So, we got some weather here is central virginia this week. Over 8" of snow and power is still out at out house. It got down to 6 degrees last night, so of course I had to see how the Boxster liked the cold weather. Car started up fine even with my lightweigh battery at 7F this morning. I let it warm up for about 10 minutes before I took it for a drive. When I drove it there was a noticable sound from the engine compartment like fluid trickling down or arround.
The engine was at operating temp, and I looked to see if I was leaving a trail of coolant behind me, and did not see any. No warning lights, and normal operating temp. This is the first time I have heard this, and I suspect it is an artifact of the very cold weather. Anyone else had this experience or know what could be going on? BTW, the inner-cooler effect of 7F air does make the car more spunky,
