Re: new antifreeze makes car overheat!

(yes, I added 60% coolant and 40% water) The engine started overheating and now it wont start at all, it just makes a clicking noise (I checked the battery). Was I supposed to use a different antifreeze? Thanks for your help. -Lamar

Gee, I hope you checked the radiator cap...it should be pressure rated for 16 PSI. Also, please allow me to be the first to congratulate you for selecting the most desireable 911 varient ever made.
