What type of coolant do you guys use and were can I get it. I am doing my hoses and want to get rid of the prestone, garbage. I also want to know, where is the drain on the block?

I use Zerex Extreme 5/50000...approved by Porsche.
I get mine at Napa, only place I can find it.

Man, don't screw with the plug on the block. Some
may disagree, it's a royal pain. I did that just one time.
I got the right circlip pliers and I just remove the
thermostat.

IIRC the "best" is the Autobahn brand pink stuff available from your local VW or Audi dealer. I understand it's specially formulated to lengthen the life of your waterpump.
