I jumped in my CS and turned on the A/C and drove about 20 feet when I started to hear a loud hissing sound. It took a second until I started to see white "smoke" coming from the in front of the windsheild. I pulled over and popped the trunk, removed the plastic battery cover and there was freon spraying everywhere! When it stopped I drove the car home and for the first mile I was getting freon out of dash vents! Obviously the A/C no longer blew cold air. Not fun with black on black during a Charlotte 95 degree heat wave. Funny thing is I am pretty sure I jinxed myself. One hour before this happenend I told my wife how happy I am with our first Porsche, it was everything that we expected as far as quality and fun. (I owned an Audi before this and it was the biggest pile of **** I have ever owned)

I made an appointment for repair and the dealer replaced the high pressure switch for the A/C and an o-ring. While she was in for the service I had the hatch "thunk" repair done as well. Now I'm back in business and loving this car. Hopefully, she will stay out of the shop for a little while.

The work was done at Hendrick and for my money Scott White is best service manager I have ever dealt with. Also, if anyone is in the market for a new Cayman, Hendrick has a gorgeous black CS in the showroom with the aero package, turbo wheels, painted center console and the sport chorno. It is the one of the best looking Cayman's that I have seen yet.

Glad it's back on the road and you are back in love with the car.

i recently purchased a used Cayman and noticed that there were signs of white stains on the dash near where the dashboard air vets are located. It is easily removable, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me what it could've been.

hearing your story definitely shed some light on the situation. glad to hear your car is up and running once again. cheers
