Porsche Macan coolant

[thevan]

Good evening

My coolant requires a slight top up. I'd say it's a pink colour.

The manual refers to official Porsche product which an internet search fails to locate.

Any ideas please or do I need to phone a stealer?

Slight ?

Just add water.

Distilled?

Distilled will work. Just need to be careful because although the coolant level can read just below the minimum it can take several litres to fill it up.

Porscheshop sell it as do the OPC. Porsche shop was v expensive though as it was about £15 for a litre (mix 50:50) so can get 2 litres from it but suspect OPC might be a bit cheaper

When you top up keep an eye on that level closely.

When they couldn’t find the cause, Had an inde try and tell me it was normal. Despite putting a few litres in over a few weeks. Porsche said topping up between services is absolutely not normal. Turned out I did have leaks, faulty cap that was really bizarre, you had to press it just a certain way. Then a year later some pipes.

It’s why I trusted that opc and not the indi.

Thanks everyone

£12 for a litre at Porsche Hatfield.

I'll swing by and pick some up.

Buy the appropriate BASF Glysantin for Porsche. Could be G40, as for my 996, but you will need to check. The Porsche stuff is not specially triple distilled.
