Hi
I Apollogize deeply for my lack of following up on a thread started by myself.
Im in the middle of a job change so been busy with boring stuff.
Thanks and kudos to DeMort for the help and assistance. I have been able to avoid the big bills from the garage, just by listening to his suggestions.
DeMort -
To your question.
I changed the disc valve, not the switch.
Im driving the car here in Denmark current temp is about 2C to 6C.
The car had very poor heating in the beginning and I was suspecting air in the system.
So I have tried a few times to bleed out air by releasing the pressure in the coolant bottle.
Over time the temperature is getting better. But not as I would expect (wonder what the heating capacity is the Porsche compared to other cars)
I did had a strange situation one day.
I was at a take away restaurant and I pulled down the window for a minute and suddenly the temp rised to a state where it was "heating" the car.
After this day, the car got better at heating - feels like a 80-85% capacity now.
So for now I have reduced he no of failures to following
1. Heating still needs improvement
2. I get a strange sqeeeaking sound from the radio when I turn on the igniotion key.
3. Radio is not always on when I start the car.
4. I get a strange "klonk" at low speeds sounding like bad engine support or gearbox support.
Things Id like to make.
1. Find out how to set lights on without have to turn the light button (we have lights on all time when driving here in DK)
I have PIWIS2 but Im not famililar with it yet.
2. Bought a GTS Steering wheel with airbag. I know I a steering module 99.613.289.01, but I wonder if I will need more than that. My cars is a tiptronic. I will use the paddles on the steering wheel, but not multifunction.
Paul Li from GPS (German performance parts) (if you know him) recommend me to buy his STMV1
3. I would also love another exhaust, but Im not sire if the one I got is the orig and if I just should Gundo that one
Even though Im not at the end with improvements and repair, then I still ove the car more and more everyday.. its such a great car.
