Simple Coolant Question
Can I add water to my existing coolant? I'm a little low and my temp gauge flashed at me this morning.
|
Yes. Use distilled water.
What was the temp when the light flashed? Since you are in a cold climate and get sub freezing temps, you don't want top add a lot of water. A cup or 2 is fine. Beyond that , get some Porsche coolant and mix up some to top off your tank. ****** Warning******* do not mix different coolant types, make sure what ever you are adding is the same type as what is in there, otherwise you could make goo |

How can I tell what the current coolant is? I certainly don't want to make goo! :) Thanks for the info! |
my Porsche shop just uses prestone 50\50...period.
I have always used prestone 50\50 in my Volvo 850 franken-turbo (300+ hp). never had a problem. save yourself some bucks and get the prestone at wally-world.... tim |

Simple coolant answer:
Coolant/Antifreeze |
I read the Pedro note - now I am confused
He stated These coolants can be put on top of the existing Porsche coolant, if needed for a top off, even if it’s a different color, and although Porsche sells it’s coolant as a lifetime product, Then stated Bottom line: Don’t mix different types of antifreeze. |
