I think my heater core/exchanger maybe going bad. It doesn't get very hot even on the highest setting. The blower blows strong. I have a 99' Boxster. I noticed this today. I fiddled with turning it up all the way to hi and full blast, i tried re-circulating, turning on the AC, turned it off then back one, i pretty much tried every setting to see if any of them made a difference. No difference, it just doesn't get very hot.

Anyone know of anything else that may be causing this? The part itself: Heat Exchanger, 996 572 129 DD doesn't look too complicated, and I think I could do it myself, but am curious if anyone else has ever attempted it.

Richard, can you recommend a good independent mechanic to service my Boxster?I don't really care to go to the dealer since my car is out of warranty.

Thanks,
Larez2
