had my car out for an autox yesterday and at the track today. no repeat of the misfire error after swapping out the coil pack on cylinder 6
Bigkraig not sure you had written earlier in this thread but what was the background on your 6th cylinder misfire situation? And what engine do you have, e?
If you say so get us some prove not just plain talking. I checked my car for recalls two weeks ago and got a print out from Porsche system. No recalls.

What I think he is saying is that Porsche already put out a bulletin to the cars which need to be recalled. Not all are affected so yours is safe.

Well, that would make no sense why some car need oil press upgrade and some not. Anyway I am changing oil soon so at least will check what kind of oil filter I have. I am pretty sure that it is the old type.

A bulletin and a recall are 2 different things, but maybe you don't understand that. A bulletin is noted in the Porsche system that there have been engine failures and what the remedy is, some have gotten top end repairs, others have received whole new engines. The bulletin has been out since last year and was very easy for my service advisor to find.

Now I understand that they send out information to each other that there are engines blowing off or having major technical issues.
From a customer point of view that means nothing. I would like to hear about solutions and particularly about upgraded oil system that got to G series engines and other are omitted.
Mine did not come up for the update, as I've had two different dealerships check, but I would like to know what's different in mine vs the others that have had the update service done.
They switched up coils and spark plugs but misfiring of 3rd cylinder still occurs. So it's serious and paradoxically I'm encouraged as I am closer to getting a g engine in my view. Lets hope Porsche does the right thing.
They will continue to diagnose the problem. Will keep you all posted

I had exactly the same problem. Switched up coils and spark plugs but misfiring of 6rd cylinder still occurred at high RPM. Ended up changing the engine because of failed rocker(broken).

Mine was cylinder 5. They spent a month sending pictures to Germany and going back and fourth to and ended up deciding to do a top end repair(obviously to save $$). Once they got all parts in and started putting everything back together, they found scarring on the valves and now are going to put in an engine. Hopefully your dealership does it faster and inspects everything correctly the first time. I'm going on 6 weeks...

6 weeks?!?!?!?!?! My gosh, that seems like an eternity. Perhaps Porsche better figure out a way to get these cars repaired and back into the owners hands faster than that. Did you keep Macca updated with his collection of info? If not, please do. Thanks
Just got my new engine installed! Came with everything including oil. It took about 40 days from the day I came to the dealer with broken engine. New engine has 2 years warranty.
