Hi,

using the aircon C6? Code my cooling system is constantly around 93C when fully warmed up. Lowest constant has been around 92C and the hottest 105C

I live in the Tropics and these temperatures are with an ambient spread of around 22-38C

Oil temperarture is ideal when in a band of around 90-96C

That's a good point Doug; at the moment, I don't use my aircon or heating all that much. The spring and summer in warsaw are quite warm; the temp goes upto 40 deg. celsius. I'll have to wait and see how the same will affect the cooling system.

The irritating bit is the fact that the Porsche Technician can't tell what the norm was in relation to the average cooling temp.

Thanks very much indeed for your feedback.

cheers,

Sounds normal to me. My gauge reads just above the 80deg C mark. I am in Munich with fairly similar weather to you. In the summer it reads almost identical just above 80 as it should do.

All,

Thanks very much indeed for your feedback; it made me feel a whole lot better !

Cheers..Raj

Hi All,

I would appreciate some feedback on the following query.

I recently replaced my radiator at the Porsche Workshop ( financially painful experience) and now my Porsche (Boxster -986) appears to be running a little hotter. The temp. gauge is slightly above the "80" mark i.e. about 40-45% of the whole meter.

Bearing in mind that I'm using it during the peak of winter here in Warsaw, Poland, I'm a little concerned about how affect the summer will have on the cooling system. The Porsche mechanic is going to check it again but he can't tell me what the average running temp. is for a 986 Boxster (Wanker!!).

So my question is this: What is the average running temp. shown on the gauge for your Boxsters during summer and winter?

Cheers,

Raj

Raj:

Hope you get many years of enjoyment from your "new" Boxster.

Regards, Maurice.

Cheers Mate!

Maurice/Rick/White,

Many thanks for all the responses.

I got the car yesterday but didn't manage to drive it as yet!

I'm in Moscow at the moment on business; perfect timing!

It may well be a blessing in disguise because I can focus on the various issues you guys have advised me on.

Thanks a again.

Cheers...Raj

Maurice/White,

Thanks very much indeed for that piece of advice.

I'll try to source the "raggtop" from somewhere; I do apologise for my ignorance but where are the drains that you are referring to? Is it internal or external?

Also, would it suffice if I covered the car with a waterproof car cover or something?

Cheers mate,

Raj

Hi All,

I've recently bought a 2003 Porsche Boxster and would appreciate some advice on whether snow/rain could damage the soft top. I live in Warsaw, Poland and the temp. goes really low in Winter; any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Raj
