Why does the check engine light come on when I start my 718 Spyder?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your 718 Spyder testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Porsche 718 Spyder making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Porsche 718 Spyder engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Porsche 718 Spyder engine?

Can I add water to my Porsche 718 Spyder radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your 718 Spyder radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
