richardjjs Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Is this a 986 or early 997.1 - Pressure release valve under Oil and Coolant filler in Boot Leter 997.1 have valve in Engine Compatment When it all done jack up the back of the car it makes it much eassier OPen the release valve and just run the car I have never had to use special tools BUT do check the coolant regularly and carry at least 2 litres with you If you jack the car up from behind when you have the hose off it will help get rid of the old coolant Halfords do a great deal on COMMA G40 Extreme Concentrate buy in 5 litres (or 20 on line) You will need 10 lites of Concentrate or 20 litres of Mixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
