Need to clear engine light, car is showing codes 0410, 1411, 1313 thru 1319. Car is idling at stops and when down shifting to 1st and 2nd and to neutral it stalls. Also when I start the car ther is blue smoke that comes out the tail pipe like a cloud of blue smoke. Also the air filter was changed to a k and n filter (not oiled).
I left the car at porsche shop not dealer to check all these problems, what should I be looking out for or aware of? I am trying to avoid all this from turning into a huge mess. One other thing we found that 3 seals leak on the spark plug change we tried to clean and dry as much as possible? Any thoughts on what to keep in mind with the mechanic for example what he should be checking for or doing?
