Coolant evacuator/refiller


Recommended Posts

I would like to change the coolant in my 1998 Boxster, and I would like to do it the correct way, using a vaccuum to draw out the old coolant and draw in the new.

I thought I recalled seeing on this Board that someone had bought an aftermarket evacuator/refiller, but using the Search function, I can't find it.

Can someone fill me in? Has anyone actually bought one of these devices? How do they work?

There is a device now used by the dealers. That is the first pic.

A local independent shop created their own version, I think they said, but it looks like a UView to me. That is second pic.

I have considered UView because I like tools. http://www.uview.com/homepage.html You can also find it on ebay.

You need an air compressor.

I think someone in the 996 section said they bought the factory version but I do not remember for sure.
