Winter is on its way, and hopefully
we'll get more rain this year. This could be a
mixed blessing if your Boxster or 996 Cabriolet
sees the wet stuff with the top up. Both cars
have water drains in key areas that keep water
out of the passenger compartment. Leaves, pine
needles, and other debris tend to find their way
to these areas and end up blocking the small drain
tubes. When |
that happens, your Porsche can take on water.
Besides the side effect of smelly carpets, water
can accumulate and flood the computer mounted under
the driver's seat and cause a host of problems - the
most common symptom is not starting. When this happens,
you're facing a $2500 repair (or replacement) of the
computer. Heyer Performance cleans these drains with
any minor or major service, |
so the next time you have your oil
changed, you could save your computer without
even knowing it.
The same goes for the frontal air intakes
on all late model Porsches. Plastic bags, dirt, and
debris can clog up the clean airflow to the radiators
for your engine and air conditioning. Tony checks and
cleans the intakes on every watercooled Porsche he
services. |
