Consumer Description

THE COOLANT LINE CONNECTORS THAT COME OUT OF THE ENGINE / BLOCK ARE DISLODGING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCKS AND BLOWING OUT ALL OF THE COOLANT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. PORSCHE USED SOME SORT OF ADHESIVE TO HOLD THE CONNECTORS IN THE BLOCK INSTEAD OF WELDING THEM IN; AS THE CARS AGE AND GO THROUGH LOTS OF HEAT CYCLES, THE ADHESIVE IS WEARING OUT AND THE CONNECTORS ARE BLOWING OUT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING A MASSIVE COOLANT DUMP WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IF TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. *TR
