PASM Fault?
Is anyone else having similar problems? (I've already seen the messages in the Boxster Forum).

I'm having problems with PASM equipped Cayman S. My suspension seems to be very firm even in normal mode, but car is very susceptible to cross-winds and doesn't feel 'planted' mid corner, and has occasionally lurched sideways on the motorway. I'm taking it back to my OPC tomorrow to see what they have to say.

Porsche Chiswick and Porsche Exeter have both driven the car and insist that there's nothing wrong. As ride is subjective it looks as though I'm just going to have to live with it.
Perhaps I was just expecting too much from the PASM system, but I'm disappointed that a Cayman S with PASM in normal mode is so much harder riding than my mk.1 Boxster S was.
I've also driven an normally suspended Cayman S which was much softer than my car.
I'm not convinced that my car is right, but there doesn't seem to be much more I can do.

From what I have read on here Porsche Centre Exeter should be avoided like the plague.

They have been better since my last visit, and to give them their due, have actually offered to swap components from a car in stock to try to trace the fault.

My car is now going back to Porsche GB at Reading. I'll post up the results here when I hear back. If they still don't agree that there's a fault then I'll either sell the car, or pay for a new PASM control unit myself. Neither is an option that I'm particularly keen on.

Good luck! Have you been advised on the cost of a control-unit replacement?

Simple solution - sell the PASM car. Get a 997 coupe with normal or -20mm sports suspension. Nothing can beat a conventionally sprung car. I'm sure there isn't an enormous price difference between a Cayman S and a 997.
