Coffee colored coolant
Hi Everyone, first of all apologies if this is a repitition of previous threads! I have a lovely Jungle Green Boxster S 2002 model and have had no trouble with it at all. I have kept on top of all of the servicing and regularly check oil and water and it was on a routine check that I found the coolant problem. This can only have happened in the past two weeks and what was a nice red colored coolant is now like a latte! The car has been running perfectly and as strong as ever but I have of course stopped driving it while I investigate. What I plan to do is try draining it all and flushing before replacing it with coolant to the required spec. If it happens again I'll look at the oil cooler/heat exchanger with a view to changing. I can't think that it would be a cracked head or head gaskets as the engine when running was so strong. The temperature also stayed the same. Can anyone allay my fears with regards the more serious issues and confirm if I am taking the right action? I am not even thinking of starting it until the coolant has been replaced so grateful for any advice/support. My only remaining problem is getting two corroded phillips screws out from the cover!
Thanks everyone! Gerlad
