TECHNICAL LIBRARY Tracking your car and the M96 Engine Elevated Temperatures. Elevated engine temperatures can be easily rectified by installing a low temperature thermostat and center radiator. Added cooling will help reduce oil temperatures and reduce the load on the AOS. When fitting a low temperature thermostat and new Genuine Porsche water pump, if running water rather than coolant, the addition of a product like Driven CSP (Coolant System Protector) will keep control corrosion in the engine and radiators. Be sure to only use distilled water, too. Otherwise, use Genuine Porsche coolant or a suitable European alternative such as Pentofrost. Another common issue is overheating of the M96 and M97 power steering pump. Consider installing a Bilt Racing Power Steering Cooler or 5” underdrive pulley to reduce speed of power steering pump and Driven PSF. For those wanting improved shifter feel, the 997 factory shifter provides a welcome improvement over the original 986/996 shifter while replacing many wear components. Notchy shifting can also indicate it’s time to change your gear oil. Lastly, over-revs and missed shifts can be attributed to engine failures as well. Stay away from aftermarket short shift kits and ECU flashes that raise the rev limiter!
