P000A: Intake Camshaft Adjuster Bank 1 to be operating slowly

I experienced subject fault, dealer replaced timing solenoid (9A110530803) (fortunately under CPO), but now, two weeks later, i get the same fault. Amazingly, a google search of "Porsche 911 P0000A" yielded no relevant hits. No other symptoms, car running great. Anyone have any experience or advice on how to proceed?

There's a sensor on each bank for the variocam system in addition to the solenoids that actually do the motion. Maybe one of the sensors is going bad.

If you're under CPO take it to the dealer, why even bother with google?

When i got the original code addressed i didn't bother w/ a search or an append, but now that it came back it made me curious. I got plenty of hits on P000A for subaru, audi, vw, dodge ... and even a bunch on cayennes, but not a single one on a 911.

Don't underestimate the power of the web, there is a ton of experience and knowledge out there (including this forum).

For example, the advice Petza914 gave could save a trip to the dealer and a day or two in a macan for those of us unfortunate enough to suffer a P000A!

That's true there is a lot of experience and knowledge out there but the problem is most of the time they're drowned out by people who pretend they know everything and like to be an internet hero and blow smoke everywhere. But please share the wisdom of Petza914 with me. Seriously.
