So you haven't had the miss fire issue with your car? Some reason I thought bf-clt said you had it happen last winter. I guess that's when you had the injectors replaced.

If you look at Porsche Certificate of Authenticity (can buy from Atlanta office), it has that info...

EDIT: Sorry for the bad info, Engine Number is no longer included on a COA (just engine model code). It used to be there long ago (like with my 73S).

Glad to see the NW porsche dealers doing the right thing! My plan is to drive the snot out of mine (just finished 2 days at Oregon Raceway park, probably 7 hours of total track time over 2 days, I'm whooped but the car was flawless!)

Will get the parts for the fix and test them as well, but honestly want Porsche to get this fixed correctly, also starting to investigate the differences with the 991.2 cup heads and oiling system, this could bear fruit for us 991.1 guys as well, wouldn't be the first time motorsports parts fix a street car issue...

Stay on top of it Jamie!! Your RL brethren are very appreciative. Keep us updated when you learn more on the changes. To be honest with you, I am hesitant to do your catted exhaust until I know if I am keeping the .1 My name is on the list for the .2 already, but I still love my current car.

If i am not mistaken their headers should work on the .2 as well

Update: Coils swapped, still misfire in the same cylinder. Rebuild or new engine, up to PAG. One more car is officially "in the club".

My car went into limp mode on the track but the dealer fix was to replace several injectors. I was skeptical that would address the issue but it has been running fine since then.

Jamie@dundonmotorsports

Either headers will work on the .2 as well! So you're good to get them and move them over or keep them on the 991.1!

Consider yourself lucky. I feel bad for the owner's that have engines let go when warranty expires.

It's not my car. It's my friend, who won luck lottery this time.

Mine already had a rebuild of second engine earlier this summer, so my time to get lucky again is not there yet. I expect my engine to fail again with lucky message about control fault mid-summer of 2017.

2017 will bring a lot of luck of this sort to .1 GT3 and probably RS owners, IMO.

Another failure to report on 991 GT3 E engine (one of our club member).
24500 kms, car blocked on stop sale and delivered in DEC 14.
low activity on track.

Car failed on last event in Dubai. Dealer was unable to find the code in the history so they kept the car and luckily they were able to repeat the code after some driving. Misfire.

they opened one side only, one cam is scratched, others are just DLC coat removed at some area.
They have proposed him engine rebuilt for the moment. I advised him to check the opposite side and request for an other engine from factory.

he is waiting the report of the second side before asking the engine replacement. I will let you know the outcome.

I actually know the easy fix. It's just a matter of time till they will apply it.

I think at some point they will re-write the code to bring misfire messages only when it's a really really bad series of misfires. Every car will get re-flashed on occasion. Maybe this "upgrade" will even be a complimentary for us, with zero cost.

VAG is very good at software coding, as we've got to know last year.

They put DLC coating in 2014?
What reason would they have for expecting the other half to look any different?

squid42

If the dealer says the DLC coat is scratched on a 2014 with an E series that is not a good sign. Doesn't matter if he/she gets a new engine of course.

Just in time

Are u suggesting that PAG will trick up the software so as to avoid showing real performance and problems? If they do then they did not learn anything fron VAGs die$$el debacle.
