Ok, turns out I used the wrong coolant then.. (will drain, flush and refill G-05).

I ended up paying 100$ for a mechanic to diagnose the electric system and surprise: it was the alternator. Only way I can explain this to myself is that it must have failed periodically until it fully died (11.5V with engine on) before I brought it in. With new alternator in the battery light is off for the first 30 miles.

Thanks for all your help. If you guys are in Bay Area some time I owe you a beer ;)
