Consumer Description

I NOTICED A SMALL COOLANT LEAK FROM THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THIS LEAK BECAME MORE PROMINENT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT EVALUATED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT 4 OUT OF 6 COOLANT FITTINGS WERE LEAKING. THE DESIGN FROM PORSCHE HAS THE COOLANT HOSES AFFIXED USING AN EPOXY. AFTER MANY HEAT CYCLES AND TIME, THIS EPOXY FAILS AND COOLANT LEAKS FROM THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE MUST BE REMOVED TO PROPERLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT IS GOING TO COST ME APPROXIMATELY $6,000. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS CAR AND IS SOMETHING PORSCHE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. *TR
