tomo Posted 17February, 2023 Report Share Posted 17February, 2023 Just spent 5 hrs behind the wheel of the 996 , And it is the first time I have noticed the luggage in the frunk was warm, You could nearly call it hot , Temp gauge in the car sat just a smidge over the 80 mark, The .2 was in 2.5 _3000 rpm most of the time and performed effortlessly as usual, Any one else noticed this? The outside temp was hovering around 36 C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepo Posted 17February, 2023 Report Share Posted 17February, 2023 I wouldn’t be concerned Tomo, it was pretty hot today, only a piece of sheet metal separating the baking sun from your luggage and no air getting into the frunk. Temp gauge sounds about normal. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Cheers @Stepo Have been back in the car since the long stint all things are good , Just it was the first time the frunk and what it containened suffered from heat transfer.

sjm Posted 17February, 2023 Report Share Posted 17February, 2023 Thought that due to the radiators, that are either side, also added to the heat. Have done trips away too, and luggage is toasty when unloading. tomo and mc968cs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewM Posted 18February, 2023 Report Share Posted 18February, 2023 😄 Do not get a Lotus Elise and but stuff in the boot. If you think the frunk gets hot...! tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mttel Posted 22February, 2023 Report Share Posted 22February, 2023 I've noticed that the frunk of the 996 is noticeably warmer than the 986 Boxster (boot gets as warm as the 996 frunk). For the temp gauge like yours sits just above 80 most days. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3MEZ Posted 22February, 2023 Report Share Posted 22February, 2023 What colour is the car in question? If is black/dark, I suspect that letting it just sit in the sun with the motor not running would result in the same outcome. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted 22February, 2023 Author Report Share Posted 22February, 2023 Yeh Na I have had the car for a couple of years and fairly familiar with its behaviour and habits it is very unusual for the car to get this hot , It was 39c which is damn hot 🔥 but has been in that temp before never bothered it, Radiator flush and coolent change in order me thinks. Oh and my Porka is Basalt Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
