Was doing some overall looking over of things and noticed that my radiator fan does not appear to be running.....Can't really tell when I'm driving the car, but I never hear it running after I get out.....In my previous vehicles, it always seemed to run a little while after I had driven 30 or 40 miles at a shot......Not so with the Boxster!

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Was doing some overall looking over of things and noticed that my radiator fan does not appear to be running.....Can't really tell when I'm driving the car, but I never hear it running after I get out.....In my previous vehicles, it always seemed to run a little while after I had driven 30 or 40 miles at a shot......Not so with the Boxster! ......Does this seem normal? Thanks, Lou

POST 2Original post

Normal. I have not heard my fans run after shut down! If you sit in a traffic jam on a hot day, you can hear the fan run.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Mahalo! (Thats "Thank you" to all unknowing mainlanders) for the well informed advice! Was going in to have the clutch looked at, appears to be going, and was gonna have that looked at as well...... Lou

POST 4Original post

Good luck with your Box and hey, we envy you living in Paradise!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, Paradise is nice .........But not the Paradise tax! Things are a tad more expensive out here, but then you Californians have to deal with that too! Can't beat the weather tho...... Think I may be jumping the gun a bit on the clutch, just been getting used to it, and treating it a bit more harshly as a result , burnin it up a little......think I'll wait on that for now tho.... Gonna hit 50k anytime now .....Pretty reasonable for a '98....... Lou

POST 6Original post

Been to Hawaii, love it. Live in San Diego, love it. Paradise is costly! Pass the bear nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:
