Thanks, based on the information I have been reading on Renntech Porsche switched to the pink stuff in 2002 and can be mixed in and used together with the yellow stuff.

I find it hard to check coolant level with the yellow stuff through the tank if not well lit, maybe the pink helps.

Suggestion

The coolant on the right in that picture looks like it needs changing, not like it is yellow stuff that is still useable.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I ordered 1 gallong of the Porsche coolant per part number that was given to me on this board 000-043-301-05 from Pelican parts. When I compared with the existing coolant in the car the color is different. The existing stuff is yellow color, and the new stuff I just received is pink. The bottle also have no mention of G12, just says G-30-91-EF Any ideas? Should I mix this with the existing coolant? Thanks

POST 2Original post

after picking up my car from the shop (coolant -tank crack) i noticed the new coolant color is pink.. but regardless, there is a discussion on this on renntech

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Actually the coolant doesn't look that bad, the reason why it looks dirty in the pictures is because that's the bucket I had under the engine while I was chaning out the SAI valve, I accentally broken one of the coolant connecting bracket and the coolant spilled out through the engine bay and picked up a lot of debris along the way.

POST 7Original post

regardless of pink or yellow, after a while doesnt the heat change it to green? (Total novice question)

POST 8Original post

No, the green is a different color of coolant, and the oxidation turns it to orange.

POST 9Original post

G30 is the same as G12/G12+. You got the right coolant.

POST 10Original post

really - when my coolant all leaked out it was green... what gives?

POST 11Original post

I dont know, but it was my understanding that Porsche coolant & "others" should not be mixed.......can anybody verify this???

POST 12Original post

Mine is yellow, bought from the dealer last year.

POST 13Original post

Any G12 or G12+ coolant can be used. VW also uses it. G12 is pink and G12+ is purple. It's OK to mix G12 with G12+. G12+ is an compatible with G11 and G12 is not. Generally green coolant is the old type with silicates, more suitable for iron block engines.
