Car came back from Porsche, they found the bypass the previous owner installed (the exhaust is stock).
so far so good, no warning car drives perfect.

Will update ...

Thanks all for your assistance, greatly appreciate it.

I am at sea level but I feel your pain, my car just had a great oil report (best one of any of the DFI motored cars I have owned) and isn't using much oil even during track days. Runs flawlessly, doesn't miss a beat! I'm only at 15K miles though. Plenty of rush hour traffic around here to hopefully accelerate the process.

Porsche will fix it.

Hey Everyone,

Got word back from the service advisor at Porsche. The DME showed misfire on Cylinder #5 that happen on high temp in low revs.
They have replaced the coil and say the engine works normally, they will continue testing it as I asked to replace the front lip as well so the car will stay there for additional2-3 days.

Will update.

Cheers

Going through the normal protocol. Good luck.

Sounds a bit familiar. Ultimately they're installing a new engine into my car as we speak but it took some time diagnosing it with coilpacks, secondary air pump, etc.

Goodluck. Curious what they charged you for the 5 year extension?

afk

good luck

Hey Everyone,

Got my GT3 back from Porsche, they have replaced the coil and made several driving in high temp and no more alerts.
They did say that yellow oil overfill warning came up and indeed when I took the car and noticed the yellow warning light on. The car did oil service month ago and the light never came on, perhaps its a sensor.


Now its waiting time, wonder when ill need to head back for en engine

I'd give it a week lol. That overfill thing is normal. Well, they all do it.
