This problem appeared on my Carrera 2002, i turned it off and didn't appear after that...i checked for potential visual problems but nothing appeared. Can it be just a sensor issue or something small because i don't hear anything wrong with the sound of the engine...
Lets say the CEL light doesn't come back on, is it safe to drive it or i risk more damage?

I get the code once a month for the past 6 or 7 months, just keep driving, isn't going to hurt anything.
i took it to local porsche indy who says the filter in front of pump can become brittle, break off, then break the pump impellar as it is sucked through...apparently was common with the filters porsche was using in the 2000s.
he told me keep driving and watch for one on ebay at a cheap price and bring it back if the CEL bothered me that much.

I had to change out of of the connectors, but that was it...
took about 40 minutes each side...

Secondary air pump
Here's the inside of a secondary air pump. It also blew a 40 amp fuse. The hose was clogged with all these bits. I put a new one in two weeks ago and I just got the same fault code. I haven't dug into it yet but I suspect the air pump came from china. Enough said. [ATTACH]

During my rough change transmission issue, I had "Secondary Air Pump Bank 2 Fault" replaced and cured it for a couple of days only for the transmission problem to return in conjunction with a leaky plastic pipe and a faulty EGR valve, both replaced and no more problem.
Never had the rough idle though!
