borsche boxster 3.2 overheating
hello I have an issue with my 2000 plate Porsche boxster 3.2, any advice would be appreciated
1 the car is overheating and dumping its coolant, the dash seems to work correctly and the gauge is showing above 80c (perhaps 90c)
2 the radiator fans are not running at any point.
3 one pipe to each radiator is hot and the other seems cool, it is the same on both sides, I put my hand into the wheelarch to check this
4 the car has had a new water pump by the previous owner.
5 the car overheats in around 3 miles of normal driving at +25c ambient.
6 the car internal heater runs very hot when set to high temp.
7 I have checked all fuses and they are ok. the relays also seem ok
8 I cant seem to hear the engine coolant fan running, I take it that it would pull cool air from the drivers side rear air vent (rhd car)
im going to but a new water temperature sensor and see if that sorts the issue. im slightly confused by the fact that one pipe to each rad is hot??
as said previously any advice is appreciated
many thanks
steve
