Hi Folks

Long time no post! My GTS needs coolant - it's only just a teeny bit under the minimum in the bottle but enough to force the digi-dash to pop up and tell me "Coolant low".

The coolant in the car is light green. I've been told by the folks on the 928 list that we shouldn't mix with other colours except blue and that's fine. The problem is ... I've no idea where to buy this stuff! I've looked at Halfrauds but nothing on their website. Any ideas?

Cheers
Chris

Now there's a name from the past.

How are you?

Hi Dave

Had a small revival of interest in the 928 and have driven it more in the last week that in the last 12 months! Disgraceful - I know. However, life tends to get in the way etc. etc.

I'm desperate to find something to top up my coolant level before I hit the road tomorrow for the South Central meeting but have no idea what to use or where to get it. If I can't find it before we leave, I'll have to ditch the idea of going in the GTS and that will be a shame.

Any ideas?

Kind regards - hope you're doing good!
Chris

Well as its unlikely to freeze in the next week or so top it up with water for now and then when you get the right stuff, drian a little off and top up with 100% correct.

By the way at the NEC we had 7 new members with 928s join and now have over 60 in the club

That's a fantastic number Dave - had no idea it had reached that many.

I think I signed up a handful but they were "red hot" leads passed to me by Paul or Brian. Must say every time I glanced at the top of the stand Paul B seemed to be enrolling another member.
