Hello,
Hope everyone is well. Just picked up a gorgeous 2002 Porsche Boxster S, super low miles, and have issues to sort out before enjoying her. It's been bothering me dearly. I hope you guys can help me. I've done some research, but would love a confirmation.
I've been having moisture over-spray in the coolant area in the trunk. I read many threads, and saw that the caps were faulty. Currently have a cap with a ending in 447.01. I assume this is one of the older model caps? What's the latest cap that keeps pressure, and also doesn't allow overflow?
Today, right in the morning, I noticed that my temperature was higher than usual, above the 180 area. After some driving, and a lot of stop and go traffic, the Temperature Gauge blinker came on, and so did the "Check Coolant Level"
I've taken some pictures, to show today's events. I added some distilled water to the coolant, but noticed the gauge temperature is still above the 180 area which is bothering me.
1. Driving Home (At Night, "Check Coolant Level" Came On + Temp Gauge Warning)
2. Arrived Home - Added Distilled water to Coolant Area. Turned on the car to see where the overflow was coming from. The coolant rises and falls off from the pouring area.
3. Anything look out of place to you gentleman?
4. After letting some of the coolant overflow from the cap, it drained out below the car.
5. Put the cap on tight, but noticed while the car parked inside the garage, the temp gauge was above 180 area. Didn't like that a lot.
