COOLANT COLOUR - 996

[Vesuvius996]

Hello all.

I notice that the the coolant from the bottle I bought from Porsche is green, but that the coolant in my tank (40,000 miles) is an amber colour.

It is not a froth - in no way is the liquid greasy or any sort of emulsion - it is clear and clean, and there is no scum under the oil filler cap, so I am sure that there is no question of the oil and water mixing, but justa quick straw poll - is everyone else's coolant bright green?

Do I have a problem?

Vesuvius i dont think you have anything to worry about and if you arent sure take it down to opc and make them work for the cash you gave them.Nerv sounds good keep the miles down and you 'l do ok at resale,good buy.

[Vesuvius996]
