    water pump replacement DIY

    in DIY Articles - Boxster (986) - Common Fixes and Repairs

    Posted

    You need to cut the connecting web to get the old gasket out. http://p-car.com/996/diy/waterpump/

    Remove the caps then the plastic plate under the caps. To open the bleed valve you lift it metal lever up and it will stay in the up position.

    Lift up on the lever. Warm up the car a while and keep the tank full. Put the cap on run the engine at 2,500 rpms for 10 minutes to get the thermostat opened. Make sure the tank is still filled. Run the car at 2,500 again for 5 minutes and every 30 seconds briefly rev the engine up to 5,000 rpm. This is for a manual transmission car. Tiptronic has a valve that needs to be opened.

    All this is for a car in a shop setting. When I bled my system at home a few years ago I filled the tank. Put the cap on and lifted the lever. Then I went for a 20 minute drive. I brought water with me in case the low level warning light came on to top off the tank, but it did not. When I got home I filled the tank to the max and closed the lever.

    Don't burn yourself.

    Hi,

    I hope someone could help.

    Since changing my water pump (2000 Boxster S Tiptronic) the fans do not come on. I have bled my system with the B1 fuse removed and the temprature needle sits on the right hand side of the '0' on the 180 in traffic.

    Where Toolpants mentioned 'Tiptronic has a valve that needs to be opened', is this done manually? Is there anything I missed?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Weird Indicator Problem

    in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)

    Posted · Edited by jonny3303

    Hi to All. It's my first post here and I would like to thank this amazing forum for solving most of my problems.

    I'm just about to set off on my holidays and typically my Boxster's developed a small but irritating problem.

    The RH indicator flashes at twice the speed as the LH side. The hazards work fine and it doesn't seem like a fuse problem. Does anyone know the cause?

    Cheers, Jonny
