Liquid Cooled


Recommended Posts

The other day temperature light began turned on and off, I did not know what was the problem, but I was quiet because temperature indicator was in the middle.

When I arrived I tried to verify coolant level and I filled in with antifreezing-coolant liquid (-13ºC). Then temperature light turned off.

Question: Am I right or wrong to fill with this kind of liquid? or Porsche recommends any other more specific?

Porsche Boxster 2.5

5/7/99

Manual trasmission.

Porsche wants you to use the coolant they sell, which is made by Arteco. Some coolants should not be mixed. If what you put in is one that should not be mixed I would not worry about it since it takes very little liquid to turn the light off. Every few years I add a cup or two of water to the tank when the light comes on.

Yup, water. However, I wouldn't use tapwater. Get a bottle of distilled water from your local supermarket and top up to the max mark. Make sure you do this after the car has completely cooled off - preferably overnight - and tighter the cap fully.

Good Luck,

Graeme
