Friendly little reminder to change out your plastic coolant tank pressure cap if you haven't done it within the last two years. They only last about two years and then will cause your car to dump coolant out of the cooling system. I know, this happened to me about two summers ago and I caught it going bad this time about a month ago by watching my temperature gage go higher than normal readings. Changed it out and everything is back to normal. The cap is only around $20.

 

Never heard of a two year only coolant cap

 

That's one of Porsche's secret weapon to nickle & dime you to death

 

so you think the cap has something to do with coolant tank failure?

 

I wish it was only nickles and dimes, I would have a lot more money

 

It does. The cap takes out the tank. It happened to me last summer. The tank is 500 bucks installed.

 

Im thinking more $$$ if its supercharged... , time to get a new cap

 

Thanks for the heads up. I will check.
