Can you work on a Porsche Cayman yourself?
Registered. I have both cayman(CR) and boxster(RS60) and I do work on both cars myself. The cayman is a little easier to work on if you need access to the top of the car (ie air filter, intake, plenum upgrade) cause you can sit in the trunk and do the work.

How much horsepower does a Porsche Cayman have?
The engine is central to any true sports car, and Porsche cooked up a good one in the Cayman S. Related to the engine in the fabled 911, the coupe’s 3.4-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder makes 295 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 251 pounds-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm.
Is the Cayman’s a good sports car?
While the Cayman S has more than enough power to offer respectable sports-car acceleration, it really shines on winding roads, where its mid-engine platform yields a coupe that’s incredibly balanced and planted through corners; it’s constantly encouraging you to push it harder and faster.

OK, so the larger four-cylinder found in the Cayman S isn’t great on gas, but it certainly helped liven up the drive. With 350 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque to play with, sprinting from traffic light to traffic light provided the reprieve necessary to tolerate the daily trudge across town.
What happens when AOS fails on Porsche Cayman?
Of course, once it fails completely, the resultant burning oil produces huge clouds of white smoke – this is fairly obvious. At that point, it is clear what needs to be done. However, replacing the AOS sooner rather than later can be a good precaution against other failures.
Why does my Porsche Cayman have a vacuum problem?
Crankcase vacuum exceeds the normal range in the engine under heavy acceleration and sucks in air damaging the rear main seal. This is commonly seen on Audi engines as well. A failing AOS also causes too much oil to pass into the intake and will force the engine management to adjust fuel mixtures to compensate.
