There is a bit of a laggy feel when variocam plus switches over at about that RPM. I don't recall any noises though. If you slowly bring the car up through 3000 RPM with the car in neutral - do you hear the same thing?

That is correct - my mistake :oops: I'll correct my earlier post.

Gently tap them with a plastic mallet. Sometimes they (or the vibration dampers) stick to the pistons.

Looks fine to me.

Model year, miles, 6 speed or Tip?

New Entry-Level Porsche Cayman To Make Summer Debut Same outstanding handling as Cayman S sibling at a sub-$50K sticker ATLANTA, May 22, 2006 – On the heels of the January’s much anticipated and highly successful launch of the new Cayman S, Porsche has announced an entry level Cayman geared to those who delight in the supreme handling dynamics which earned the Cayman S the 2006 World Performance Car title. Based on the award-winning Boxster, the new version of the mid-engined sports coupe is a more accessible version of the Cayman S, with a base price under $50,000 (under $70,000 in Canada). The Cayman brings legendary Porsche-coupe capabilities—with the same voluptuous styling of the Cayman S—to a new and lower price point. “2006 has already shown a string of record sales months, especially for our 911 series,” said Peter Schwarzenbauer, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. “With the exceptionally strong response we’ve had to the Cayman S, which has sold more than 3000 units in just over four months, the addition of this aggressively priced new Cayman model will bring our mid-engined range to similar record sales levels, further bolstering our core sports-car lineup.” The new Porsche Cayman is powered by a 2.7-liter six-cylinder Boxer engine producing 245 horsepower. Thanks to the Porsche VarioCam® Plus system, the Cayman provides a broad spread of usable power, with a plateau of torque peaking at 201 foot-pounds between 4,600 and 6,000 revs. With a manual transmission, the responsive engine is capable of propelling the new Cayman from a standstill to 60 mph in only 5.8 seconds (0-100 km/h, 6.1 sec.). The performance carries through to a top test-track speed of 160 mph (258 km/h). Proof that outstanding performance statistics do not necessarily mean high fuel consumption, the Cayman is rated at an impressive 23/32 mpg city/highway. Power is routed from the Cayman’s flexible powerplant via a standard five-speed manual transmission with short, precise shift throws. Porsche will also offer the well-known Tiptronic® S five-speed automatic transmission. The Tiptronic S provides rocker switches for shifting in the steering-wheel spokes, for those who seek a more engaging driving experience. As a third transmission variant, a six-speed manual transmission, available in conjunction with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM®) system, is optional. The PASM system automatically adapts the shock-absorber system to the particular driving situation, and allows the driver to choose between “Normal” and “Sport” programs by pressing a button on the center console. The Cayman rides on 17-inch light-alloy wheels boasting a unique, double-spoke design. Front tires are 205/55-17’s fitted on 6.5-inch wide rims; the combination at the rear is 235/50-17 tires on 8-inch-wide rims. With the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system fitted as standard equipment, the taut chassis makes an responsive and involving partner in terms of driving dynamics and active safety. Other special features of the Cayman are black brake calipers, black front-spoiler lips, a titanium-colored logo on the rear deck and a trapezoidal tailpipe. The impressive interior boasts a comprehensive range of standard features including air-conditioning, radio/CD player, seats covered in luxurious Alcantara leather, black-faced instrument dials, and door-entry trim embossed with the Cayman logo. Because of the mid-engine concept, the Cayman boasts two trunks, with a combined volume of 14.5 cubic feet (410 liters), highlighting the sport coupe’s supreme practicality. In addition to the two full-size occupant airbags, the Cayman is also fitted as standard equipment with the ingenious Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP), which features both a chest and head airbag on each side of the vehicle, providing impressive protection in the event of a side collision. The Porsche Cayman goes on sale in North America July 29, 2006. Pricing for the new model in the U.S. and Canada is $49,400 (USD) and $69,600 (CAD). Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

Can we see a picture of where the leak is? It sounds like a cam cover or exhaust gasket.

That does not sound like it is much above normal. I would check for debris in front of your radiators. I'd also check that your coolant tank cap part number ends in 01 (you want to replace any cap that ens in 00 as they leak). And, finally I'd look for a small leak around the tank or from the hoses under the car.

Do a little more research here and consider the possibility the cap is leaking. If your blue cap part number ends in 01 you have the newer cap that does not leak (at least rarely). If the cap part number ends in 00 then you need to replace the cap (weather the tank is leaking or not). If not the cap then check the hose on the bottom side of the end and near the tank on that side of the car. Finally if all hose look good then you likely need to do a tank replacement - about 1.5 hours average. There is a DIY in the DIY 996 Common Fixes forum. Good Luck!

... or any independent shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

:welcome: No, for a MY2003 car you will need a MOST (fiber optic) compatible CD changer. The Porsche designation is CDC-4. You occasionally see them on eBay.

1 liter will be more than enough.

If all the couplings are tight then it is likely a broken weld. Unfortunately this has happened a few times.

You need to figure out if the noise is in the sunroof or headliner or even the A,B , or C pillars. There are 4 TSBs on noises in the sunroof. I suggest you start by reading the TSBs and seeing if any of them describe your problem. 12a/98 6014 New Sunroof Drive Motor 5/01 6028 Noises from the New Style Sunroof Frame 1/03 6028 Tilting/Sliding Roof Noises 12/98 6040 Work on the Sliding Roof

The M96 flywheel is 8 bolts the GT3/TT/GT2 flywheel is 9 bolts.

Check for a P0102 fault. P0102 is the same error you will get if the MAF is unplugged. This can also cause ABS and PSM lights to come on as the DME is not sensing the PSM data and combining it with the throttle position and mass air flow readings. Second possibility is a (intermittent) bad wheel sensor. A shop with a PST2 could test that for you.

Not to my knowledge. You might try Eric the Plug Guy at bumperplugs.com

These are the only colors available as May 2006 PET (have the dealer look in the Carrera section as they don't show in TT). 996 552 096 01 A03 SHELF-BLACK LAQ -- MSRP $46.00 996 552 096 01 C02 CONSOLE SHELF-METAL -- MSRP$46.00 996 552 096 01 D05 CONSOLE SHELF-GRANITE GREY -- MSRP $46.00

Sounds like a bad ignition switch to me... There are lots of posts on that here as well as a DIY to replace it.
