Default Failed Injector #3
2000 miles on my 11 Spyder and the check engine light comes one in traffic on the highway - coincidentally 1 mile from the dealership... Turns out injector #3 has failed. Took 3 days to get the part in and I get the car back tomorrow. I must say it's not a good experience with my first Porsche... I hope nothing else breaks...

That sucks... Sorry to hear your misfortune. Luckily you were close to your dealership.

I had the same problem, coincidentally around 2K miles. Hopefully no more issues, keeping my fingers crossed.

25 years of owning over 20 cars. This is the first time I've had a mechanical failure - though I could still limp to the dealership. Kind of disconcerting though.
