Consumer Description

COOLANT HOSE FAILURE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUN MEDIUM/HARD. I LOST 1/2 LITER THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES IN TOTAL, AND ROUGHLY 1 LITER OF COOLANT THE LAST TIME, ALL OVER THE EXHAUST AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL TIRE. LUCKY I DID NOT SPIN OUT OR HAVE MANY CARS BEHIND ME. I CAPTURED PICTURES OF THE LAST LEAK AFTER RETURNING TO MY GARAGE ON 05/03/2013. PRIOR TO THE LAST LEAK, I HAD THE FRONT RADIATOR REPLACED AND THE PORSCHE MECHANIC PRESSURE TESTED THE COOLANT SYSTEM TO ENSURE THERE WERE NO LEAKS, AS I HAD MENTIONED IT WOULD LEAK FROM NEAR THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE. HE DID NOT FIND ANY LEAKS WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF AND PRESSURE TESTED. *TR
