Coolant flush with vacuum fill tool
ca996 replied to mtimmy's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I wrote up the instructions for a complete draining (but for a Boxster), but I can't find it in the posts. I will search some more and let you know if I find it. For the UView, you don't have to completely drain all the coolant out for the vacuum method to work but it works really, really well if it is all drained out. If it's not, it will still work very well but you may have to crank up the vacuum twice. I've done it both ways (not by choice the second time with a partial drain) and it's a pleasure using that tool. Regards, Maurice. Thanks Maurice, let me know what you find. I tried filling with the UView with a half full system, the reserviour filled to max (it sucked in about 2 gallons) but the hoses are still collapsed and the pressure on the UView guage is at 15. I'm stuck. -

Loren (or anyone), I have a 2000 996. Just replaced water pump/thermostat. Potential coolant mixing issue. Regarding draining, I've seen the various posts here relating to this but none with complete drain instructions. Would you mind posting specific instructions on the drain/flush procedure to remove ALL of the coolant? Also, does the system need to be completely drained for the vaccuum method to work to put in the new coolant or is it ok to apply vaccuum and fill with a half full system? (I have the UView tool.) Thank you, Bill
