I checked "Trunk Clunk" but I hardly pay any attention to it any more.
Leading evidence: 'Check "trunk clunk"' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'door adjustment' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check "trunk clunk"' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

The dealer replaced the compressor and belt with no problems since 8/06.

Suspected cause
I pull over, close the door again and the noise is gone so I wonder if your problem is a door adjustment.
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.

Outcome without a verified action link
I am waiting until the first service to get it fixed
I had the trunk clunk (19's without
PASM
) till I got PSS9's.
The "other" items included a cosmetically defective airbag cover on the steering wheel and a bad/faded window trim piece.
Great idea for a poll. You should add a none option though. I also wish there was a way to indicate a mileage range, so we know of prevalence by mileage.
My car's got 541 miles on it now, so not too surprisingly, the answer's "none" (knock on wood).
Well, 15K miles and.....none. Not a single thing. Not in summer, fall, or horrifying winter as a daily driver. Not a single, solitary problem. Keeps me looking smug, actually.
My black/black '07 CS has marks in the paint from the shipping tape. I'm no detailer but I know that this was not just leftover adhesive that could be removed with a little mineral spirits. I've had it back to the dealer twice and every time I get the car back it looks worse than it did when I droped it off. This last time it appears they polished the top and dragged a power cord or air hose across the rear bumper. So now I have tape marks
and
scratches!
So far at 24,000 miles; Power Steering line/seal failure (twice), Leaking engine cam cover (driver's side), Leaking driver's door inner pannel (carpet trim at bottom of door soaked after rain) and low tone horn failure.
8 months old 8,500 miles. Switch on air con unit died releasing all the gas. It came out in a cloud from under the bonnet and looked like an engine boiling up. Pretty weird sight considering where the engine is.
All sorted by Porsche Assist though.

The A/C compressor seized up the first day and tossed the belt. The dealer replaced the compressor and belt with no problems since 8/06. I did get to drive an S for 4 days while waiting for the parts to arrive.
I checked "other." The only real problems I've had are the tire pressure monitor reads a bit high - so I'm a little overinflated to prevent warnings (Dealer says it's fine!), and the dor window film issue sometimes dicussed here.
Those that track their cars may have a problem with the power steering unless they get the underdrive pulley. At high rpms the
power steering pump
simply turns too fast, creating overpressure and leaks, which will also lead to failure of the ps pump. This happened to me and a number of others who track their cars.
Problems with your Cayamn
Only a minor cosmetic annoyance, the foam/seal around the rear center break light has come loose and is kinda hanging there. If I was'nt so anal about the little details it wouldn't bother me.
I'm having the oil changed in April and I'll have them look at the brake light.
Nearest Porsche dealer is in Reno, Nevada 168 mile from me

Upon delivery I noticed my brake light seal was hanging loose and had it fixed the next time I was at the dealer. Service advisor said it was a common occurrence.
Every once in a while I have this problem when I don't fully shut the door. The door seems to be shut but there is wind noise. I pull over, close the door again and the noise is gone so I wonder if your problem is a door adjustment.
Last week my response would have been "no problems to report in 4700 miles, thank you." Unfortunately the radio (non
Bose
with CD changer) decided to go on vacation right after visiting the dealer for the one year oil change. I'm going to try the DIY fixes documented on this site (turn the radio on/off multiple times, swithch between the CDC and FM band multiple times, turn ignition on/off multiple times...) hoping that will rectify things...
