Had cooling problems with your 944 this year??
Just a reminder that if you have a leaky headgasket and have filled up with water only, it's about the time to drain the cooling system, or add some antifreeze for the wintr ahead. even if she just sits this winter.

If I had a leaky head gasket I would replace the head gasket.

just adding it will not reach into the heater core, you must run the engine.

I have a flush out my cooling system. Any kind of cleaner I could add to clean out my cooling system? I dont have oil or anything else in there,... im just asking. My temp has been flucuating between 2 and 3 at idle almost always hitting 3 but not past. This is new. I figure I would start with a good flushing first.
