P1341 and P0430 Codes - Stored, no CEL 2003 S

Curious what the deleted response was...

Honestly just trying to get a holistic view of the Variocam Plus system as few people have written much about it. Spending time is fine -- this is a hobby car not my daily -- and I enjoy learning about the design/engineering solutions engineers come up with. More surprised there's little discussion about Variocam Plus in the 986.2/996.2 community, which leads me to believe faults are currently rare.

That all said, looking at 9A1 987.2s is more compelling every passing day.

My bet is what he was implying is get the right tools and get the right instructions and do the right tests and interpret them correctly. Instructions come with flow charts and lots of details. Test this this way and if you get these results then do this. For these codes they get complicated.

There are samples here if you search for those codes. Though they may not match your specific engine.

Or pay the person who has all that and the experience ... which is liable to be cheaper than shotgunning parts.
