Porsche Cayman parts reviews

I recently changed all the spark plugs and coils.

Just had mine done recently on a 2014 CS MT, drive belt was the only 60k specific item, and honestly the old belt they pulled out looked almost new

Continental DWS 06+ I have them on a Porsche Cayman and they are fantastic in all 4 seasons.

My 981 Cayman is very maintenance friendly. I’ve done oil, transaxle oil, spark plugs (tight space but doable), brakes, etc. It is quite a bit easier than the 718 since you have to remove underpanels to gain access to the underside of engine/transaxle.

My loyalties lie with Michelin at this point after 10+ years of Pilot Sport variations on 4 different cars. Being in South FL wet weather traction is important, and the only tire I've driven on that has matched the PS's are the Goodyear Eagle F1 DSg3 that was OE for the GLI, and the current OE spec Goodyear AS2 F1 (something like that) that came on the Cayman but are soon to be replaced with PS4's. Personally, just get the michelins and be done with it. I think the AS4 have a higher treadwear rating, and are slightly less grippy than the PS4, so that may be better for your use case as far as getting more life and having a bit more fun are concerned.

Pagid is decent, I used them on my Cayman and it's survived 20 Laps of the Nurburgring and a track day.

Yuasa are high quality. I generally get Bosch S4 or S5 as they've never let me down.

I've looked online to see what the front brake pads and discs for my 987.1 Cayman S cost. Brake discs from Brembo cost 103 euros each and a set (4 pieces) of brake pads, also from Brembo, costs 65 euros, so in total the material costs 270 euros.

Auto AC compressor with slow leak was replaced with a new Nissens unit. New drier installed, system properly evacuated and charged with factory 134a fill. System tested perfectly. Shortly thereafter, AC non-operable. Static pressure still tests fine, but compressor doesn’t kick on when called. Visual inspection reveals clutch cover missing along with one of six rubber inserts

I used the middle one on an old 200,000KM Porsche Cayman S that was burning oil. It made it worse, smoke started coming out of the engine when the oil cap was off and I felt like the engine would soon die.
