This has impaired all modern Porsche engines to include the Cayenne and even the 9a1. Its also occurring to many other European engines, and I am currently developing a cylinder restoration processor the E55 AMG engines, too. They are failing from the same issue after this harsh winter.
This failure is not new, its just more wide spread after this past winter. We normally only see these occurrences from Canadian owners, and we've been seeing them for years. I currently have 3 Canadian Porsches here with two more on the way, and we just shipped one back home to Nova Scotia two weeks ago.
We developed the "fix" for this as our very first M96 development. Few others across this Continent have experienced it, because they do the lifters and when that doesn't solve it, they just sell the car, or send it to us after everyone else gave up on figuring it out.
