Disappearing coolant leak?

[bcrdukes]

If that includes a full flushing of the coolant, that sounds about right. Make sure the shop is using original Porsche or VW/Audi coolant.

Yes, that also includes a complete flushing of the system and replacement of Porsche OEM coolant. I was told the filling process is very specific and proceedural to get it right. While I'm sure that if one wants to tackle it themselves they'd "save money"...assuming you have the tools, equipment, knowlege and desire.....I don't. I also accept the fact that IF I use a professional shop, they deserve to make a profit.

I save money by doing the things I can do myself, (grass cutting, landscaping, house painting, deck work, etc etc)........so I have the $$$ to pay others to be "grease monkey's"...lol.....but thanks for the feedback.

Hey Rob175,
Nothing wrong with paying someone else to do work you can't or don't want to do.
That's what keeps the economy going. I just like to do car work myself because I can.
The money I save I just gets spent on something else

Boom! I'm with ya.

Helps that wrenching, for me, is a hobby and stress reliever.

I'll pay the yard guy to cut grass, trim, blow... as I find zero satisfaction is doing that job. Unless absolutely necessary, I'm not paying anyone $100-$150 an hour to work on a 20+ year old car that's worth hardly anything.

$1350 for WP, thermo, and coolant flush? LOL. **************** that.

$15 an hour to schlep around the yard? Yeah, I'll pay that.

I wish I had the ability, tools and facility to do some DIY work but I just don't.....and I don't have anyone to to ask for help. If you do, you're lucky!

It's all good. Each of us has different strengths and abilities. I'm sure some of us pay lots of money for something you can easily do. Like Blue62 said, that's what keeps the economy going.

The important thing is that you still enjoy the car, and if it's worth it to you to have someone wrench it, go right ahead. No judgement here!

Well said, Piper.
