dear members,

my car is one and half year old. if i'm right, i remember being able to

see the coolant through its plastic shell as blue/green.

my car doesn't go out a lot; i was unable to drive for quite long and she stayed

in the garage; as i'm back and drive it again, i noticed that the coolant's colour

tend to look green/yellow through the plastic container.

i'm not strong enough to open the container for now :( and can't tell you

exactly what the colour is.

Anyway, I would be curious to know if the colour mutation is normal, from

this blue to a yellow/green. Knowing that in theory, the liquid doesn't have

to be changed, I find this disturbing. :help:

thank you to let me know what you've experienced

Thank you for the photos Tool Pants. It's interesting to see the degradation of those colours.

I hope the coolant fluid keeps its function, I mean the whole chemistry of the fluid remains

intact; if I am correct, the coolant lifetime is supposed to be equal to the car's. Still, I wonder...

The Porsche service manual says:

The engine cooling system is factory-filled with a coolant which does not need to be changed. The coolant should not be mixed with other coolants.

Only Original Porsche anti-freeze should be used when changing or topping up the coolant.

Hi Loren,

Thank you for your very accurate extract. I was on the verge to change the coolant... :notworthy:
