having taken some of the leads of the assumed thermo the right hand side fan started workin for about 7 secs turned its self off for the same period then back on repeating. this wasnt enough time to cool as temp kept rising both rads are hot any more clues!! havnt yet jumped the leads as not sure which !!but i will attempt this are they on top right hand side right rad
cheers

I have just checked the level it was down topped it up then got car ticking over as it was approaching working temp it started chucking the coolant out through the over flow pipe the rads were getting warm but maybe if the coolant gets to low before up to working heat the thermo switch will never get hot enough do you think the rad cap could be faulty....?

 

Thanks for your help am not 100% sure yet its the thermo switch although
am getting a new one its because i dont think it should be chucking coolant out as posted on davehanda will keep updating thanks again for your interest

 

Thank you wiil try hot water my mate gotta ohm sweet ohm meter i think

 

listen your doin brill considering.. I have ordered a manuel i was told you needed a mechanic in the boot before a bought it but i gotta say this car would only be replaced for an 430.. I love it I was porsches biggest fan 6months ago !!
any way back to my fault keep on the case as iam getting there iam loving it really coz it aint cost anything yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again

 

Iam not saying its the best engineered car as i think german cars are made better but as of now I wouldnt go back to a porsche as long as funds allow There is something about the 360 i love it!! to quote top gear presenter clarkson "Its like a scaled down version of god" he he
In a way Iam sort of glad its a bit ill right now so as it stop me driving it thus keeping the miles off it I have no regrets yet!!
The down side I fear is the maintance cost before i bought it £10k sterling had been spent on it... Its year is 2000
As you have a 355 am sure you no the upkeep side of things Iam not sure but i would imagine the 360 is easier to maintain get one

 

I have been told this could be the case but something has started the problem should i assume this has been the rad themo switch cheers

 

I see where your coming from. I discovered the fault whilst stuck in traffic as long as the car is moving it stays cool so I assumed the fault lay with the fans not coming on not low level of coolant its chicken and egg which comes first but i agree with you to start with a airtight system first thanks again
