Spanky
Car is an '06 base Boxster with 45k miles. My indie replaced the water pump about 2000 miles and four months ago. This morning I get "low coolant" warning message. I'm pretty fastidious about the car and I've never seen any liquids underneath it. I'm thinking I should start by topping-up the coolant and replacing the reservoir cap with a brand new one.
I read Pedro's notes about OAT coolant, so I know I can find proper coolant without visiting the Porsche store... my next question is can I buy a new cap at Autozone, or do I need to drive to the inconvenient dealer to get the cap?

Good idea, Gman.
As I recall, last time I changed my coolant, I had to add a bit more a week or so later, after a small amount of air had worked its way through the system. All was good after that.
When my cap acted up, there was occasionally vapor on the rear trunk lid, above the coolant cap. That was a sign. The new cap was a relatively inexpensive and happy fix.
Replace the cap. If you want to.... MarcW - 9 years ago |
