So this week I plan on doing my first oil change (thanks to everyone with the help on that thread) and thought while I'm giving her a bit of TLC I'll go a step further and do some additional work.
Noticed my coolant level was getting quite low and I've no idea what coolant was last used so plan on doing a flush and re-fill too.
As I'm draining the system I guess this is a perfect time to also fit a low temp thermostat but due to the age/mileage should I also consider replacing the water pump? It's a 2002 996 C2 with almost 89k miles.
Anything else I should look to consider doing whilst the system is drained?
I'll be following the guides on GT4's write up here and also the guides on pelican parts
