Resurrecting this thread with an update… It’s been a CRAZY few months. In a nut shell the dealer and Porsche HQ diagnosed the issue…and it wasn’t pretty! It started when the garage confirmed that after replacing both the high pressure fuel pump and the low pressure one (in the tank), that there was ...

Quick update from today: Car has been back and forth from the garage and is now there for the next few days given then can’t find a fix. Basically they’ve now installed a new high pressure fuel pump, a low pressure pump (I think this is located in the fuel tank) and a fuel sensor and it still persi...

the worrying thing is if it was caused by contaminated fuel. You said it happened after you filled the tank. If the fuel had crap in it it may have caused issues with the HPFP. Make sure you keep your petrol receipt Yeah it’s crossed my mind, it was Esso premium unleaded so would hope not. How woul...
