I am new to this forum and Porsche ownership, I look forward to participating in discussions as I learn more about the subject. My ride is a 2000 S , Ocean blue over Savanna leather, 1 owner , full service records, new clutch, IMSB, water pump, tires, and other new parts, 100K
My question today involves camshaft deviation. I took my car to a local independent Porsche shop for an oil change and going over. Everything looks good except for camshaft deviation, -5.5 and -8.4. The car runs very strong, rock solid idle, no noise at cold start up, no codes. The shop is recommending replacement of the adjusting mechanism. I would appreciate any comments from the vast knowledge of the members of this forum.
Thanks in advance, from an old guy with an awesome new ride.
