Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I need to change the coolant on my 2001 996 turbo. I have been told I need a G12 standard coolant - is this correct? Also, have been told you use this neat and must not be dilluted with water as I have read this is a big no on 996 engines. Could anyone let me know if this information is correct before I replace the anti-freeze. Have read articles in magazines, drivers manual and 996 books and they all seem to contradict themselves on type and mix of anti-freeze - has anyone got a straight answer - thanks - Adam.
