schlomo Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 hello....new here. i'm looking to swap my 440i for a cayman S gen2 so doing all the usual research before hand. Does anyone know where i can find the technical manual for the car? the one that porsche dealers would use. for e.g. i have and use the technical servicing manuals for my bm via the workshop interface + has full details about which items get serviced, at what intervals etc... this is so when i go and check out a used car i know exactly what should have been done and what items needed to be serviced and when. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkGTS Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Can't help with the workshop manual I'm afraid, but generally the Caymans, Boxsters and Carreras are all very similar in their service schedule requirements. To be honest, it's the wear and tear items you want to check really, suspension and radiators/condensers being the more costly items. – 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Porsche 911 (997.2) Carrera / Carrera S, 4, 4S (NOT for 997.1 versions neither for 997.2 GT3, GT2 and Turbo) – 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Porsche Boxster/Cayman normal and S models (987 and 987c) Oil Change Every 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or 1 year Minor Maintenance Checklist (after 20,000, 60,000, 100,000, 140,000 miles / 30,000, 90,000, 150,000, 210,000 kms) or 2, 6, 10, etc.. years: – Diagnosis system: Read fault memory; reset maintenance interval – Change engine oil and oil filter (Every 10,000 miles/15,000 km) – Vehicle underside and engine compartment: Visual inspection for leaks (oils and fluids) and abrasion (lines and hoses); Underbody panels: visual inspection for completeness, secure installation and damage – Coolant hoses: Check condition.

GlosRich Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Some links for you: https://www.planet-9.com/ Good parts viewer here: https://www.rosepassion.com/en?gclid=CjwKCAjwsO_4BRBBEiwAyagRTWwJfCPVqYl6fi83Q9pdt-In1cdeMgSXRpPX11XCo6nr0wGGhzGTChoC3e4QAvD_BwE Porsche parts catalogue https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/classic/genuineparts/originalpartscatalogue/ I doubt you'll find the service manuals for free. Only on some dodgy torrent site with a load of viruses. They're not as freely available as the BMW ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banjo Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 i have the 981 factory workshop manual which i think i uploaded from planet9,its over 6000 pages so can be a mare trying to navigate. there is a facebook page "987.1 porsche cayman shop manual information" for the 1st gen cayman which would help you with certain things which are common on the gen and gen2.
