Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

...went in to my trusted independent tech shop today for the two-year brake fluid change (ATE Super Blue). He called me to look at my '06 Cayman's front brakes..pads are worn out, AND there is some apparent scoring or surface deformity of the rotors, AND the brake pad sensors have been pulled out of their normal position so they don't function. I bought this CS one year ago with only 4700 mi.; it now has only 7000 mi. and has been driven very conservatively (by me, anyway). Likely scenario: previous owner (frequents this site) must have tracked the car and sustained some serious heat damage to the brakes. Suggested fix: new pads, plus trying to resurface the rotors. If that doesn't work, new rotors @ $160 per...good reason to get a pre-purchase inspection!

POST 2Original post

My :2cents: get the new rotors if it's marginal on the resurfacing.

POST 3Original post

As we have discussed before Porsche (and others) consider these to be expendable parts. All of us will face that expense if we keep our cars so consider it part of the cost of ownership just like tire replacement. Good point about checking before buying so you know better what is coming when. An edit to say that this seems early so you may want to have a Porsche dealer give a second opinion.

POST 4Original post

Nice to know that they're cheaper than the rotors on my Audi ; ) You do have to look at the wear and tear stuff. Lesson learned.

POST 5Original post

You didn't get a PPI (pre-purchase inspection)? Did the seller misrepresent the condition of those wear items?
