Boxter 2000

Hey everyone again.

Brake Light bulb got busted looking online for something good, any thoughts?

Thanks!

Got it, thanks a lot!!

Hi guys!

Lately my 2000 Boxter is making a 1 sec short bzzz sound ehen I start the engine, after the car was seating for a while and the engine is cold.

Anyone knows anything about this?

Thanks guys!

Thanks for this, any cap in particular you can recommend?

So another small update on this:

Took the car to an independent mechanic. He inspected everything and said the car is in great shape. At this point all I can think of is changing the reservoir cap, Hilux2400 suggested and stitching to Porsche branded coolant..

Will keep this thread updated once I have any news.

Small update.

Temperature goes up only when driving on traffic.

Took it to the dealer, they said the water pump is new, they have just replaced the thermostat, radiators look clean, no coolant leak.

They said they even wonder if there is a problem... which is bs.

12 o'clock position is what I thought is perfect.

Cap is tight, coolant level is high.

Fans kick on, not sure about water pump and serpentine belt, should probably take it in for service, right?

It just kills me that I got it from the dealer after they did the repairs and there are problems right away.

Forgot to say it has around 73k now, 2,7 engine, 5 speed manual and it's in the US.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum and just got my first porsche. It's a 2000 Boxter.

I bought it from a dealer and two weeks into driving the engine temperature went to about 3/4 and there was a knocking sound under that felt like it's coming from under the seats. I stopped the car right away and found that all of the coolant leaked out, by the rear passenger side wheel.

Took the car back top the dealer where they said that the thermostat got busted and there were air pockets in the coolant system. They said they fixed everything, but when I got the car back I noticed the engine temperature is still higher than half way (see the picture) and that's after about 15 minutes of driving.

If you guys could give ne sine advice on the following, I would really appreciate it:

1. Is this an actual problem our that's a normal Porsche engine temperature.

2. Could this be because they didn't fill up the system with a good quality coolant?

3. What could be wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks!!

It worked!

Your a life saver, thanks lots!
