Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 2Original post

Had mine go on the left bank last year. Porsche wanted to take the engine out [big bucks] but my indy dropped the engine left side and replaced it. Not a DIY job I would have thought. Get a diagnostic tester on it to confirm the problem. TB

POST 3Original post

As TB says above, get a diagnostic on it as it may just be a dodgy coil pack or two.

POST 4Original post

Had this go on mine just before Xmas Had it fixed at Paragon. New solenoid needed on bank 1. Quite allot of labour I believe (6hrs ish) Came to about 750 all in if I remember correctly :?: Hope you get it sorted! :thumb:
