Thanks, Maurice. Will do. By the way, is it possible that the problem is caused by a failing thermostat? I remembered more than one month ago, the coolant temperature sensor light on board turned on with coolant temp gauge remain lowest all the time. But this problem disappeared after a couple of restarts. Now that you know what the code is, go back to Autozone and have them turn off the CEL so that you can monitor any new CEL, in case it comes back. If you don't want to go back to Autozone, you could just disconnect the battery for one minute and that will also turn off the CEL. Regards, Maurice. -
Hi, everyone I have a 2006 boxster (automatic with 56K miles on it). The check engine light came on yesterday. Autozone read the code: P2181 (cooling system performance malfunction). The car drives perfect. Coolant temp is just normal. I can not find any problem or abnormal noise. After the code came out, I checked the coolant level, it was do below min when hot. So I filled the coolant up to Max when hot (I can not wait till the coolant to cool down). Then I turned on the engine and drove for about 5 miles. The check engine light did not turn off. Does anyone know what the problem really is? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot

hi, Maurice I have a 2006 987 which has the exact same problem. Does it share the same tension spring as 986? If not, could you please tell me the part number? By the way, where can I get it? From local dealer or online? thanks a lot. -
Thank you, RFM. This helps a lot.

Hi, there I have a 2006 boxster with auto trans. After three days outside parking, I found it hard to shift. I mean after pushing the button down, I can feel the shift stick is not moving freely, I have to pull hard to get to P, R, N or D. The resistance is constant, no jump or jerk feeling. The problem usually disappear in morning when I drive it to work. It will come back after one day's lot parking. Any one has any clue about this problem? Thanks a lot for any suggestion.
