3:45 Had the same happen in my 997 S Cab. Carpet R&R, foam deadening replacement, replace underseat electronics to the tune of $4k. If you take it for service, you need to ask and make sure they've cleaned the drains as it was overlooked in my case, contributing to the issue. Or just DIY as TDS has shown us👍! I now check it myself in my 987 S. Lesson learned! And one more reason not to park under trees--because dust/dirt, yeah, but leaf bits or bugs are the usual culprits to a clogged drain. Also, make sure your drain rail below the rear window is in its clips and the plastic side drain trays are spread up out over the mechanicals and "package shelf" (or, "subwoofer shelf"). All this can be seen with the roof part-way down in "service position".

Not exactly maintenance, but my 2015 Cayman PCM failed totally in 2022, just possibly because the car spent a lot of time unused but on a trickle charger. Research however suggests that all Porsche models , not just Caymans, in the 2014-2018 years are susceptible to this expensive failure , regardless of how the cars are used, but no admission of this from the factory.

Good tips, great video and thanks. Question... have you done a video on servicing the PDK as I'm keen to do this myself on my 981 Cayman. Is the Clutch fluid in with the PDK fluid or is it in with the Diff fluid? I think there is only 2 fluid types needed? Hope you can help me understand how Mr Porsche put this together. Not sure how often the previous owner used the Launch Control so a PDK fluid change is on my list to do.
@TDS9814 жыл бұрын
Hi Rob, thanks for watching. PDK servicing is probably something I would prefer to hand over to a professional, there is a quite a long interval on it anyway, 12yrs or 120k from factory. The service manual calls for using PIWIS software to put the car into a sort of refill mode. The pdk fluid and clutch fluid are independent of one another so yes only two fluids needed. Instead of changing the oil have you tried resetting the system, I found out about this information online, it should reset everything. Turn on the engine, turn off A/C and any other item like PCM and so on, and run engine for 3 minutes. Turn on A/C and wait with the engine idling for another 3 minutes. Turn off the engine, remove the key, close the drivers door and wait one minute. Restart the engine and the PDK sysyem is now reset to factory defaults. Good luck.
@rob70764 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the prompt reply to my questions. The only reason to change the PDK fluid was the unknown way my Cayman had been driven by the previous owner. Will do the reset procedure and see what, if any, difference it makes. Great cars and to me they seem to be built strong and reliable if maintained correctly. Please keep-up the videos, much appreciated and thank you again.

Hello, if the car has an intelligent charging system then the car needs to register that there is a new battery to adapt the level of charge from the alternator. Older batteries need more charging than new and if the car overcharges the new battery it could shorten it's life. Not all cars have this system but most modern cars work in this way.

This video doesn't encourage anyone to skip maintenance rather to perform some extra tasks on the side to keep the car looking and feeling good. The dealership will of course repair the problems for you but these tips are not usually part of their service routines. A warranty is available for anyone who would like to have a fixed cost for any potential repairs.

I have this exact same car, but cannot hear my indicators ticking, which I find a little frustrating. Is there a way to turn up their volume?

Hi Bradley, I'm not sure, maybe it can be coded, I guess they are quite quiet but then the flat 6 behind your head does tend to overshadow anything and everything 😀
