| Description of the problem | The car was being driven when suddenly the coolant system failed and coolant spilled from under the engine causing my car to skid out of control. The coolant also posed a hazard to other cars on the road due to the extremely slippery nature of the liquid. The car had to be towed to an independent mechanic. The coolant lines had to be replaced and welded rather than the epoxy glue that was used in the original coolant fittings. Porsche dealerships would only use epoxy to seal the fittings which would only eventually lead to another failure. |
