In a word. NO!.
After a very serious entrepreneurial illness of the past 8 months (bought biz that was in need of cardiac defib and 100% oxygen) heeeeee's baaaaaaack... Hi Lewis!!
my 48K+ miles, 06 Tit.S. nearly died 2 days ago... and all of a sudden.. engine light on, horrible stutter at low rpm... FLASHING engine light if above 5K RPM. "What the hell is that??
I think to myself... we're way past the "old" coil problem.. HELL NO! Larry was right.. New Porsche.. keep putting in 100,000 of the old coils we bought and have in the pipeline and don't fix the inherent design flaw.. However up until this 2003 Cayenne issue re-appearing nearly 7 years later STILL, the Tit.S has been flawless. I just paid because they've been good to me.. but they charged me for plugs but warrantied the coils. I could have pushed it but was in a hurry to pull a 5x8 Uhaul full of stuff on my hitch... so after the whole coils thing.. would you believe it.. 1st time ever... NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hauling the UHaul. <=1=> light worked correctly when turning etc. Larry officially rolled over in his grave.... i.e. Cayenne lighting worked on a trailer and no flashlights on the hood!?!?..
At the office after 6 hours on errands at 1030PM but only to quickly post and hopefully more to follow ....
Cheers!
