Suggestion

You could fill it back up with water (some would say only use distilled) run it up to temp and drain it back out.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just did a coolant drain and replace water pump and thermostat. I got about 5 gallons of coolant out but it is a yellow color. It looks clean but I noticed Porsche OEM is pink. I am worried about mixing these 2 since you never get 100% of all the old coolant out. Should I be worried? Thanks

POST 2Original post

No. But if you are. You could fill it back up with water (some would say only use distilled) run it up to temp and drain it back out. Then put the new stuff in.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good reason below. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php/topic/7640-what-coolant-to-use/page__hl__coolant Will do one vacuum in of pure distilled water and flush just to be sure.
