Hi, with winter coming got me thinking about coolant  change frequency. What is the opinion on here of coolant life. Apparently  Porsche say it is good for life of car. Mine is 2013, and never been done i assume.

siren battery

walking up the drive last night had the obligatory glance at the Box, and had that horrible feeling in my stomach, the windows had condensation on the inside😲.

After a sleepless night i checked inside and sure enough, wet carpets. By the grace of whoever's  up their, it was only the drivers side behind the seat. I thought ,great not only \alarm/\battery problems, but this as well. To top it all off, got my Aqua Vac out and was trying to get any water i could out ,when their was a bang and a cloud of smoke from the Vac, deceased......

So , up with the roof, checked the obvious drain and sure enough it was blocked.  Not quite sure how you are meant to get anything around the right angle bend in the drain pipe about 5 inches in ??it just hits the wall of the pipe. So i taped a piece of hose to my trusty DC04, and managed to suck out whatever was blocking it. Then taped same pipe to garden hose gun and jetted out both sides so the water was running out of both underside positions, also checked the drains adjacent to the headrests.

Hopefully that has cured my water ingress problem, now for some sunny days.  And , incidently, CAN i remove the alarm siren and still use the car, as i want to change battery  . Cheers 

 Looking at some internet information and noticed that US cars chirp twice upon locking, as people dont like the cheap sound and replace the siren with a better sounding one. 

Ours only chirp when we leave something open??

can the siren/alarm be temporary disconnected whilst i look into that, without throwing any error codes, etc.  cheers

The reason  i still may suspect the battery is because it read 11.7 volts after the flashing/alarm incident, and i thought these cars can be doing strange things when battery is on its way out.  But i will disconnect siren if it can be

      Incidently, do not get problem when its on my Lidl conditioner, and my alarm does chirp when i leave something open and lock car.  May do the battery in the Alarm as a precaution,  Anyone know what to order, without me opening mine first, cheers

took car into have a battery check , and was told my 10 yr old battery is in good condition, and just needs a good charge, perhaps the result of short runs?? apparantly should be 800 cca, and mine is 705cca. the guy said hes seen porsches with 15 year old and more batteries. Still not convinced, but will see.

Dick Turpin just got back to me from Portsmouth OPC with a price for battery,  refraining from swearing, it was £526.42.

A Bosch S5A11 from Tanya is £136 delivered………

OPC Or indie for new battery. Not hot Porsche warranty, but have a battery warranty up to £250😊. Probably half cost of opc

Checked main battery in car  and it was reading 11.7v at rest,  which is low I think . The battery is original 2013 so getting on a bit.

Whilst watching tv tonight noticed the car alarm go off and Hazard lights flashing. the alarm stopped on its own but Hazards still flashing. Stopped with key. Went for a drive to see it it would fix things. Got home , locked up .all was well for 30 mins, then did it again. Thinking it could be Alarm siren box, as DAZ mentioned in a video. Any help appreciated, thanks

Yes i agree too, the 981 Sport Design is far better looking than the 718 wheel. Its just a great, clean Sporty looking wheel. It would be top of my options list if ordering a 981 when they were made.
