Check to avoid A LOT of troubles:

There is an issue on some 3.8RSs related to the gear driving the VARIOCAM.
The bolt fixing this gear (which is driven by the chain coming from the crankshaft)might get loose and detach!
This causes the cam shafts not moving according to the pistons phases... disaster!!!
It happened already to 3/4 cars in Italy and Porsche is probably launching a "recall" in order to check this BLOODY bolt!
Wanted to warn you just in case!

 

Is this confined to only the 3.8 MK2? Might have happened to an MK1 but still not sure.

 

I've been told about MK2, I do not know about MK1 but checking that part is very easy so maybe it worths a look...

 

Yeah, might tell the mechanic to check up on it while mine is at the dealers. Thanks for the headsup and any additional info is welcome.

 

You can count on it!
