  Summary

  Information: Debris from the production process can get caught in the check valve in the oil supply line to the turbocharger and cause it to stick open. This allows too much oil to enter the turbocharger and overwhelms the seal. Beginning on 08.17.2016 an extra check for debris was implemented in production to avoid this issue in the field

  Summary

  There is a possibility that the fastening screws for the fuel collection pipes on the affected vehicles can shear off due to stress corrosion cracking. If this happens, the high fuel pressure that builds up in the fuel injection system when the engine is running can press the relevant fuel collection pipe off the fuel injectors. This can cause a fuel leak in the engine compartment. Replace fastening screws for both fuel collection pipes.

  Summary

  With the introduction of the new Porsche Communication Management system (PCM 4.0), customers of vehicles with a navigation module will be provided with updated maps free of charge for a certain inclusive period as part of the Map Update service. Themaps will be updated for the first time in theMap Update service using an SD card as part of this workshop campaign. In the course of annual model improvements, various functionalities of the PCM have been enhanced, optimizations have been implemented and the general performance of the system has been further improved at the same time. These functional enhancements and optimizations must be implemented retrospectively even for vehicles manufactured before the model improvement measures were introduced. To this end, the PCM software will also be updated using an SD card. Due to the changes to the PCM, the instrument cluster must also be re-programmed using the PIWIS Tester in order to ensure consistency between the displays in PCM and the instrument cluster.

  Summary

  During diagnostic monitoring of the hydraulic control valves of the PDK transmission, a fault memory entry is stored in the PDK control unit if an implausible shift rod movement is detected. The PDK control unit therefore initiates a flushing measure in order to flush particles of dirt determined as the cause of the fault out of the hydraulic control valves. As soon as the fault memory entry was activated in two consecutive driving cycles, there was a possibility with the previous diagnostic configuration that the message "Engine control fault ? visit workshop ? Driving permitted" would be displayed in the instrument cluster although the flushing measure had already been carried out successfully and a fault was no longer present. To prevent this from happening, the diagnostic function for monitoring the hydraulic control valves will be adapted accordingly.
