Car over heating

[JFP in PA]

An additional thought for anyone with a base Boxster considering going to the 160F stat; as you will be draining the cooling system anyway, this is an excellent time to swap out the base oil cooler for the “S” version, which is more than twice the size of the base unit and will help your oil temps as well. For $200, it is one of the neatest upgrades you can do on a base car.

Thanks for your help guys. Very informative. I've managed to bleed the system and get the coolant to the front radiators. Can anyone tell me what temperature the car should heat up to until the fans come on.

I've gone up to almost 100d with no fans.

I'm sure this is a little high.
