Actually, the tool is very available elsewhere from a company called Uview in Canada. You can pick up their system online for about $100 (compared to over $500 from Porsche). Their system is well made and works very well; takes about 5 min. to evacuate the system, pressure test and refill with fresh coolant mix. No muss or fuss; no "burping" the system or running around with the purge valve open. The Uview will also work on anything with a cooling system while the Porsche tool is Porsche only. Good tool investment, particularly when you find out that dealers and independents get $300-400 to flush the system once.
