ENGINE CONTROL FAULT

ENGINE CONTROL FAULT
Started her up this morning and got this message before I pulled out of the garage. It further says Consult a workshop Driving permitted. The service department said its just an engine warning light that the computer will diagnose and not to worry, it's ok to drive. I ,made an appointment for Mon. 8am. I don't know but it seems like the '015 has a few issues that need sorting out. Who knows, maybe the car needs more refinement, more time to get right. It's a great car but frustrating at times.

Interested to hear what the dealer finds.

Likely some kind of a sensor that went off. Sometimes certain fuel mixtures, opening the fuel cap while the car is on, etc can trigger these. This happened to me with my last 997.2 GTS, had to drive it through town a bit and it cleared. Wondering if you have actually driven it around a bit or not.

Got this "Engine control fault. Consult a garage. Driving permitted" message on track today after my very first fast lap. Then immediately after this came "Reduced power. Driving permitted. Consult a garage" and power was reduced to VW Golf level.
Restart, locking-unlocking - nothing helps. Once I go close to 9K RPM, I get reduced power mesage.
Had to drive back home. Track day ended at the very beginning. Very frustrating. Let's see what dealer says at Monday.

I will.
It's so frustrating. I had zero car reliability problems with 997.2 TT, absolute zero. Lots of track days, lots of very aggressive driving and also lots of very stupid driving. 100% reliable all the time.
I expected GT3 to be track perfection. But within a very first week of ownership i faced stupid "oil level check not available" issue and now THIS. damn.
