  1. Agree to disagree I blew a main coolant line the first two weeks I owned the car (previous owner barely drove it) car sat for 5yrs and he only put 1k on it in that time! So after JB welding the main coolant line back in which took me 2hrs. I began researching the cost to have all the lines TAC welded or tap and screwed bcs Porsche is notorious for coolant line leaks due to over pressure in the system. That was going to cost a grand total of $4-5k to have Porsche drop the engine and do the work and in the end they still couldn't guarantee that would solve the issue! So I found Evans Waterless coolant contacted a distributor in Montreal who were very helpful and stated I didn't need to use the pre flush all I had to do was get most of the water out of the system and was aloud 3% water left! If I was worried I didn't get it all out run the Evans Coolant through the system drain it let it sit in open container over night to allow the water to evaporate then refill the system! I agree it does take time to disconnect every coolant line and drain the car I raised the front and rear of my car a few times to make sure I drained it out! Since I have swapped out the coolant I haven't had a single leak of smell of coolant and I track my car a lot! I've tested the zero PSI after a 30min run at high speeds in 38+degree weather I opened the engine cover and removed the coolant cap while car was still running....the pressure in the system was that of a pop can! So if u haven't ever used Evans coolant it's kinda hard to slag the product I swear by it and run it in my 2001 Cherokee XJ rock crawler as well which is another veh known for poor cooling issues! It used to over heat w stock rad and the smell of coolant was a normal occurrence....now issue is gone and no more smell or bubbling radiator noises.. Say what U want I was only making a suggestion if your going to complain about something have a solution....I've found a solution that's been working for over 2yrs! MTC:)
  2. Switch to Evans Waterless coolant I did that last year after researching the Hell out of it.......Jay Leno swears by it and my engine temps have have actually dropped! With a boiling point of 375 degrees at zero PSI and lifetime use!
