lve not had any issues like that, apart from the top end problem you'd think the car was running 100%.

lve seen on a few porsche spares sites they recommend replacing the lambda sensors every 30,000 miles.

My cars done 94,000 miles and ive most of the spares receipts from new and have none for the MAF or lambda sensors, so looks like there the ordinals

I'm having a similar hesitation as well, after my AOS died. I replaced the AOS and MAF so far and its fairly good, but when cruising or accelerating it pulls strong then suddenly coasts for about 1 second then resumes accelerating.

It recurs at somewhat random intervals of 5 seconds or more in the 4000+ rpm range.

No codes thrown yet.

I did notice the gas cap seal appears to be cracking a bit and wonder if that could be a factor?

If its a Oxygen lambda sensor wouldn't you be getting those codes indicating it was at fault?
