Cayman Engine Failures

[Chrisp5782]

I've spent some time on the US Porsche Cayman forums (planet 9 mainly) and all I ever seem to read about are engine failures - IMS, bore scoring, over heating, rod failures and other issues.

I've had three Porsches now, 944, Boxster and currently an '07 2.7 Cayman. All my cars have run perfectly and only ever needed normal maintenance.

I'm interested to know if instances of failure in the UK market are as high as they seem to be in the states. Has anyone had a failure of this type and if so on what model and year?

I'm not worried about any of these issues but it'd be interesting to know.

I suspect there have been failures reported that have been falsely diagnosed?

The 2.7 Cayman is allegedly the strong one. The issue seem to be with the pre-DFI Cayman S models mainly.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I understand it.
