At Porsche of the Main Line in Newtown Square PA, we recommend getting a coolant flush every two years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. While most Philadelphia Porsche owners are conscientious about getting a regular oil change, a coolant flush is required less often and can sometimes get overlooked. But it's still an essential part of vehicle maintenance that can help your Porsche run longer and perform more reliably.
The reason contaminants can build up in your coolant, or antifreeze, is because that fluid gradually loses its anti-corrosive properties as it ages. A coolant flush gets rid of those contaminants and a fresh dose of coolant helps keep them away.
Rust and foam are two other unwanted elements that can build up over time in your antifreeze. A flush eliminates them both and the refill is like a good nutrition drink for your radiator.
Coolant that's been sitting in your radiator too long can start turning acidic. Once that happens, the acid particles may start to clump. That's something else that will get flushed out right before your radiator gets filled with fresh new antifreeze.
Even in a Philadelphia winter, Porsche drivers want the engine to cool properly. When you allow us to get rid of the old coolant and replace it with fresh new fluid, you're flushing out debris and restoring your car's heat transferring capability. That helps lengthen the life of your engine.
Another uninvited guest in your coolant is foam and that can happen when your antifreeze gets contaminated. A coolant flush sends all that foam packing and allows the fresh new antifreeze to work better for you.
High quality coolant contains additives that help lubricate your water pump, which is another vital part of your Porsche's cooling system. A regular flush of your cooling system increases the life expectancy of your water pump.
Flushing your radiator helps clean out your entire cooling system, and that includes the water pump and its components. Your water pump can take on rust deposits with the passage of time and a good flush lets you bid a fond farewell to rust. That helps your water pump function better and last longer.
Replacing a Porsche water pump is something you don't want to do very often. One of the best ways to help your water pump keep pumping faithfully is with a regular coolant flush. Because old coolant takes on contaminants over time, that debris can start to settle into the pump seal. That, in turn, can cause scratching and damage the sealing surface, which can lead to early pump failure. A coolant flush helps prevent that.

Your coolant is also antifreeze that prevents the water in your radiator from freezing when Philadelphia temperatures drop into the frigid zone. Antifreeze lowers the freezing point of the water and helps maintain an even temperature in your engine.
When we do a radiator coolant flush, we look at your Porsche's entire cooling system. We check the water pump and the radiator and we also do pressure testing to check for leaks. It's like giving your cooling system a good physical to help it last longer. Schedule a coolant flush soon at Porsche of the Main ine in Newtown Square PA.
