    Hi Guys my C4S coolant temp light was flashing,temp didnt go up,i picked up the pink porsche coolant and with 50/50 distilled water i topped it off,took a little over a quart,surprised it was that low,dont see any leaks or signs of intermix,can coolant level go down over time?,how can you know if there is air in there,i have read that it is hard to bleed these Thanks in advance Albert

    it really sounds like its coming from there,the noise is hard to discribe,its like a rattle but not a steel to steel rattle,i did think that it may be somewhere else so i am going to check the whole car out,how did you find the weld?

    2003 C4S once and a while the oil pressure goes to zero and i get the beep and warning on the dash,then it goes back to normal,does it a few times in a row then it may not do it for weeks,i have heard of this problem before from others,should i just change the sending unit? Thanks Albert

    Hey guys just put a hardtop on my 99 C2 Cab,i was told there are no wires for the rear defogger and that the contacts were built in the 2 rear bolts that hold the top,i do have the button on the dash and it does light up when i put it on but it doesnt seem like the defogger is working,any ideas Thanks Albert

    have a 1999 C2 Cab ,27000 miles,if the car sits a few days without starting,when i start it i get some white smoke,it disappears in 10 seconds then no smoke at all while driving or idle,is this normal or problem?? Thanks in Advance Albert

    have a 2003 C4S which front differential oil should i use to top off if its low Thanks in advance Albert
  23. goldgun
    its hard to tell without hearing it yourself but it may be a similar noise,i discribe mine as a coffee pot perking fast at the end of the perk,it does get quieter or louder with different road surface,dont hear it as much when i gas it because of the engine roar,i too changed 2 front wheel bearing and got new tires and the noise is still there,im wondering if it has anything to do with front differencial oil low or need to be changed,like i said i had 2 porsche guys check it and they say its normal(i disagree),please keep me informed if you get any soulutions on your end and i will do the same Thanks Albert

    i put a set of Sumitomo HTR 111,noise is the same,think it has anything to do with front differencial oil?
