| Description of the problem | Due to a number of reported failures of the engine coolant lines on these vehicles (see http://forums. Rennlist. Com/rennforums/997-gt2-gt3-forum/592328-catastrophic-coolant-hose-coupling-failure-registry. Html for reference), i had a preventative procedure performed where the coolant lines were welded into place. It seems that the adhesive which holds the lines in the engine fails and allows the lines to break away from the engine, causing a large coolant loss and potentially an accident. I have had a local shop repair this issue by welding the lines into place on the engine. |
