the service manager said that they feel "I am causing the problem, and we are going to get to the bottom of it." The funny thing is almost every time it goes in its not just for a blow fuel pump... This time its in for the blown pump and i was going to bring it in anyways as the car is making a metal whinning noise from the front in slow semi-tight turns...also the driver side window is very ruff going up and down.... I feel insulted they thing i am the cause... All i been asking from day one is whats the problem and they say they dont know... Today they said they will finally do a full overhaul of anything that could be a cause... but this is a joke... I want a running TURBO...not an A4 2.0T

 

Might want to try a different dealer. They're not always that bright. For instance, I TOLD my dealer to look for a boost leak last time it was in. He couldn't find anything wrong. Ended up repairing the loose turbo to intercooler hose myself...
