Correction to camshaft CEL -2189

Sorry, but I listed the wrong code, got it confused with my E320 repair. The code was 2189. Any help or assistance would be helpful.

P2189 is the code for an overly lean condition on bank #2 at idle, probably a small vacuum leak.

Yeah, well it still cost me $1,291 bucks

Thanks for the information, but the Porsche repair shop is still having an issue with the CEL still being shown on the dash. I have ask them to check for a vacuum leak, but the P2189 code is still showing.

And it will continue to be displayed until the fault is corrected........

Any decent repair shop will have a smoke machine tester that is used for diagnosing EVAP systems on modern cars, it is also great for finding tiny vacuum leaks as smoke will come out of those as well.
