987 boxster 2.7 fan noise

[craigdonnelly]

hello, I bought my Boxster 987 2.7 on Tuesday night. I have noticed that the fan comes on more than I would expect. For example tonight I drove about half an hour to football. Played football for an hour and returned to the car to go home. I turned the key so that the electrics were on but the engine was not. Straight away I heard the fan come on and looked at the temprature gauge and it was at half way or 80/90 degrees position. I thought that can't be right because the car was stationary for about 60-90 minutes and should have cooled. Any ideas???

Also as a new owner is there anything I should look out for or be aware of? cheers

Thank you for your reply. The fan noise is coming from the rear behind the drivers seat but...

I checked the water and oil levels and the water levels are fine but found "gunk" under the oil filler cap. Also when I opened the "boot" there was condensation above the water/oil cap area. The car is under warranty. Any ideas???

(I took pictures but can't upload for some reason)

SO is the oil filler "silver/grey gunk" normal?

Chipsandcheese that is exactly what my car is doing.
