PROBLEM SIMILAR TO CASE PE13009 INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN COOLANT LOSS WHICH OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS WELL UNDER HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT (LESS THAN 60MPH). THE PROBLEM OCCUR SUDDEN WITH NO WAY TO AVOID AND CHECK PRIOR INCIDENT HAPPEN. THIS COULD CAUSE HUGE ISSUE TO OTHER MOTORWAY DRIVERS AND I HOPE PORSCHE USA CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. *TR
SUDDEN, CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF COOLANT HOSE 996.106.502.74 BY LONGITUDINAL SPLIT APPROXIMATELY 4" LONG. COOLANT DUMPED ON LR WHEEL CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL AND VEHICLE SPIN. *TR
WATER MANIFOLD HAS PRESS-FIT EPOYY CONNECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO COME LOOSE. MINE DID AND I LOST ALL OF MY COOLANT. IT BLEW ACROSS THE WHOLE ENGINE BAY AND OVER BACK TIRES. VERY DANGEROUS AS A CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL BEHIND ME AS WELL. TOOK ENGINE APART AND WELDED TWO OF THE FITTINGS BUT SEVERAL OTHERS REMAIN OEM. EXPENSIVE FIX THUS FAR, AND NOT YET DONE. VERY POOR DESIGN AND DANGEROUS!! *TR
