Coolant Pressure Tester
Bleeding the 944 is no fun. I've read a pressure tester from NAPA helps with this. Well I picked one up and am not sure I have the right one. It's just a hand pump with a gauge that fits the overflow tank. How do I use this thing??? Fill it cold, pump up to 15psi and open bleeder? I don't see the benefit here. I am still making a mess. Sure would be nice to have a REGULAR bleeder screw I can put a hose on. When is Sharky going to start making this for us?

You do the same thing you would when bleeding manually. Pressurize the system, open the bleeder valve until you get a steady stream of coolant (no bubbles) and youre done.
