Consumer Description

WE FOUND A HUGE LEAK IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED, A PORSHE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THAT ON THE COOLANT DISTRIBUTOR BEHIND THE ENGINE THERE IS A COUPLER WHICH WAS GLUED ONTO THE DISTRIBUTOR. THE GLUE DETACHED AND THE COOLANT PIPE BLEW OUT CAUSING THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO LOSE COOLANT. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A PURE DESIGN ISSUE AND PORSCHE DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON IT. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX THAT PROBLEM DUE TO BAD DESIGN. *TR
