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.

POST 1Original post

Hi, I have a 2006 Cayman S with only 19k miles. My engine management light came on the other day. Following visit to Porsche Dealer i have been told the slip ring at the end of the camshaft has come loose and they will need to replace camshaft. I have been quoted £2500 to fix (new camshaft + 10 hours labour!) They have raised a good gesture case and reduced to £1800 (reduced replacement camshaft by 70%). This is my first Porsche and disappointed the camshaft is faulty after 19k miles. Is this a common problem?? I am calling customer servcies tomorrow to see if they will discount the labour. Any thougts??

POST 2Original post

Sorry to hear this, and, No, this is not common at all. If, in the end, you don't get enough assistance from Porsche, I'm sure a good independent shop could do it for a lot less. Good luck!

POST 3Original post

What were the symptoms aside from the warning light? Ticking, Rattling or scraping??

POST 4Original post

Hi, No rattle and car appeared to drive fine. Any thought son what if can be? I have called Porsche customer services and they wont budge on discount level. I' really disappointed as a camshaft should not go faulty in a high performance car after 19k miles (which is not driven hard) They have offered 70% off the part. Will i be able to take part and just get done at an Independent?

POST 5Original post

Why is this not covered under warranty? You didn't cause the problem.

POST 6Original post

He is from the UK, and IIRC they don't have a 4-year warrenty like we do in the states.

POST 7Original post

That's exactly what I would do - assuming the car isn't under warranty, and Porsche won't cover a significant portion of the labor.

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