Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil leaks

The 2009 Porsche Cayman is known to develop oil leaks, particularly from the rear main seal and the intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing.

Ims bearing failure

The intermediate shaft bearing can fail, leading to catastrophic engine damage if not addressed.

Coolant leaks

Issues with the coolant system, such as leaks from the water pump or the coolant reservoir, are common.

Engine misfires

Misfires can occur due to faulty ignition coils or spark plugs, often leading to rough running or a check engine light.

Air-oil separator failure

The air-oil separator can fail, causing oil to enter the intake system and leading to smoke from the exhaust.

High oil consumption

Some 2009 Porsche Caymans experience higher-than-normal oil consumption, which may require more frequent top-offs.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum leaks can develop in the intake system, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Timing chain tensioner failure

The timing chain tensioner can wear out or fail, causing noise or even engine damage if not replaced in time.
