I just checked the model number on the cap and it ends in "00", not "01".

It was replaced 4 years ago along with a new coolant tank which was why I thought it might have needed a new tank.

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.

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

My car was leaking and I was all prepared to do a coolant tank, but started with that, and that solved the problem.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone have a link for how to replace a coolant tank in a 99 996? I found one when I did a search but the link is dead. It's leaking under the cap, could it be a faulty cap? Tank is full, is there an overflow on the top of the tank? Thanks for any help http://basketcasemotorsports.bravehost.com/Tank.htm

POST 2Original post

Take your cap off and check the part #, if it doesn't end in -01 then REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY, don't do the tank yet! My car was leaking and I was all prepared to do a coolant tank, but started with that, and that solved the problem.

POST 3Original post

You can find it here if you need it.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the help

POST 5Original post

I'd check it's the only leak. I had a coolant leak but it was in the front left wheel well. We found it when I added black light fluid to the coolant and then waited for the coolant light to come on. Now, walk about the car with the yellow glasses and the light and you'll see any leaks. The dealer recommended this approach.

POST 6Original post

I have the same issue. I just checked the model number on the cap and it ends in "00", not "01". Whats the difference?

POST 7Original post

The "00" caps leak. At one time the dealers were to replace them - about $14 as I recall.

POST 8Original post

Precisely. Spending $18cdn solved my problems! About 1/3 the price of the jug of coolant I had to buy to replace the coolant that leaked out!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car has the upgraded -01 cap and it leaked. It was replaced 4 years ago along with a new coolant tank which was why I thought it might have needed a new tank. From what I can see it just needs another cap, no cracks in the tank, pressure test was fine. Thanks again for the info.

POST 10Original post

I took mine into the dealer upon smelling the coolant. It took them a week with a complete tear down of the system. Good news is they gave me a boxster...I felt it was my job to see what its limits were. A week later I got a new coolant cap and no follow on problems.
