Consumer Description

PORSCHE GT1 ENGINE PRESS FIT COOLANT COUPLING FAILURE. HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT COUPLER FAILS CAUSING RAPID LOSS OF ALL COOLANT. THIS IS NOT ONLY A TOXIC HAZARD, BUT A SAFETY CONCERN ON THE ROAD. FURTHER, LOSS OF COOLANT JEOPARDIZES ENGINE LIFE. THE GT1 ENGINE HAS 8 PRESS FIT COUPLINGS. SO FAR, 2 DIFFERENT COUPLINGS HAVE FAILED ON MY CAR. 1 ON THE HEAT EXCHANGER, AND 1 ON THE STEERING PUMP HOUSING. *TR
