  1. I just filled the coolant up... took a good 2 L total of water + coolant. Doesn't look good. Guess I'll keep bleeding/adding it for a week as Loren suggested in earlier threads The oil was light brown.. Orange/brownish. Is that a bad sign? I did mix 10W40 with the 0W40 yesterday as I couldn't find any 0W40
  2. Does low coolant not have an actual icon on the dash? I just filled it up with Porsche coolant last week... Do I need to add water or is it already mixed in with the Porsche one? If so, how much? 50/50?
  3. Would you recommend going with 5W40 in the summer months? I'm down South, 36,000 miles.
  4. That's a problem on my car too... It happened the day I picked it up 3 weeks ago. They had it up in the air and apparently the pressure popped the skirt loose. I was given some seal/bond.. however that held the the side skirts intact for about a day. I'll try doing it again in the winter. I wouldn't mind so much, but you can see the black tape against my silver paint and it looks like crap.
  5. Happy new owner of a 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera, just picked it up a few weeks ago. The engine has always been running anywhere between the left and the right side of the 0 in 180. I'd say ~ 190 - 215 degrees. Today was no different, except that the red section started flashing red every few seconds. I shut the engine off for 10 minutes, and it seemed to be fine for about 50 miles. Then it reappeared a few hours later when I took it out again. What exactly does this mean? The needle never went past the 0 (~ 215)... I'm fairly paranoid right now as I had a BMW that suffered innumerable overheating issues. Eventually dropped more than $15K in repairs on that car. The RMS was replaced 3 weeks ago. Since then I've put on 2000 miles, and the oil level according to the dash was 1 bar above the minimum...
