Diagram ref no 1
What This Product Does
The radiator transfers heat from the circulating engine coolant to the surrounding airflow. This helps the water-cooling system regulate engine temperature during normal driving, low-speed operation and higher engine loads.
Functions
- Releases heat carried by the engine coolant.
- Supports stable coolant and engine operating temperatures.
- Works with the radiator fan and air guide to provide cooling airflow.
- Maintains coolant circulation through the front cooling assembly.
- Provides a replacement for a leaking, blocked or physically damaged radiator.
Technical Details
- OE reference 99610613174: left-hand radiator.
- OE reference 99610613272: right-hand radiator.
- Verified applications include 996 C4S and Turbo, 997.1 Turbo and GT2 with M97.70 engine, 997.2 Turbo 3.8L and 997.2 GT2 RS 3.6L.
- The radiator fan, air guide, supports, hoses and mounting components form part of the surrounding cooling assembly and should be inspected separately.
- Diagram Ref No 1.
Symptoms of Fault
- Coolant staining or dampness around the radiator core or end-tank seams.
- A sweet coolant smell or puddles beneath the front of the vehicle.
- Repeated low-coolant warnings or an unexplained drop in coolant level.
- Rising temperature in traffic, under load or at motorway speeds.
- Cooling fans operating more frequently than expected.
- Corroded, blocked, bent or damaged radiator fins.
- Coolant residue collecting on the front undertrays.
- Gurgling after shutdown where air has entered the cooling system.
Why Replacement Matters
A leaking or restricted radiator reduces the system’s ability to remove heat from the coolant. Continued coolant loss can introduce air into the system and lead to unstable operating temperatures. Replacement restores the integrity of the affected cooling circuit, while inspection of the hoses, joints, fan and mounting hardware can identify related age or impact damage.
FAQs
- Are the left and right radiators interchangeable?
No. Each side has a separate OE reference, so confirm the required position against the vehicle and existing component. - Can a radiator be restricted without leaking?
Yes. Internal deposits or external debris between the fins can reduce heat transfer without producing a visible coolant leak. - How can a radiator leak be distinguished from a hose leak?
Radiator faults commonly leave residue around the core or end-tank seams, while hose leaks tend to appear around connections. A cooling-system pressure test can help locate the source. - Should the hoses be checked during replacement?
Yes. Inspect nearby hoses, clamps, seals and mountings for ageing, cracking or coolant residue before reassembly. - Why can overheating be more noticeable in traffic?
Natural airflow is reduced at low speed, increasing reliance on the radiator core and electric cooling fan.

Diagram Ref No 2
Mounted at the front of the vehicle behind the right-hand coolant radiator, the fan draws air through the radiator whenever natural airflow created by vehicle movement is insufficient.
This is particularly important when the vehicle is:
Idling.
Moving slowly.
Sitting in traffic.
Operating in hot weather.
Running the air-conditioning system.
Recovering from sustained high-load driving.
Porsche's water-cooled engines depend on continuous circulation of coolant through the front-mounted radiators. At normal road speed, forward movement provides substantial airflow through the radiator cores. When road speed falls, however, the electric cooling fans must provide the airflow needed to remove heat from the coolant.
A worn or failed right-hand fan can therefore allow engine temperature to rise during low-speed driving even though the cooling system may appear normal at higher speeds.
Replacing a defective fan helps restore correct airflow through the right-hand radiator and supports stable engine temperature, air-conditioning performance and overall cooling-system reliability.
What This Product Does:
The right-hand radiator fan moves ambient air through the right-side coolant radiator.
Its main functions are to:
- Draw cooling air through the radiator.
- Maintain coolant temperature at low road speeds.
- Provide cooling while the vehicle is stationary.
- Supplement natural airflow.
- Help prevent overheating in traffic.
- Support the cooling system during hot-weather operation.
- Assist cooling when air-conditioning demand is high.
- Work together with the opposite-side cooling fan.
- Maintain reliable engine cooling under changing operating conditions.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Possible symptoms include:
- Engine temperature rising in slow traffic.
- Temperature normal at speed but increasing at idle.
- Right-hand fan not operating.
- One cooling fan running while the other remains stationary.
- Intermittent fan operation.
- Fan running slowly.
- Grinding or rumbling noises.
- Squealing.
- Excessive vibration.
- Fan blades wobbling.
- Fan stopping after becoming hot.
- Electrical burning smell.
- Blown fuse.
- Overheated electrical connector.
- Air-conditioning performance becoming poor while stationary.
- Engine overheating during low-speed driving.
Why Replacement Matters:
Replacing a worn or failed Radiator Water Fan helps restore:
- Correct radiator airflow.
- Stable coolant temperature.
- Reliable low-speed cooling.
- Balanced left/right radiator airflow.
- Reduced overheating risk.
- Correct cooling performance in traffic.
- Proper electrical fan operation.
- Reliable air-conditioning heat-exchanger airflow.

Why Replacement Matters:
- Plastic spreader rivets are exposed to continual vibration, moisture, dirt, road salt and changing temperatures. Over time, the plastic material can become brittle, crack or lose its retaining strength, particularly after repeated removal during servicing or repairs.
- A damaged or missing rivet can allow trim panels, undertrays or liners to move excessively, creating rattles, poor panel alignment and, in some cases, complete detachment while driving. Missing fasteners can also place additional stress on surrounding clips and mounting points, increasing the likelihood of further damage.
- Replacing worn or damaged fasteners with the OE Match Plastic Spreader Rivet restores the secure attachment of body and trim components while maintaining the original appearance and fitment of your Porsche. Manufactured to OE standards from durable automotive-grade materials, it provides reliable retention, straightforward installation and long-lasting performance across a wide variety of applications.

OEMatch Water / Coolant Radiators — Fit, Function, Confidence
OEMatch supplies water and coolant radiators for Porsche models. Radiators control engine temperature by transferring heat from coolant to air, helping to prevent overheating and limiting thermal stress on engine components. This overview explains common types, failure modes and what to check when a Porsche radiator needs replacement.
Available Types
- Aluminium-core radiators with welded construction for efficient heat transfer
- Radiators with reinforced end tanks for higher-load or heavy-use applications
- Application-specific units for transaxle and front-engine Porsche models, including designs tuned for cooling capacity and packaging
Understanding OEMatch Water / Coolant Radiators
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original water and coolant radiators. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the water and coolant radiators and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM water and coolant radiators engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Radiators move heat from the engine coolant into the airstream via a core of tubes and fins; end tanks and joints direct flow and sustain pressure. Materials and construction influence resistance to corrosion, mechanical damage and thermal cycling. OEMatch catalogues thousands of part numbers and OE cross-references to support coverage across Porsche model lines and continues to expand its range for long-term vehicle support.
Benefits Include
- Restored cooling efficiency and consistent engine temperature control
- Reduced risk of overheating and related engine damage
- Improved longevity through corrosion-resistant materials and quality joins
Why Water / Coolant Radiators Wear and Fail
- Corrosion and internal scale from old or contaminated coolant
- Leaks from cracked tanks, damaged cores or failed seals and joints
- Blockages caused by debris, oil contamination or coolant breakdown products
- Physical damage from road debris or impact
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Water / Coolant Radiators
A compromised radiator reduces cooling capacity and raises the risk of overheating, which can lead to costly engine repairs and degraded performance. Choosing a replacement designed for Porsche applications restores correct coolant flow and heat transfer, maintains engine operating temperature and supports reliable day-to-day use and spirited driving alike.
Advantages
- Aluminium cores and precision joins that support efficient heat exchange
- Reinforced end tanks and durable connections for leak resistance
- Manufactured to original-spec dimensions and tolerances so fitment aligns with factory mounting and cooling system routing
