  1. 987 Cayman/Boxster DIY, Service, Repairs 2005-2012
    I recently bought a 2008 Cayman S. The old owner said they always used 95 octane fuel, and I have been doing the same over the past couple weeks, but reading the owners manual, it recommends 98 octane for best fuel efficiency and performance. I had a bore scope, compression test, and leak down...

    This is a way of cutting the ignition and fuel to the engine so you can crank to prime the oil gallery prior to starting. Why do this? If you have done any engine work, the car has sat for a while without starting, or most commonly after an oil change. Changing the oil filter will empty the...

    I am going to be re routing the factory fuel system into a surge tank. The feed is clearly on the top, but it seems the return enters somewhere in the back of the tank. I obviously need to either return surge fuel there, or cap it and add to the lid. Can anybody confirm/deny this? And/or any...
  4. 981 Cayman/Boxster Porsche Chat 2013-2016
    Hi guys, quick question: My 981 has sat with a full tank of gas with STA-BIL since October. I'll be putting it back on the road in mid-May once the streets are cleaner and the weather smartens up a bit (Ontario). Should I toss in some fuel system cleaner? If so, how much and which type would...

    Is anybody adding Fuel Injector cleaner on a regular basis? If so which brand? I'm not experiencing issues currently, but my experience with other DI injectors is that they do get build up and spray pattern can be affected. Regards, Jim

  8. 987 Cayman/Boxster Problems & Complaints 2005-2012
    Just recently, my 2006 Cayman S with about 21K miles on it has started to produce fuel fumes/smell in the car. It is most noticeable when the car sits for a while with the windows closed. Level of the fuel tank does not seem to have any impact on this. Once the windows/doors are open, the...

    Yesterday, I took the Boxster out for a ride. It idled a bit rough, but was otherwise ok. After a 2 miles, I got a "Possible Engine Fault, ok to drive on. Shut the car off at my destination a few miles later and restarted, all ok. Then 1 mile later, fault again. Got on the highway, performance...

    I have a 2007 Base 1 Cayman with 30,000 miles. All of a sudden the car will crank but not turn over and my mechanic says the car is not getting fuel. We made sure the battery was fully charged and even swapped batteries to make sure we had plenty cranking power. But still no fuel. Could someone...

    Hi Guys, My 2015 CB is showing the Fuel Gauge levels dropping like crazy! Today I started driving and the fuel gauge showed 183 miles ( or half of tank) and then a few minutes later, it was showing 175 miles. I just drove 5 minutes on a 35 miles per hour road, no Sport mode. Once I got home...

    Sorry for the crazy question but it is based on research I have done before asking the question. I need to ask you guys to be certain. Does the 2007 Cayman base 1 have a fuel filter? My research says it does not. I have bad gas in the fuel tank and we flushed out all of the gas from the tank...

  18. 987 Cayman/Boxster Modifications 2005-2012
    Science question for everyone. Will our engines operate with more fuel efficiency at a lower RPM, to a point, and not harm the engine? For example, if you could run your car, at say, 2200-2500 RPM at 65-75 on the highway, would you and would we get better fuel economy and not harm the engine...
  19. 955-957 Cayenne 2003-2010 - 1st Generation
    I'm looking at buying a 2005 Cayenne, 161km on it. The current owner is saying that it starts rough in the morning, and that the mechanic said it could be a fuel pump or fuel line issue. I've been looking around online for a bit, and haven't found anything that really states that that's what it...
