Thanks for your help - I think I got to the bottom of it... I needed to properly burp the cooling system, which I have now done and I'm pleased with the results. I appreciate everyone's help!

Advice Needed Please! I have a 2001 996 Carrera Cabriolet with 133,470 miles and a coolant temperature issue (see photo of gauge at 75F ambient temperature after sitting idle for a few minutes) This is what I have replaced related to cooling system within the past 5,000 miles: Water Pump Thermostat & Housing (stock thermostat) Coolant Expansion Tank and cap Coolant Level Sensor Coolant (Pentosin) Left Side Ballast Resistor Cleaned both Radiators Both front radiator fans come on at low and high speeds and both ballast resistors are working fine. What could possibly be the cause of this problem? Do I need to replace the coolant temperature sensor? Or is there another possible problem? Also, I noticed that my deck lid fan doesn't ever come on even though I tested it and got it to come on by touching the engine compartment sensor to a hot engine component. The engine compartment sensor is properly seated in the passenger side manifold as it's supposed to, but even at high temperatures the fan will not come on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you for this advice. I planned to only rebuild the leaking side, but now I will do both, as I suspect the other one is probably on its way out as well. I plan to take them off today and send them in to Cabriolet Hydraulics. Thanks again!!

Thank you both! Looks like an expensive fix.

Hello folks, I have a 2001 996 cabriolet with a hydraulic leak on the drivers side piston. I recently had to add hydraulic fluid to the convertible top reservoir, but it immediately leaked out of the bottom of the piston. Is there any fix for this or do I need to replace the entire part? has anyone else encountered this problem? Where would I purchase parts for this fix? Thanks in advance!
