They were replaced and a cracked vacuum canister was detected. Replaced too. Total costs, just shy of $775. 3K miles later, still no CELs and the grins get better.

You wouldn't happen to have those part numbers? How much of it was labor? If I could look up parts, I then can find cheaper on line and have my local Porsche dealer parts guy match the prices. Did you car ride different and make some engine type noise behind your seat before this was fixed?
