Not a big thing but you guys out there who log new 997 problems, I have recently had my C2 taken back to the dealer with a reoccurring low coolant warning light coming on. The temperature guage showed no over-heating whatsoever but, after dropping a pint of water in the reservoir, the light came back on after a few miles. A split hose, according to Porsche who provided a collection and drop of service to my drive. This appears to be a fairly common fault with 997s and one which Porsche is happy to rectify with minimum fuss.

 

Had two hoses go at the same time on mine. Light never came on but noticed small puddle under right front, and loss of coolant level.
