Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

It helps to get the coolant fill "bucket" above the level of the car while filling, and also tilt the front end of car down, have the butt sticking up.

Hello, I am going to install a new water pump in my 996 this winter and I am planning on purchasing the UView 550000 to ensure there are no air pockets in the system once I change the pump.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, I am going to install a new water pump in my 996 this winter and I am planning on purchasing the UView 550000 to ensure there are no air pockets in the system once I change the pump. Is it essential that all of the coolant needs to be drained to use this? Also does the thermostat need to be removed when using this system? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

No, you don't need to remove all of the coolant to use the system, nor does the thermostat need to be removed. -Shawn

POST 3Original post

+1 to shawn's post. That being said, the more coolant you can get out, the more effective it will be. However, it is extremely difficult to get all 6+ gallons of coolant out without removing the front radiators and blowing out the lines. DO turn on your heater while bleeding. It helps to get the coolant fill "bucket" above the level of the car while filling, and also tilt the front end of car down, have the butt sticking up. Other than that follow the directions with the 55500000000 unit and you'll be fine.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sounds good, so just turn the ignition on and the heater without the car running? Sounds simple enough to me... Thank you gentleman.

POST 5Original post

Yes. That will open the mixture flap and allow the heater core to be bled and filled.
