I'm getting concerned that my indy is struggling to find a solution to my CEL issue that has resurfaced after spending about $7000 10 months ago to remedy the situation. That eventually turned out to be replacement of lifters and some variocam parts. I'm thinking that I need another avenue of diagnosis. Please give me any +/- you have for Tampa/St. Pete and Jacksonville. Anyone have any experience with the service dept. at Porsche of Ocala since the ownership changed? Thanks

Reeves (Tampa) has always taken care of me. Expensive but they know what they are doing.

It's a bit of a trek but Porsche of Destin has always been very competent, they have an excellent Porsche master tech who works there.

Also what codes are throwing the new CEL?

Why did they diagnose your lifters as failing? Were your lifters throwing codes?

I know a Porsche Tech in Pensacola who is extremely competent has his own independent shop (former Porsche tech). I just took my CEL to him, the car had some misfires throwing codes (mainly from sitting for 6 months without being driven). His name is Harry Williams.

Thanks Mamba and Para 82, Para, my codes are the 030 (I think that's the group), misfires on all 6 cylinders. These are exactly the codes that were an issue for my last, very pricey pursuit. As you know, there are about a dozen different things that can result in this misfire code group. Your dealer in Destin used to own the Gainesville dealership, but that is no longer the case. It was a 3 week mystery hunt last time and my shop is already 3 days in, new coil packs thrown at the problem and nothing yet, so I'm starting to sweat. Someone else has mentioned Reeves in Tampa as well, the shorter drive may take me there.
Thanks for the suggestions!!
