EDIT: and what color is phosphate - free coolent? (in other words, what color is he using?)

The instructions posted show the following:

Crack open the coolant system high point vent. This is a 12mm bolt located on the coolant nozzle at the front of the cylinder head. It will be near the #1 plug. On the Turbo models the bolt is on the side of the nozzle. On NA models it is on the top of the nozzle.

Since it mentions a difference for the Turbo model, I'd have to assume it's for both. I've only done this once before and as I recall the instructions are correct - but it's been several years and I'm getting older. Sometimes I think I've got CRS disease (Can't Remeber $hit).

The color of a phosphate-free coolant varies. I used orange, but other colors are available.
Check the fine print on the label for "phosphate-free", and do NOT trust statements "safe for all engines"...

FWIW, I have phosphate free coolant on my car and it's the same old boring green... So it would depend on the brand.

The orange phosphate free prestone works well...
