Purchased vehicle from porsche dealer on jan 2 2017 and operated it 1600 miles before it blew a coolant fitting and expelled coolant all over the road , rear tire, and rear of car. I was on a busy interstate on ramp and heard the belts squeal and saw steam in the rear view mirror. I could have very easily lost traction if there were no cars ahead of me going slow. Luckily was able to pull over immediately and turn the car off before causing engine damage. No one behind me lost traction in the slick coolant fortunately . Extremely dangerous condition that could easily cause a serious accident.…

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.

All connection pieces that connect to a rubber hose are leaking. The pipe that comes out of the casting is glued from the factory. After time the tube will move and water starts coming out in between the pipe and the casting. You an go to this web address and se what I'm raking about. This from what I have heard and now my on car is something that happens to all 2007 porsche turbo engines. The problem is that the car is out of warranty and porsche doesn't want to fix it under warranty. I'm getting it fixed now and cost is going to be over $2,000.00 dollars. Just like the ims bearing failure on…
