Answers:

something is leaking from my car and i dunno what is it?

The Porsche Boxster engine cooling system is factory filled with a lifetime antifreeze. The engine coolant is a mixture of 50% antifreeze (silicate free) and 50% water. At this time, only antifreeze available from Porsche is authorized for use in the Boxster.

i cant get my bonet open!?


For top-ups or replacement, only the new antifreeze should be used. In emergency cases where the correct antifreeze is not available and a top-up of the system is necessary, clear water may be used. This will affect antifreeze concentration levels.

Do i have to have my head gasket or anything else repairedand around how much will it cost?


Antifreeze concentrations:

2007 tahoe truck will not start any idea what could be?


50% antifreeze is good down to -30º C (-31º F)

1993 acura legend with antifreeze smell only at idle?


60% antifreeze is good down to -40º C (-40º F)

Is there an abrasive to get rid of small rock chips on car glass windshields?


A higher concentration should not be used as the heat transfer quality of the coolant will decrease.

my washer won't aggitate,or spin.i just replaced the door contactor?

Call the dealer w/VIN. They should be able to tell you what type you have

How can I remove oil spots from my concrete driveway, (engine oil)?

Best to ring up the dealer`s and ask them , the problem you have is that if you mix the wrong type then the antifreeze turn`s to a jelly like substance and will cause you major problem`s when it block`s up your water way`s inside your engine !
Alternative is to flush out the full water system and replace it with antifreeze of your choice !

Check your specification page in your manual in your glove box. Generally speaking cars today that have aluminum radiators with plastic end tanks use a 150,000 antifreeze. If your antifreeze in your coolant recovery tank is an orange - red color it most likely what is called Dex Cool Antifreeze. Texaco, Prestone Zerex, and others make the same version. I'd find the antifreeze specification from your new car dealer if it isn't absolutely clear in your manual. In fact I'd call the parts dept. at the dealer. You will get the correct answer.
