Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Tip is to pre-fill the new radiator with water and connect the two side hoses quickly so you don't introduce too much air - minimizing burping the coolant system later.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

I'm considering installing a center radiator kit on my 06 987s. Has anyone installed the Suncoast kit and have had any issues or recommendations on a specific kit? I live in the Arizona desert and was told this would be a good idea. Thanks for your advice.

POST 2Original post

I did the center radiator from Suncoast on my 06 CS a few yrs ago. pretty basic after you remove the bumper. Tip is to pre-fill the new radiator with water and connect the two side hoses quickly so you don't introduce too much air - minimizing burping the coolant system later. lot of videos and instructions out there I have a Scangauge II (OBD) which measures water temp accurately (instead of the idiot dash gauge). Car ran 20 deg cooler temps in summer (90+ deg) with AC on and climbing mtns (210 vs 230 deg). You definitely need it for AZ summers.

POST 3Original post

You cant beat the Suncoast kit, I used it on my 06 987.1 S as well....I do have a pressure bleeder however which is recommended to bleed the system. Great time to also do the water pump as well if its been 50,000 miles.

POST 4Original post

This is something I am looking into, we don't have such hot summers as you guys but for trackdays later in the year it seems the obvious choice.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
