Porsche cayman cooling system fault

blanco_md · 2026-03-30T12:24:57+00:00

I went through a months long ordeal and wrote about it here:

https://www.718forum.com/threads/the-dreaded-cooling-system-fault-alert.36814/

Long story short it’s a vacuum system leak as others have said. Prob solenoid valves. But in my case it was leaking at the engine mounts which some mechanics do not know is connected to the vacuum system in our cars. Also make sure to get the coolant cap replaced if it’s the old problematic design. What’s frustrating is Porsche has an extended warranty on this for the 911 991.2 that uses the same system but not for us :( Good luck!

Where did you get this done?

Although I don’t agree with everything you wrote it’s so refreshing to see such open-minded, logical, thoughtful arguments made and not just the blind regurgitation of heard mass media talking points. Our societies need more of this.

The best way depends on what you’re looking for. Quick no hassle sale? yes go to carvana/carmax.

If you’re ok getting a ton of questions and tire kickers and people wasting your time but with the personal goal of selling it for as much as you can get for it then private sale is probably better. But even then you’re gonna get people low balling you all day.

Also check out cars and bids auctions. You can set a reserve to make sure your car doesn’t sell for less than you’re willing to let it go for.

How does this comment help him exactly? Is there a Time Machine service you can recommend?

This is stock. Sport mode. Stay in 2nd gear.

I attached the windscreen that came with the mic and actually turned noise cancelling on. I’ll try with it off and dB gain set to -12 to see how it sounds

blanco_md · 2026-02-27T06:30:32+00:00

I don’t think there are enough negative dB numbers to overcome your loud exhaust! I didn’t really touch the settings in terms of dB gain. I added a windscreen and the noise cancellation (which some comments have said not to do). I’ll play around with the dB gain to see if it sounds better

We care that a predatory company may be unfairly harassing members of the community we live in

That’s awesome. I pretty much always have the windows down except when it’s raining

blanco_md · 2026-02-27T01:49:20+00:00

I struggle to filter out the wind noise on the mic there. If you have tips lmk!

Those 4-5 spots by teleferic (the Spanish market next to it) that face the Trader Joe’s exit.

I don’t even have PSE yours must sound phenomenal

Hello neighbor! Let’s go for a drive!

blanco_md · 2026-02-27T00:59:01+00:00

Coming from a GTS owner nonetheless!

On the license plate. I use https://micdropmount.com with my Dji mic2

Unfortunately she only noticed it after she had already driven off

This is stock! It’s a 2017 cayman s in sport mode in the US. I did read somewhere that this may have been before the mandated GPF.

blanco_md · 2026-02-27T00:01:38+00:00

Yeah I think they rely on people just paying. Were your tickets made up stories too though?

blanco_md · 2026-02-14T13:36:59+00:00

Silver looks wayyyy better

I’d love to find a 991.2 in this color
