Have you ever overheated?

Maybe its a blown headgasket.

 

i dont think so,
i bought it in alabama from James Tim Ross last autumn. I was too excited too verify that on place. I think i bought it like that ((((((((((((((.
First Porsche , bad experience ((((((((((((.

 

I just changed the spark plugs,,,, that were Autolite sparkplugs ((((

the one on cylinder 5 was white..all others were perfect.

(the electronic oil level is moving... sometime is down, sometime is up.

 

Do a compression check on cyl 5 and go from there.

 

Let me be the first to say "Oh-no"... but it's not looking pretty from what you say. Get professional help if you don't the the experience to deal with. It's best to get it taken care of NOW..... Don't wait, it can only get worse.... Once you see white smoke and it becomes hard to start it can cause some serious damage....

for the moment, no white smoke, not difficult to start.

Friend of mine, put a dye into oil yesterday (sunday). With a black light, i will be able to confirm where my oil go ( i wish).

 

Well, a cracked engine block at N2 and N5 cyl is a well known malady of pre-02 cars. Basically, replacing the engine is the only solution.

 

let us know how you make out!

 

for the moment, i tried to put dye into motor oil, With a black light i'll wait to see if oil go into coolant or if it an old problem (without a good flushing of coolant/oil).

 

Good luck. I hope its not what we fear. Keep us posted.

 

Profil32 what happened on this??

 

i just received my car saturday june 10, the mechanic man didnt find nothing, he just remove all rubber hoses and clean them. I'll ride a couple of days with only water and flush it every day. I wish it was an old problem from the last owner..
I cant know more ,, i bought my car from Tim Ross in Alabama he's a policeman and a porsche broker (porschebroker@yahoo.com). He sold me the car like supposed need nothing but car need this,,, with oil in prestone, 1 gasket cover broken, and 4 lifters not good (clicking), no key to remove wheels key lock, brake where suppoed to be new ( i changed rear pads), suppose to sent me an owner manual....that's my first experience with him...(sorry for my bad english skill, my first language is french).

 

That sucks. I hope you're not another victim of a blown engine. Good Luck, keep us posted.
