I don't understand the coolant bleeder/tank system - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

So...... Do vacuum tools help in the draining / flushing of the system in any way or do you still need to go through the routine of removing hoses, tilting the car etc or is there a method of forcing the coolant out through a single drain point on the car?
Seems to me that the draining is the time consuming part.

The draining does not change; however, the refill is a 5 min. and you are done proposition with the Uview vacuum system.

Thanks for that. You are always willing to help and are a great asset to the forum and boxster owners in general. I for one very much appreciate it.

Regarding JFP, totally agree. We'd be lost without his experience. Most of us only have experience of one car and do the job 1 time. He has thousands ! Yet noobs still dicker with his advice - hilarious !
JFP has a business to run yet still finds time to help us. Amazing dedication . See him over on RennTech also. No bad behavior tolerated on Renntech so it is a refreshing change sometimes.
I used the U View over the weekend. I am puzzled about how it works when the thermosat is closed. But it does. I guess it may work better with a warm engine ?
