2000 Carrera 2 coupe 6 speed: coolant system dye quantity

[Philip54]

My 996 is finally in the shop for replacing the AC evaporator and the engine coolant.

Dyes will be added both the coolant and the AC refrigerant.  The instructions for the Uview coolant dye that I have purchased call for adding one FL ounce of dye to a ‘standard automotive radiator system’.   It seems to me that the radiator system of the 996 is anything but standard, because it has a capacity of about 3 times the capacity of a typical 2 liter car.  I plan on adding three FL ounces of dye instead of one.   

Does this seem right? Unfortunately Uview does not provide a dye/coolant ratio.

I would start with two Oz.  The only thing the dye concentration impacts is how brightly the coolant is florescent under UV light, so an exact ratio is not critical.

I will use two Oz.

You will be fine; a very little of this stuff goes a long way 😉
