Hi All,

Quick question regarding the following TSB which seems to cover most 2007-2009 turbos: "W902 - Reworking Adjustment Mechanism for Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG)"

The TSB shows the following 2007 VINs are affected
USA 2007 911 Turbo/GT2 (997)
WP0AD29927S783102 to WP0AD29967S786908

My Question is if my VIN is WP0AD29997S7868XX do I fall in this range? Are the last 6 digits all that matter? if so I guess I fall in the band

In any case if I call a Porsche dealer with my VIN and the associated TSB can they check to see if the previous owner completed the service?

thanks

 

You can call your dealer with your VIN # and they should be able to tell you all the recalls/bulletins/etc. for your car and which ones have or have not been done.

 

Last 6 are the important ones. And as already mentioned, dealer can check your VIN to see if bulletin was taken care of.

Thanks guys, I just had the car inspected thoroughly during a PPI this past Wednesday and all was reported to be in good working order. I even asked the lady at the service desk to run a VIN check for any open recalls and it was clean. Is there a difference between "recalls" and "TSBs"?

I'll double check with them this morning to confirm. BTW what would be a symptom if one of these turbo actuator rods were sticking?

thanks

A recall is a repair that the dealer will fix free of charge. Most often a safety hazard.

A TSB is a technical service bulitin. This is used as a technician note. If they are searching for a problem, and there are common reports of the same issus, they will issue a TSB. It aids in diagnostics. A TSB is not a recall. It will not be done unless needed, and is not done for free, unless it is a warranty repair.

thanks for clarifying Mike. So when I asked the service desk to check for any open recalls under my VIN would the outstanding TSBs also have shown up or would this be a separate check?

 

dealer just confirmed W902 was completed per VIN check back in 2009

this board rocks, thanks all!
