Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

i started my carrera 996 up today and the orange engine light has come on. Is it to do with the cold weather do you think ? Just phoned Porsche and according to them its a common problem in the cold as the emmessions from the car arn't getting away properly. Has this happened to anyone else? It's never happened before, but ive never had this car before during such cold/snow. It starts up fine and drives fine, sounds great. Just the engine light ...
It may have been just a blip with several causes but you need to get the codes read asap as certain faults can lead to further damage i.e catalysts. It doesn't sound like anything at all serious so don't worry about it. Where are you, what is the first half your post code, lets see if anyone with the equipment is close by. Merry Christmas Lloyd
Thanks mate for your help. Yeah, ill take it to the porsche dealer asap. Im wondering, if a garage has a diagnostics checker, can they read the codes? Or does it have to be a porsche?
Apparently it has the same connector as a VW, so any garage with a decent analyser can help, doesn't have to be main dealer - Richard H will be able to deciphre the codes for you I'm sure. :lol: Ray
Richard H is wondering if it might be something to do with all those mods. :lol:
Someone is coming out from the dealer to have a look at it after Christmas, i hope its all fine. Ill let you guys know, thanks.
... but all those GT3 bits are bullet-proof... :?:
damp coils??
