What I mean, is that there are no pics showing the instructions I'm expecting pics showing me where to find the drain plug, pisc showing how to go about getting a complete flush, may I'm reading this wrong, should there be a link?

thanks

for those of you that have an air compressor...

Good info and definitely something to think about. It shouldn't be too difficult to fab something up....

on the 1st page there are pictures, step by step. the drain plug is an allen screw, you cant miss it once you take the cover off.
go to 1st page, if you have slow connection, wait and the pics will load up

Hi,

Just remember to keep the Pressure to 13PSI or lower to avoid splitting any hoses or blowing the Waterpump gasket...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Doesn't Porsche say the coolant system is maintence free and never needs flushed?
