Now for your 1st lesson in Porsche maintenance. Whenever a fluid is low, be sure to put the proper replacement in. Many of the fluids are high performance or synthetic and generally not your garden variety type. Always be sure to use the proper fluid. Putting in the wrong type can become a very expensive mistake.

Antifreeze is no exception. Porsche's require a phosphate-free antifreeze. Your garden variety brands contain phosphates and if you add it to a system that requires phosphate-free antifreeze you'll generate a nice gell in your system that will halt any flow. Many European cars, not just Porsches, require phosphate-free anitfreeze.

There are many phosphate-free brands available, including a very spendy Porsche brand. I use Haveline Extended Life (Dex-Cool) antifreeze, which is available at many parts stores.
