Problems:

Oil leaks

The 718 Cayman, like many high-performance vehicles, can suffer from oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets or the oil pan.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks can occur due to aging hoses or issues with the water pump, which can lead to engine overheating.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils may fail, causing misfires, rough idling, and reduced performance.

High-pressure fuel pump issues

The high-pressure fuel pump can fail, leading to poor engine performance and starting issues.

Exhaust system problems

The exhaust system, including the catalytic converter, can develop issues over time, impacting emissions and performance.

Turbocharger issues

If equipped with a turbocharger, there can be problems such as turbo lag, oil leaks, or even turbo failure.

Brake pad and rotor wear

Frequent high-performance driving can accelerate wear on brake pads and rotors, requiring more frequent replacements.

Suspension wear

Components in the suspension system, such as bushings and control arms, may wear out faster due to the sporty nature of the vehicle.

Battery drain

Electrical issues, including battery drain, can occur, especially if the vehicle is not driven regularly.

Clutch wear (manual transmission)

For models with a manual transmission, the clutch can wear out more quickly due to spirited driving.

Problems:

Brake fade

Overheating of the braking system can reduce its efficiency, especially under heavy use, which is critical for a performance car like the Porsche 718 Boxster.

Vacuum leaks

The turbocharged engine in the 718 Boxster relies on a tight vacuum system. Leaks can lead to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like the one in the 718 Boxster, can suffer from carbon deposits on intake valves, leading to poor performance and misfires.

Engine overheating

High-performance engines can sometimes suffer from overheating issues, especially if the cooling system is not maintained properly.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger in the 718 Boxster can experience wear and tear over time, potentially leading to reduced boost and performance issues.

Electrical problems

Modern vehicles, including the 718 Boxster, have complex electrical systems that can suffer from faults, leading to various issues such as starting problems or warning lights.

Oil leaks

Engine oil leaks are a common problem in many high-performance vehicles, including the Porsche 718 Boxster, which can lead to reduced engine lubrication and potential damage.

Suspension wear

The suspension components in a high-performance car like the 718 Boxster can wear out more quickly due to the stresses of spirited driving, leading to handling issues.
