Consumer Description

PREVIOUS OWNER STATED THAT COOLANT LINES DISCONNECTED DUE TO FAILURE OF THE FITTINGS. COOLANT WAS SPILLED ALL OVER THE ROAD BEHIND HIM. ANOTHER DRIVER BARELY MISSED THE COOLANT BUT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. PORSCHE FIXED THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE FITTINGS WERE NOT WELDED AS THE FIX RECOMMENDS, MERELY RE-GLUED. I'M AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
