  1. 987 Cayman/Boxster Problems & Complaints 2005-2012
    Technical question for you guys: My car recently started blowing rather large clouds of blue smoke on cold start. Its only one big puff and then nothing after. It doesn't do it every time and seems to be worse when the car is pointed downhill. I replaced the AOS (twice) which changed nothing. I...

    Evening all, I hope you are all enjoying the Cayman as much as I am. I have a question about the oil consumption for you experts. Please see attached picture. Do you think the oil consumption looks about right for a Cayman that has done about 600 miles from the 23rd Aug to todays date? Your...

    There is no oil drop on the floor, so far, fortunately. But I'm worried about this tiny leak buildup. I guess the red arrow is the oil leak source. Do you have any idea to solve this issue? replacement sth or any. 2 to 3 days on track use per year normally, and I noticed this leak issue 3...

    Hi all, Recently was in the engine doing an air filter change when I noticed that some of the lines connecting to the AOS seem oily. They weren't dripping and I couldn't see any pooling of oil, but they were noticeably moister than the surrounding plastics. Lately I've also had sporadic smoke...

    Has anyone tried replacing the 981 oil filter housing with the housing from a 3.4L 991? The 991 housing has a 36mm "nut" molded into the end and would be a lot easier than trying to use a 14 flute tool that slips around the housing and doesn't allow a straight extension angle...

    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 took my Cayman to my Indy Porsche specialist for an oil change. After watching them change the oil, I came to the conclusion that it is not a do it yourself job. It tool them an hour and a half to change the oil. They had a hard time getting there software to reset the service notification...

    Hi everyone, I'm a newly minted Porsche owner that has learned he didn't do enough homework with his first Porsche purchase. Anyhow last year I bought a 2008 Boxster S at purchase it had 20K mile. It came from the dealership that previously held a Porsche Franchise before it spun off to be...

    So I just noticed the oil gauge(?) is all the way to the top. I’m thinking the dealer put too much in when they changed it. To be clear all bars are full and it’s past the upper level with the downward pointing arrow.

    Where is the oil filter located on my 2017 Cayman base engine? Is it under the car? Do I need a special wrench to remove the oil filter?

    After purchasing my CS a week ago and driving it about 500 miles, I had what I thought was a game over moment a couple of days ago. I backed out of a friend's driveway and the dash lit up, the car died and I got an insufficient oil pressure warning. The car started back up and ran fine for the...

    Today I left my garage after filling up one bar on the oil gauge, did notice that the rpm counter was bit fluctuating.. But thought that this was perhaps related to a cold engine, so I started my round trip of 200miles with a half way stop. So after the half way stop, +- one hour, I started her...

    Got my oil changed on my 15 BB 2 weeks ago. When the car is in the garage on level floor,no oil leak. But when I park it in my driveway which has a 20-30 degree incline I get a little oil leakage. I’ve parked it in the driveway twice and got the leak twice. Guess I’ll be going to the dealer next...

    I was wondering if someone can provide insight on the oil leak on top of my 3.4L 9A1 Engine I see the passenger side of the plenum wet and also top of the driver side of the engine where the oil cooler is wet as well. I am not sure if the oil cooler is leaking as the whole thing is all covered...

    Hello everyone, Instead of clogging up the “what did you do today…” thread with this issue, I figured it would be best to start a dedicated thread on this. My new to me ’07 Cayman Base showed signs of a failed AOS. Smoke on startup from oil in the upper vent hose and throughout the intake. I...
