996 AND 997 coolant fittings

[emayer]

My car hasn't puked (yet), but I share Nick's concerns and have taken the precaution of swapping coolant.  It's one thing to ball up one's own car, but I'd hate to be responsible for others enduring the same fate.  As the 997 series ages I fear this will be an increasing problem.

In the interest of mutual safety, one would hope that owners would take the extra precaution of changing coolant, but as we are all aware that isn't always the case.  There could be a legitimate argument made that for higher run groups coolant be eliminated regardless of vehicle type.  It's an extra nuisance to perform each season but not cost prohibitive.
