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.

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

POST 1Original post

Need Swirl pot part #’S With my first track day coming up in the 06 Cayman S I have been researching oil issues and plan on doing it all…but one step at a time. This time I’m going to install a deep sump, next track day I’ll do an AOS or something. I have a deep sump on order and plan on installing before the car hits the track. Seem like a good time to upgrade to 997 swirl pots while I’m in there. The problem is even though they are talked about it about a 100 threads I can’t find a part #, or a source, or cost anywhere. Maybe I’m having a bad internet day but I’ve been searching for over an hour I haven’t found squat. Can someone help? :wall::wall::wall:

subscribing to this thread. Same here, I couldn't find the swirl pot part number ... and don't even know what it looks like!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. When ever I ask a question like that I'm afraid the whole forum is going to do collective forehead slap and say 'what a dummy'. here's a picture I found on Pelican about deep sumps. Swirl pots are the black canister looking things. link to the article Pelican Parts - European Automotive Parts and Accessories - Porsche • BMW • Mercedes • Volkswagen • Audi • Saab • Volvo • MINI

POST 6Original post

They are used on the 996, 997 and the boxter engines, just not on the Cayman engines. Porsche part number is 996 107 080 54 and about £32.00 each in UK.

POST 7Original post

Probably the single biggest reason you hear about more Cayman engines going bang than Boxter engines. Nobody have been able to give me a good reason why Porsche decided to change that part on the Cayman engines and continue fitting the older better part on all other models.

POST 8Original post

I have installed a catch tank between the standards AOS and the inlet manifold. Much cheaper than the motorsport AOS and very easy to do if it's a track car.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
