I sold my 996 C4S this evening to a private buyer. The car has been pretty much perfect in my ownership the last 2.5 years, apart from the water pump giving up last week. Prior to selling the car, I had a new pump fitted and all has been well the last week or so.
The buyer collected the car this eve and headed off home. Sounded 100% perfect as he drove off. 1 Hour later he calls me and reports the engine management light is on and the engine is vibrating and sounds like it's running on 1 less cylinder. He's managed to get the car home ok.
He says the oil pressure looks ok and water temp fine. But even at idle it's not sounding like all 6 cylinders are running.
I feel really dreadful as to my knowledge the car was fine. Never had anything like this happen on the car!
Is this likely to be coil packs, plugs or injector? The only other thing I can think of is I fuelled the car up for him last night (Shell VPower). Have checked receipt to make sure fuel type was correct, but could it be a bad batch of fuel?
Could it be something worse? I do feel terrible for the chap as he's only had it an hour.
Thanks.
