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.

Porsche quoted £200 for the CV joint (think this is their error and is the inner) but on another forum I think someone replaced the entire assembly, that is where my confusion is coming from.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've got a leak from my driveshaft outer CV casing (not the boot), drivers (RH) side on my manual 2010 Cayman S. From doing a bit of googling I see others have had this issue. One says they got it refurbished, another warranty replaced it and another got a S/H replacement. Any advice on where to get a replacement or refurbishment? Porsche quoted £200 for the CV joint (think this is their error and is the inner) but on another forum I think someone replaced the entire assembly, that is where my confusion is coming from. Image below taken from google so apologies if this is your image/car. Thanks in advance, Duncan. Edited by dunc_sx on Monday 10th May 11:57

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Porsche have now confirmed they can't provide the outer CV, so I'm looking for a refurbishment or S/H drive shaft assembly. Anyone carry spares? It's not too far from a grand from Porsche Thanks, Duncan.
