I replaced my coolant a year/half ago when I installed the LN low temp t-stat...yes, a lot comes out and I replaced it with the Porsche OEM product. It's not hard to bleed the system; I simply drove around for a few days heat cycling the system with the bleeder valve open and eventually all the air came out. I guess I'll be doing it again this spring when I replace my original 9 year old water pump (with 19k miles) since Jake has warned this is a ticking time bomb (didn't know at the time).

So, don't be fearful of removing the hoses...might be a good time to buy one of the vacuum bleeders?
