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.

Suggestion
The driver has choices between: oil and water temps, with bar-graphs for them that change color with the temperatures being displayed; Oil temperature and oil pressure - both of interest if you track your car; and a simple digital display of water/oil temps and system voltage.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Looking to install an oil pressure gauge in a 987 Cayman . Looking for suggestions? It's non- sports chrono , so won't be replacing the clock

POST 2Original post

Ask and you shall receive.. https://www.planet-9.com/threads/pr...eads/preview-oil-water-temp-oil-pressure-system-voltage-coming-right-up.256257/ Much more than just oil pressure. What year Cayman are we talking about? The 9871. ('06-'08) have a limitation in not having an oil pressure sensor - but one could be installed in parallel with the existing idiot light switch to get this data onto the CanBus. When you have a chance, please visit https://www.planet-9.com/forums/new_members/ , introduce yourself to the forum, and introduce your Porsche. We LOVE pretty pictures, so some of your Porsche will be welcomed! Welcome to Planet-9, the Friendly Porsche Forum where instant answers aren't unusual..

That looks amazing. Am I by chance able to purchase it from somewhere? Couldn’t find that in the thread.

POST 4Original post

Try 997research.com - it's a bit hidden but you'll find it. If you have a 987.2 with the useless dash wart, he makes one to replace the useless stopwatch in the wart, or if you don't have the wart - the one I have - which is on the far left side of the dash works just dandy. The driver has choices between: oil and water temps, with bar-graphs for them that change color with the temperatures being displayed; Oil temperature and oil pressure - both of interest if you track your car; and a simple digital display of water/oil temps and system voltage. All the information is available on the CanBus it just needed a bit of genius to make use of it. And you'll be amazed at how much the water temperature dash gauge simply lies to the driver. About 130F-210F = displayed 175F. Just so you're happy and don't bug the dealers.

POST 5Original post

For a 987.1 that is not planned to be tracked, is the oil pressure additional "hack" really required? I won't be experieicing sustained high lateral g turning so shouldn't suffer from oil starvation.
