I just bought a new cap from the dealer couple months ago and the cap number ended with 01 so should I bring it back? Is the 03 cap for newer Boxster 987 or for both? I can still smell a little bit of coolant in the heat vent but not as bad as before.

Can someone post the link to a good Coolant Flush DIY? I think i'm going to attempt it over the weekend. I just got my water pump replaced after leaking coolant but they didn't flush and replace the coolant and my levels are way below the MIN mark. I just bought the 03 cap but wanted to find out more about the bleeding.

Check out Pedro's website...seems he's got the best DIY write-ups.

I'd like to install the LN low temp t-stat and renew my 7 year old coolant at the same time...just need to figure out how/where to dispose of the old coolant.
