I live inseattle WA,my 2000 boxster over heat with the ABS andbattery lightwere on, the coolant was on level, help what should I do......Thanks

 

There could be several things that I can think of for you to check when the lights come on....
below is some reading material for you to familiarize yourself with your car now and always. I suspect you need new brake pads/sensors, probably a worn belt that needs to be replaced and coolant might have a air bubble in the lines. I would say you need to either DIY or find a mechanic to look at your car as soon as possible.

[hr] ABS light on, possibly due to worn brake pads and sensors.
Are the brake pads really worn? If so, then the light won't go out until they and their sensors are replaced.

Strange dash lights could be an electrical fault (bad ignition switch) or very low battery.

Have you tried bleeding or "burping" the coolant system? Could be air somewhere in the lines.

F.Y.I.
Never - ever open a coolant cap unless the engine is cold. Danger to getting burned if you open when car is hot.. It says this in your Owner's Manual.

Remove the engine cover and check the belt that runs the alternator, power steering, and water pump.

I suggest you call your mechanic or find a good mechanic that works on Porsches. Talk about it and explain the problem and ask if they'll look at it and report possible causes. Depending on the mechanic and how well you know them, they might do it as "goodwill."

Good luck

If your belts are not slipping. Suggest you also flush out the cooling system with fresh water, by dropping the "bottom hose" and running a hose pipe into the header tank.
Then refill with Clean Water and Summer Coolant (Antifreeze).
For the other light faults, it may be worthtaking the Car to the nearest Full Porsche Dealer and ask them to just run a diagnostic check on the faults so that they can tell you the issuesbefore you commit to spending more money.

Sounds like your serpentine belt is competely broken.

 

thanks guys, is the belt easy to fix????

 

Yes. You need to remove the front carpet (behind the seats), remove the 10mm nuts holding the metal cover in place (be careful, the edges are actually very sharp), and then a 24mm (or 15/16") wrench to turn the spring tensioner.

 

Thanks Doc, let me try it out.......

 

Here is a picture

 

yep.... the belt came out .....and I don't have the tools ........ar......ar.......!!!!

 

not good new the water pump wheel came off, that is why the belt came off...what should I do......now ...o....
