Temp gauge?????????
 

Has anyone ever had the red light to the right of the temp gauge blink.. and the temp gauge stay on zero, then move to the 180 deg mark and the red light stop blinking????

Mike, were you just starting the car? Was it running? Was it in the ACC position with the engine off? I don't think you gave enough info.

If it keeps doing this, I think a call to Hans is in order!

Well lets see, I had just started the car. I had been driving for about 10-Min the temp gauge never moved past 0. The red light next to the temp gauge (R-Side)
was flashing, then in just an instant the gauge jumped up to 180 and the red light stoped. :confused:

Mike

Short in the engine temperature sending unit or whatever it's called is my guess. It wasn't working and then it started up the way it should.

Couldn't it just be the coolant is low?
I saw the red light flashing on mine once,
but not over heating. Just needed some water.

Ditto the above! Try it!

the owners manual says "this warning light flashes to indicate a fault in the engine compartment blower fan". I had some thing happen to my fuel gauge (it would read 0 and the light would flash), which i ended up having to get the sender unit replaced.

I love this forum. I learn something new about our car every single day! :cheers:

So true, I did not know that!

More Drama,

It happen again this time I had been driving for sometime. I parked it for about 20-min and then on start up the temp gauge would not move the red blinking light came back AND THE CEL came on :confused: :confused: :mad: :mad:

While on the way home the temp gauge went back to normal the red light went out but the CEL still stayed on!!!!!! :barf:

Ok more drama

My car lost some of its rad fluid on the way to work today.

Hello, Hans! Call him tonight after 6.30 if you haven't done so and get that car in for repair.

I'm so sorry you're having these kinds of problems with your boxster. It makes more sense for me since mine is older and was treated so poorly. Yours being newer and having less mileage made me think it would be more trouble-free.

Randall,

Called Hans last night he is in Atlanta getting some Porsche training he wont be back untill Saterday. My car lost a lot of fluid today so I had to take it to Euro Car-Werks
Eric is a great guy I feel very comfortable with him.

P.S HE HAS A 1999 Boxster Blackx3 5-speed 60k on the clock he is selling for 19.500.00 car looks real KLEAN!!!!!!!!
