Hi,
Having recently moved from a 981 Cayman S to a 991.2 Carrera 2, I was having a bit of a blast up a section of the new Norwich Northern Distributor road. On a warm engine, I had been driving quite hard in Sport mode for several miles when I noticed that the coolant temp had dropped to 75 degrees. I pulled off into a lay-by and waited a few minutes and the temp. came back up to 90 degrees and steadied off as normal. I set off again expecting it to fall once the air started flowing over the rad's again, but it's been fine ever since with no re-occurrence.
I've known thermostats to stick open before and even for them to do it intermittently, but I wouldn't have expected it on a car with under 6,000 miles and for it to happen just once seems a bit bizarre.
New to this forum and wanting to know if anyone else has encountered anything like this??
