I have a 2002 996TT that I owned in Dubai and now have back in the UK. Whilst in Dubai the engine temp was always pointing straight up regardless of the outside temp and whether or not the aircon was on and the fans came on and off as required.
Since getting the car back here I find that it runs very cold rarely getting over 60 unless stationary and dropping back once on the move. I have changed the thermostat as a precaution although the old one seemed fine and was not stuck open.
What else would cause the engine to run cold? With the colder weather I am struggling to get any heat out of the heater.
The car is a tiptronic so has the additional radiator - I have read somewhere that there is a solenoid valve in the cooling circuit and that this might be the problem. Where is it and is it an easy fix?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Richard
