Xmas 2022 suggestions for the DIY'r
I'll start.
vacuum refill for coolant.
I've got three 2015 VAGs (2 golf's and the q7) that I probably should do a coolant change on.... plus the '01 Boxster that I've had since 2009... on the spring to-do list.

what a bout an extractor pump for oil changes ??? would save pulling the under body pans every time you need an oil change

wait..... we're supposed to do oil changes? I thought we were just supposed to top up... :P (if you didn't fix your b8 a4, you would just do top ups as well)
the golf tdi, boxster & Miata are bottom oil filters

This kit looks pretty good. I saw one at Princess Auto that didn't have nearly as many fittings and fill devices
Edit: the reviews are actually pretty bad. Cheap plastic and ill fitting connectors

@theiceman I was actually just looking on that for my 2015 GTI. No more cold garage floor for me lol
yeah as pointed out a lot depends where the filter is. i cant do cold garage floors any more either.. my A4 is right up top so its nice.

Deleted my post as this kit is only for pressure testing - it doesn't do the refilling - sorry for any confusion this may ahve caused.

The reviews on this vacuum and filling kit from 8milelake are much better than the first one posted...cost is $72.59
It doesn't specifically name Porsche in the applicable vehicle list, it does say VW if that's of any relevance.
I have posted the question about using it on Porsche vehicles on Amazon
Better Vacuum Kit ?

Here's a few different tool ideas that a lot of people won't already have unlike the stupid usual lists out there:

Spend a few bucks more are get a Airlift ..... The fittings make a much better seal than the knock off's I was lucky to find one from a guy for $100 used once and it had been excellent. My friend has the knock off and he borrowed mine and he said it worked much better.

Where can one buy an Airlift?
