the Bentley service manual provides the full coolant replacement procedures, I used these procedures when I did my water pump and low temp thermostat.

its a little long but very effective. My neighbors were probably wondering why i was revving the engine for 5 minutes.

The procedures are also on the Pelican website

Keep the valve open that is under rubber mat of the filler let the car warm up and rev it for 5 min. Close the valve and you should be good.

A Uview airlift system that refills the entire system under vacuum, eliminating any chance of air pockets. Uview makes the OEM tool for Porsche, but you can buy it from them for about 1/7th what Porsche sells them for.
