Bubbles in the heater core?


I know it's a bad time to do that in South Florida and maybe you did, but retry with the heater on.

Big difference.
You can get another 12"+++ with the jack stands and that extra height is the critical difference.
Ramps are not tall enough. That is why I said "Tall Jack stands".
I use these for my truck but the work well for this specific job on the Boxster:
12 Ton Steel Jack Stands
Don't forget to chock the front wheels really securely! And use two long frame jacks to get the car high enough to place the Tall Jack Stands. Alternatively I use two arms of my ultra sturdy Mohawk lift with the wheel adapters.
no mention of the additional 12 inches in your op, also my ramps worked great. Oh where did I get the idea to use RAMPS ....? 986 forum

Well that was embarassing. I cleaned the radiators and the cooling syztem works perfectly now. Oh well. Learned my lesson. Dont overlook the basics.

Good for you but as radiators must have been clogged to begin with. What prompted the WP R/R? Ovdrheating, Preventative? Just curious.

I bought the car with a leaking water pump.
