Camshaft sensor check engine light

Also, could the new sound that you hear be from the new UDP and belt you installed? I guess we gotta take a look

I bought a roller with an IMS failure. I checked for codes and it had thrown a camshaft deviation code.

I thought it could be the udp but when I put it on, I took the car for a drive and listened hard for new sounds, this one was definitely not there.

JamesP:
Is that error code a cam deviation code?

Yes, my 03 S came to me with a failed IMS and when I read the code it was a cam timing deviation code. I don't recall the code number. I'll see if it is still in memory tonight.

The person I bought my car from drove it several blocks home because it was making so much noise. Like rocks in a tin can she said. The "only" damage was the IMS shaft and bearing assembly. The case is still split waiting on new parts.

My sound is nothing like that. It's more like, a poorly lubed bearing spinning. I was afraid some metal dust could have gotten into the tensioner pulley when I was installing the udp (I thought I vacuumed it all). It's weird that I noticed them now though? Like 600mi later?

Are you serious - it sounds like a 'Poorly lubed bearing'. I'd get it towed to the nearest Porsche specialist. It could save you a rebuild vs. an IMSB replacement.:chicken: could be your cheapest tow ever...

I feel like I'm watching a slow motion train wreck. What kind of wheels are on the car?
