driving home from work other day check engine light came on.Car seems fine with no funny sounds all fluid levels fine is the car safe to drive to dealer or do i need to flatbed it? mods are techart exhaust and ecu no other issues for 15000 km

 

You need a OBD2 scanner, read the CEL light.. possibly buy a Durametric; these cars are good at covering up CELs. Could be a boost leak or something simple; or could be an overturned camshaft inside your motor. Bring it to your local tech and see what they say.

 

Yeah, it's probably fully drivable to your dealer. Wouldn't stress to much about it.
Untill you get the error read out it's pure speculation. But if I were to bet - with an ECU/exhaust it may be your O2 sensor (replace or dirty).

 

Mine also just came on... Scanned it ,shows misfire cylinder 6 ......drives fine ,symptoms are slight hesitation upwards 3-5k rpm ..... Almost like she's chocking .........I am thinking spark plugs ? Coil pack? The MAF airflow sensor wouldn't cause that right ? AnyFeed back

 

Mattym6 - yup, you got it - sounds like plugs. There's almost always a "stutter" (feels like fuel's been cut), in the 3k+ range, generally under load - that's a good sign it's the plugs.

 

hey Thanks PUREPORSCHE ....since the car is still Under CPO Shouldnt be a Problem Right ?

 

Oooh - I think it wont be, it's regular wear, dependent on the millage of course.

 

Don't think the Porsche CPO warranty covers wear items, like oil changes, plugs, filters, etc. Just FWIW.

 

hey pure porsche thanks for the feedback dont think its to serious only thing i notice is maybe i can smell its running a bit rich anyway taking it in tommorow have you had any issues with the techart stuff?

 

My money is on 'post cat sensor, too rich' due to the exhaust.

 

No worries - hope it all works out!

 

update from dealer there are no codes but they noticed the same rich running smell on startup even more than usual so are keeping car for a few more days to check what else it could be. head tech did a roadtest and felt that it wasnt pulling like normal up to 4000 rpm

 

SO did they do anything or just give you a report?

 

If it's a bad coil, it will be covered under the CPO.

 

quick update got the car back from dealer cleared the codes there was no fault recorded so it has been put down to a bad batch of fuel car is running fine now
