Ok, this is the 4th time in 3 months my car has gone back to the shop with a CE light on. This first time they changed the Air/oil seperator, MAS and Oxygen sensor. The last two time they said that the sensor was bad and that they would replace it. After getting the CE light on a 4th time they said they would review the problem a bit closer, they should have done this in the first place. After a week in the shop at Porsche they said the sensor went bad due to carbon build up in the intakes. Has anyone had this? I only have 29K on this car so I cannot imagine how the carbon can build up that quickly. I also do drive the car as aggresive as I can. Any sugg would be helpful.
