I have an 02 C2 I purchased in July 09 with 44k. The CEL came on accompanied by the "drive to workshop message" so I took it to the dealer yesterday. The codes that came back were 178/P1325 and P1331. I found the P1325 description but I could not verify the P1331 code with any online sources.

Anyone ever encountered this code and the problem associated with it? The dealer says it's related to the cam actuator. I found this post which I found most informative, but no reference to P1331: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...howtopic=24113

Thanks for your time.

Nothing in my resources. Error codes that begin with "1" are manufacturer specific and I have some info on some of the P1XXX codes but not all.

It is in the general area of codes that apply to cam timing control/sensor errors.

Why not let the dealer sort out the problem and fix it?

Sincerely,

Macster.

This may be it....


P1331 Inlet camshaft output stage, Bank 2 Open circuit
P1325 Factory Fault Code 178 - Camshaft adjustment, Bank 2 Signal implausible, below limit, or above limit

Thanks. Where did you find this? Any analysis of its meaning and cause/effect?

I had a text with some codes that I had saved some time ago, sorry no details.

Nothing wrong with that, except perhaps the expense. I'm just trying to inform myself so I can discuss it intelligently with the tech/service manager and make smart choices. I'm a do-it-myself kind of guy and eventually I plan on doing my own service as much as possible, but I'm still new to Porsche.

if its still under warranty absolutely have the stealer take care of it, if not then take it to a good indy shop or give it a try yourself

I found this manual a little while ago online. Hopefully it is helpful!
