Hi guys, i have a issue with Bank 1. I have rough idle, car starts "slower" than normal & a PSM, AWD & Start-Stop Failure dash lights too. The Fault Code is P0344 (Cam sensor intermittent) Got a new cam sensor, new battery, fresh oil change, new coils & spark plugs (wanted to refresh this stuff anyways) but still this code comes up after i delete it. Whats a bit annoying - if i start the car (Panamera 4s 970) the cam sensor shows only a short time reading the camshaft position and then goes to 0 degrees. But when i took it for a drive and let the Scan tool on the readings stsrt to come sometimes at round about 2000 rpm I also checked the tone ring on the Camshaft thru the Sensor hole. It looked fine and not damaged. Also the bolts on the adjuster looked good since many people had problems with that. Im literally stuck right now. Can a bad or dirty Solenoid could bring up faults like this?! I inspected the old oil and filter after the oil change and they looked very old and absoluter not that good. Hopefully someone have any kind of advice for me. I hope to get it sorted & would report here my next steps. Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english 😅
Not that I recall, I knew I was on the right track when I pulled the VVT bank 2 code, the hardest part was figuring out where the darn sensor was located.
it went fine, the big issue was getting the top bolt off off the solenoid, I had to experiment until I got the right combination of socket and socket cap combo. No oil came out which was great. This solved my rough idle issue.
will this cause car not to smog? I don't get that code but the dealer says that it "may" be these solenoids. Dealer was crap and don't go to LOng Beach Porsche Dealer if you don't want to get robbed, plus they are owned by mercedes now!!
I just did this job. Life hack… use a 1/4” box end wrench to loosen and tighten that too bolt.
That probably would have been optimal! Thanks for the feedback, hopefully we can help some people out.
Great video, keep up the good work!!
Thank you I'll try, I think i have front parking sensors next :(

I was wondering if you were able to pin down the issue?
Great video, were you also getting psm failures triggered along with codes prior to replacing?

Awesome thanks for the update, gonna give it a shot
Thanks bud. Need to do mine this weekend. 2011 cayenne s. Owned it since 2018. Not looking forward to this.
How did it go? Very anxious to replace mine
