For my inconvenience in being without my Cayman for 3 weeks and 2 days. PCNA sending voucher for $1k for parts, service, etc. from any Porsche dealer. Well done Porsche. Very pleased.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Well, after 2 days and about 400 miles, WE'RE GOOD. No more issues. The tech explained why the DME failed but honestly it all sounded Greek to me. What I do remember him saying is that there was a "driver failure" and it was intermittent. He said the DME alone (just the part) cost $7,000.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
So far so good guys. Heading on a 300 mile road trip today so I'll have a full update later, including quotes from the service records.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Service manager called early evening Friday, breathless, happy to report that we're good! He drove the Cayman about 80 miles. Stopped it, Started it, And no light! Picking it up about 9:30 this morning. After 3 weeks and 2 days, I feel like I'm getting a new Cayman all over again. Will update later todayby YoungTurk - Main Forum

Well this tempers my optimism which I guess is good.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
True, but Porsche had the dealer rule out wiring as the cause (which it did) before agreeing to replace the DME.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Pedro - how do you feel about today's news that Porsche has approved replacing the DME? With other potential causes ruled out (O2 sensor, wiring, reprogramming the DME), will a new DME finally fix it in your opinion? My understanding they don't have another 2011 Cayman that they can pull the DME out of, and test. Look forward to your thoughts.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Service Manager just called first thing this morning, with the "good news" that Porsche has approved replacing the DME. I asked if there was one stateside. Yes, there was, with ETA at dealership tomorrow, exactly three weeks from date my Cayman was first towed from my home. Asked service manager if this was it, if replacing the DME would resolve my issue. Said yes, he has "every trust" that it wiby YoungTurk - Main Forum
Porsche Customer Commitment said Porsche "wanted to compensate me" for all my trouble once my car is fixed. What do you think that compensation will be?by YoungTurk - Main Forum

The Cayman is my daily driver. Has not sat idle or unused for longer than a day.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Only recent service was o/f change at 40k. Was going to do 40k service at 50k.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
"Fuse holder, fuse, connections and splice junctions all good. Currently reprogramming DME computer. Porsche is closed today stateside." What do you guys think? What does reprogramming the DME do?by YoungTurk - Main Forum
That is correct. They chalked up the first failure to a part failure - a bad o2 sensor.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Thanks for that tip. Pardon my ignorance, but what does MAF stand for?by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Pedro (and others): if you would, please take a look at the link below for the problems I'm having with my 2011 Cayman. Let me know what you think is going on. Thanks,by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Pedro - what's a reasonable cost for 40k service on 2011 Base Cayman with PDK?by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Looks good. Where did you get the RS 60 tailpipe, and how much did you pay?by YoungTurk - Main Forum

Thrilled with my Carnewal GT Exhaust on my 2011 PDK Cayman. Next mod - the Porsche Sport mode software (@$1300) or the Sprint Booster (@$300). Thoughts?by YoungTurk - Main Forum
Details and pics to follow. In a word, it's already my favorite Porsche. Great to be back in a Porsche, and back on this board and PorschePete's before it.by YoungTurk - Main Forum
