    Head gaskets don’t fail. cracked cylinder head is not uncommon and can often be welded. A decent cylinder head rebuilder can probably do this. if the cylinder itself is cracked, then either new liners (and not just any body should be trusted) or a replacement case half is needed. I’d seriously consider just a used engine and maybe take my chances vs the expense of new liners or the effort and (while your in there) costs.

    Realized it’s this part I am looking for… the small pin/post connected to the screen.
  3. txhokie4life
    Does anyone make a replacement piece for the bolt/pin on the right hand side (the center piece). I realize this would require a drill out -- but it would be better than the zip tie setup that I have cobbled together. I'm describing the center section that the assembly rotates around where the two red arrows are the outside pieces, and I'm looking for an inside piece replacement,.

    Resolved -- not exactly sure of the actual solution. I'm suspecting a non-fully inserted brake pad sensor -- but I did assemble and disassemble the Central Informer connectors and probed there and all of the sensors, after a few tries -- things started working. M
  5. txhokie4life
    looking at the electrical diagrams -- it looks like it is one daisy chain into the pair of brake pad pins on the Central Informer module. One end of the chain goes through the central electric, the other side does not. Should be able to devise a method to check this out. Mike

    JFP, Unlikely its rodents -- been garage kept, and no other signs, but good to know. Is there a way to determine which of the 4 circuits is complaining? Is there a resistance or voltage measurement at the connectors? Mike
  7. txhokie4life
    Replaced all 4 sensors, ohmed out the new sensors. Checked the fluid level. Shorted the brake fluid sensor connector wires. no change in behavior. Tried a UDT999 and a Durametric -- no codes that I could dig up. running out of ideas.
  8. txhokie4life
    MAF sensor?
  9. txhokie4life
    Yes, the pull cord is always an option, once you ferret it out, zip tie it someplace easier to get to for future issues. you can also try to trickle charge through the cigarette lighter. Sometimes the battery is so dead, it’s saps the fuse box jumper current.

    Great find Go to 986forum find johnPA (I think) … he’s the boxster rock star I think he’s in your area.

    blinking cel is definitely a bad sign if you had the cam alignment tool you could pop the green cam covers and check to see if the engine is still in time. at tdc, the cam notch is vertical. you might be able to tell without the tool, not sure. if it’s not, you’ve likely bent some valves. The 5 chain design had press fit gears on the IMS tube. In some cases the gear rotated. if the cam is out of alignment, fixing this depends on the root cause. mike mike

    One of the common things of all 3 cylinders is the cam. the chain could have jumped a tooth, the cam sprocket lock bolts slip, or the chain tensioner is weak or failing, or the vario cam tensioner is failing, but I don’t think that would give you the misfire codes. I can’t remember if this is a 5 chain engine, but the cam sprocket for one chain could have slipped on the ims. it could also be a failed/failing ims bearing. I believe it is possible to have a AOS fail and only dump oil on one side of the intakes, I forget where the AOS feeds back into the intake. You would have a good bit of oily blue smoke I would check compression on cylinders 4,5,6 I think you can check the cam timing for the two banks and see what the delta is with the durametric mike

    just got the same error on my 2015 Panamera s Hybrid. Anybody figure out what the issue is?
  14. txhokie4life
    If you undid the throttle body, check the connections around that area, as was mentioned, any vacuum leak .. or basically any source of unmetered air (air after the maf) can cause this behavior
  15. txhokie4life
    Check your fulcrum pins. They sometimes fail I don’t have a picture, but there are two. Location depends on which 5sp or 6 sp. try a google search to find pix of these pins. mike
