Hi PHers

My cayenne is with Porsche now, 1 month after extending it’s Warranty from Porsche, with an EML but driving normally

“INV EML - Carried out Pre VAL and found faults P049100 - Air injection system, bank 1 – insufficient flowP049200 - Air injection system, bank 2 – malfunction stored. Carried out guided fault finding and found secondary air injection system clean required followed by a re test - This is the first step in order to rectify the issue”

A quick AI search and read of the teas and seas of the Warranty would imply to me that it should be covered but the “agent” is telling me that cleaning is not covered as it is not a “manufacturing defect”.

Taking it further with Porsche tomorrow but wonder if there was any similar experience on here with similar PHEV cayennes (and maybe Panamera if they share the engine?) I think it’s the same engine as Audi S4 with the hybrid as well

I had this on my 2016 E-Hybrid

Only sure fire way to get rid of the coking on the inlets is to have the head walnut blasted, but I went for the "fill it with Shell 99RON and drive the nuts off it approach". Cleared the code with my OBD reader and it hasn't come back yet.

Supposedly an issue on these S5 engines in the E-Hybrid application because of the thermal cycles (or lacktherof) but also because the inlets don't get washed with fuel

Porsche Mode wanted about £2K to walnut blast it

Thanks Alex,
out of interest which OBD reader do you use on the car?
Best wishes

How can fuel choice, and driving the nuts off it make any real difference though?

99RON definitely better for e.g. Injectors.

It won't do anything for the inlet once it's already cooked up.
