I had to do a top up 1ltr of water without any coolant.

What coolant are people using? 997 turbo

Cheers, I know it might be a stupid question but it's early 🤓🤓

Do you dilute it or use it neat?

Halfords sell premixed Comma G40. Think it costs somewhere around £16 / 2L
 
If you need to top up, I would just buy ready mixed (XSG40M5L) 5L from Halfords/eBay (the 2L bottle Halfords sell is concentrate, and works out expensive)

If you are changing a lot, I would buy concentrate (XSG405L) 5L from eBay (be careful as some will advertise concentrate, and send you ready mixed! - I used seller: rrd-automotive in the end and eventually got what I paid for) and iodised water 5L from Halfords and mix it yourself - you need to mix 50/50.

(Having to top up 1L is likely a sign of a leak somewhere - I know from experience, it took a small leak over 3 years to work out in the end the coolant tank was leaking)
