Suggestion · Original poster
Today I noticed my car was running kind of hot, especially since the outside temps on the way to work and home were in the high 60's.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Today I noticed my car was running kind of hot, especially since the outside temps on the way to work and home were in the high 60's. Immediately upon arriving home, I decided to vaccum out the radiator cubby hole. The amount of debri was significant, however, the piece of debri that really caught my attention was a dried out frog carcus.
Ewwwww - reminds me of the time my wife found a squished bird carcass in the wheel of her Boxster!
It had tried to fly through the wheel at speed, and had splattered inside the alloy itself - then dried out and ben covered in brake dust.
Yuck!
(just cleaned my '02 Boxster's radiator ducts out a couple of weeks ago) but amount of stuff between A/C condensor and radiator which vacuuming from outside will not remove even more impressive.
On one side lot of plant debris. On other side alot of sand/gravel. Both had among other things ciggie butts, leaves, twigs, scraps of paper, dead insects, parts of insects, and stuff I don't want to know what it was...
Nasty stuff.
After buttoning up front bumper (had to remove front bumper to unbolt and swing A/C condensors aside to clean between them and radiators) rinsed area out with no spot spray at local car wash. The smell and color of the water that drained out... Oh my.
Several rinses later water clear.
Don't believe made any difference in cooling, these cars have much cooling margin, but it just feels better knowing that trash out of there. Besides trash can collect moisture and with time can result in corrosion of these very expensive A/C condensors and radiators from the outside as well.
Sincerely,
Macster.
The end was much to terrible to post on this family friendly site, however... we did capture this photo just seconds before the frog "dissapeared" into the intakes of the Porsche
little bastard!
Awe man, don't say that!
In my situation, the were leaves attatched and blocking the radiators. The next day I drove the car the temps came back down to normal.
Is there any interest locally to come by my house and have a remove your/my front bumper meet. I hate doing body work.
