So, I've had a 99 and an 03. 99 was manual. 03 was auto. 03 was a better car in about every way, likely because it had 30k fewer miles, but except for having to replace rear wheel bearings, was flawless. So Im wanting to get back into a boxster after own a 911 convertible. I know the IMS is the biggest deal for most people (but my 99 911 had the intermix that was 'repaired', then later bby chamilun - Main Forum
oh my. another "engineer"... seriously, unless you work in the auto business designing cars and specifically car engines, you are just tinkering. Dont be offended if someone says youre "monkeying around"by chamilun - Main Forum
I would add some kseal to the coolant. +1 on Pedros recommendation: check the heat exchangerby chamilun - Main Forum
for me, the main issue is why it was posted in so many places? To what end? Its just strange. I also think a quick reveal of the customer to Pedro would shore up whether in fact it was his product, who did the install, etc etc fun stuff thoby chamilun - Main Forum
good thing they post it in as many places as possible..hmmmmby chamilun - Main Forum
oh, and they dont usually come with a cap, despite what above poster said. My leak ended up being the cap, so check that first.by chamilun - Main Forum
I've got a new one that I never installed if youd like to buy it (a coolant tank that is. fits 03, so Im not sure if correct for 00by chamilun - Main Forum
Update took a close look at the expansion tank, and noticed right away it wasn't terribly yellowed like many of the failures Ive seen posted online. The rear deck was dry also... Stuck a paper towel under it and ran for a while, and found no dampness whatsover. At this point, Im thinking the worst ie failed head gasket, but was puzzled as didn't see any signs in the coolant tank or with the diby chamilun - Main Forum
all fans are operating correctly. I thought about getting a pressure tester over the weekend from HF and see what happens, but Im gonna take a more simple approach. run the car to temperature, then slide a paper towel under the expansion tank. if it gets soaked after the cool-down process, I think that should confirm what I believe to be the problem: expansion tank. right now the door is alby chamilun - Main Forum
wow. thanks for all the help guys. Ill update once I try the culprit. (interesting comment about the expansion tank heating & cooling allowing for leaks to occur at different times. )by chamilun - Main Forum
So about 6 months ago, had a blinking temp light. Found out was low on coolant. Topped off, and away it went. Yesterday, wife is driving car and calls and says that temp light was blinking, and oil light was turning on and off. I pickup the car, and the temp is slowly climbing, and finally gets into the red. So I pull over, allow the car to cool, add 1 gallon of water, and drive another 10 mby chamilun - Main Forum
I test drove a 99 with the GAHH glass top and felt a bit like I was in a tomb with the glass being so small. Thats why inserting glass within the plastic seems like something that may work. anyone who can measure where the glass needs to go and what size (ie from a current GAHH) thanks in advanceby chamilun - Main Forum
First post. Long-time 911 SC owner, recently purchased 99 Boxster My car has a navy GAHH soft top and the plastic has somewhat poor visibility. Has anyone attempted to install a glass window within the plastic? Meaning take something like this (wrong dimensions I know) Cut out the plastic, and glue this inside the plastic. Good idea? Bad idea? I figure worst case scenario I either replaby chamilun - Main Forum
