Got to thinking and I am wondering if there is anything else that I should replace in association as long as I'm changing the fluid anyway.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm prepping to do the coolant flush and fill. Got to thinking and I am wondering if there is anything else that I should replace in association as long as I'm changing the fluid anyway. Any suggestions or recommendations? 2001 Boxster, Tiptronic, 84,000 miles

water pump done last year. I did order a low temp thermostat.

See that is something I would not think of. Thanks.

How about the front engine mount since you'll be there any way.

That's what I was thinking and I wish I had done when I did my WP + thermostat. Plus new belt and possibly new pulleys. If you want to do an underdrive pulley this is the time to do it as well.

Use an airlift to vacuum and refill, they are a blessing. I recently bought the OEM brand knockoff and it works perfect, saved lots of time and made the effort easy and clean. 50 bucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't see anything. Is that a pic of Aretha Franklin Live at the Apollo?

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Motor mount was done last year so I don't need to work on that. I do have the UView 550000 Airlift for the coolant exchange. I've never used it so we'll see how that goes. Ordered the low temp thermostat, underdrive pully and belt.
