any report of these being replaced in 06 models?

 

2004 CS - 30,000 km service. That's all. 32,000 miles. Original Diamaris 22" on TechArts.

 

I spoke too soon. (See post #3 above).

Turns out I do I have coil issue (at 39,8XX).

Went to the dealer today for 40K service today.
On Saturday (2 days before my scheduled service), truck stalled backing out of the garage. (WTF?) This morning, before heading off to the dealer, it stutterred after ignition.

I told dealer about it when I got there and they said it was a cracked coil issue. They replaced the coils during the 40K service. Everything seems fine now.

The coil problem seemingly happened overnight.

 

Drive the 993 instead......

 

It didn't happen overnight.. it's just that it finally gets bad enough that you notice it.. and sometimes it just takes forever for it to get diagnosed.

Case in point.. I finally am at my office and bothered to pull out the files.. I started complaining about cold idle/roughness at 7800 miles.. car stalled at 34,000 miles one time.. never could find codes or faults stored by PIWIS.. at 46,000 miles and two years of ownership.. found all 8 plugs prematurely worn and ALL coils had hairline cracks (allowing moisture) thus replaced all.

So, it would seem that you get used to it and it seemed worse during high humidity (spring/summer).. if you have part number 948-602-104-00 ... it is eventually going to fail.. only later models got a new coil design (or at least that is what I think.. brad/ltc?).

 

I believe the Cayenne got mad it me because I've been keeping it outside since I got the 993 about a month ago.

 

Cayennes do NOT deserve garage space, nor do they deserve a car cover.

I remember Larry's Cayenne.......never washed/waxed, baked on brake dust that a Brillo pad wouldn't remove........well, it was washed by the dealer when it was in for service (I know, when was it NOT in for service) who either felt bad or was embarassed to have it sitting on the lot looking the way it did.....

Why wash a pig....it's only going to go back and roll in the mud again.....save water, dont' wash a Cayenne.

 

Mad Fox, did your coils fail in the 04 or 06 model?

 

I have had all of the symptoms (currently slightly under 41k) for a while but service department never found anything wrong. Then again, I might be one of those "lying customers" that firehawk encounters on daily basis :-).

 

03 S, 42K mileage at trade in, no coil issues.

 

it's coils. insist they check..

 

we lovingly refer to my and all other '04s .... as a BETA!

'06 Tit.S has been absolutely bullet-proof to date. 9 months/12K miles.

 

C'mon, MadFox, you don't think I insisted??? Was told that the service manager checked them PERSONALLY and found them to be in perfect health. Will insist some more next week.

 

The tech at my dealer said the tell tale sign is if there is any sputtering after you turn the ignition, even for a brief moment or so. He said if customer reports that then they have the directive to replace the coils.

 

no coils, 2006 CV6 38K.
