Consumer Description

THE PORSCHE 996 GT3 MOTORS HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG OWNERS. THE COOLANT FITTINGS ARE EPOXIED TO THE ENGINE AND UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURE/PRESSURE USAGE, THEY ARE KNOWN TO COME LOSE AND/OR DETACH COMPLETELY CAUSING COOLANT SPILL ALL OVER THE TIRES AND ROAD AND DEPRIVE THE ENGINE FROM COOLANT. THIS CAUSES THE CAR THE LOSE CONTROL AND IS DANGEROUS FOR ANY CARS BEHIND THE CAR THIS HAPPENED TO. MY CAR HAS THIS ENGINE AND AS PREVENTATIVE SAFELY MAINTENANCE, I HAVE PAID AN INDEPENDENT SHOP KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO WELD MY FITTINGS. *TR
