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.

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

Has anyone replaced their alternator on their 2008 cayman? I accidently blew mine by trying to replace a battery in the middle of the night. I've got the replacement alternator from Rareelectrical off of amazon that others had used here before. If it's an easy install I can do it myself but not sure if it's as difficult to remove as the early boxsters where. I called a independent shop but they will only install Bosch parts. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
