The 2012 Porsche Cayman is known to potentially experience oil leaks due to worn-out gaskets or seals, which can lead to oil dripping and engine inefficiency.

This model may suffer from ignition coil issues, which can cause misfires, poor engine performance, and reduced fuel efficiency.

The cooling system, including components like the water pump and thermostat, may fail, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

The timing chain tensioner may experience wear, leading to a rattling noise on startup and potential timing issues if not addressed.

Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, rough idling, and increased emissions.

Vacuum leaks can occur in the intake manifold or other components, leading to rough idling, stalling, and poor fuel economy.

Commonly occur around the rear main seal, valve covers, and oil pan, leading to oil spots under the vehicle and possibly lower oil levels.

Can cause misfires, rough idling, and a decrease in engine performance, often requiring replacement.

Typically occur at the water pump, hoses, or radiator, leading to engine overheating and possible engine damage if not addressed.

A faulty Mass Air Flow sensor can cause poor fuel economy, rough idling, and stalling.

Intermediate Shaft bearing failure can lead to catastrophic engine damage if not replaced or upgraded.

Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon deposits on intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.

Faulty oxygen sensors can cause poor fuel economy and increased emissions, often triggering the check engine light.

Can lead to noisy engine operation and potential timing chain failure, which can cause severe engine damage.
