We are lucky to have a decent amount of Porsche shops around here.

At this point I’m only getting a “Camshaft adjustment Bank 1” code and it seems like the actuator is working intermittently. For example, 8/10 times when I start out in 1st gear the car will feel great with plenty of torque. The other 2 times it feels like it’s struggling to rev (no torque) and does not respond to throttle position well at all. Leads me to believe the timing is just not quite right in those instances on Bank 1 causing the sluggish behavior. I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and just get the actuator fully replaced.
The shop I’m working with is All German Performance on Hendersonville road. Daniel (the owner/lead mechanic) has been great thus far and really fair with pricing out the labor. It’s been a bit of a goose chase trying to pinpoint this issue but I think we finally have it nailed down. Going to get the part swapped next week and hopefully that will be the end of it.
