new water pump
What is normal operating temp for a 2000 Boxster S? I just replaced the coolant pump (easy as pie) and wanna make sure everything is where it ought to be. Mine is running 185-190°F now. That's close enough to mid-scale to make me think it's normal, but I don't know. I'd driven the car close to 2k miles since I bought it, and I never really noted the exact temp, but knew it was ~mid scale. I'm new to Porsche and new to the forum. Any help is the right kind.
Also, I only drained ~2 gallons out to replace the pump (used clamps) and I topped off with distilled water and ~.8 gallons PEAK antifreeze. I'm not scared of purging and refilling, and the temp around here never gets below 10°F. I'm tempted to run almost antifreeze free. But do i need to worry about gumming with my current mish-mash of antifreeze??
