Specifications & Drive Belt Routing - 911 CARRERA (996): Description

Porsche 911 uses a cross-flow cooling system with fully integrated coolant management. This highly effective technology is specifically designed to ensure optimum heat dispersal on all six cylinders. All coolant passages are integrated in engine castings, thereby eliminating any need for external hoses. Cross-flow cooling provides a direct flow of coolant to each cylinder, ensuring that coolant has not been pre-warmed. Originally developed for Formula One, this solution offers exceptional reliability, as well as minimal maintenance requirements. System also includes a dedicated oil/water heat exchanger, providing direct engine oil cooling. Coolant is circulated through cooling system via a belt driven water pump. Depending on transmission, 911 uses twin radiator modules located behind each front wheel. On vehicles equipped with Triptronic transmission an additional radiator module is located at center front of vehicle is used.
