Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had made an appointment to view a 2006 Cayman 3.4S when the owner, a Trader, informed me although the car has FPSH and just 57K, it has a bore scoring problem which needs to be addressed - hence the price of £13995. I started some research so went here ..... http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/used-reviews/porsche... This reveals nothing at all goes wrong with the first generation Cayman. I then, amongst others, tried this thank goodness, Thank-you Pistonheads ..... http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyI... So, apart from Parkers Guide completely missing the obvious well recognised and documented issues, am I right in thinking I have to get a facelift 2009 to overcome this and the IMS Bearing and RMS (rear main seal) Not sure I can stretch to a 2009 car is the main problem.

POST 2Original post

Save up until you can afford a gen 2. If you can't afford it now then you can't afford to repair a knackered gen 1.

POST 3Original post

loads of people run gen 1 cars and they are great , I ran one for 2 years with no issues. great value for money cars.

POST 4Original post

My gen1 was fine. Apart from the incessant rattles.

POST 5Original post

anonymous said: [redacted] If on a budget go for a post 2006 2.7 as revised ims and the bores are the least likely to score! Also the 2006 3.2 boxster engine is also quiet robust to bore scoring but said engine not in acayman Otherwise save up for a gen2
