Description of the problem	Coolant lines / fittings welded/ pinned - mk2 mezger engine has a faulty design of coolant hoses/lines. Upon research online, i am not the only person affected but all turbo/gt3/rs/gt2 cars from 2004-current i have also come across cars with less than 10k miles that had this problem so my problem is not isolated. There has been incidence on highway where these hoses just burst or loses fitting and spills coolant contents all over the road. This also cause car to spin out since lost in pressure and traction. Very dangerous. Porsche dealer will only use different glue to fit them. Proper way is not use rubber hose but to use metal pipes and weld them so these coolant lines do not ever fall out. This could have caused catastrophic injury in public road. Porsche denies any faulty or sub-standard material that was used in a critical component of high performance engine. In order for me to fix this, i have to pay my porsche mechanic to remove the engine, find the coolant lines, replace all of the hoses with metal pipe lines, weld them, then put it back in the engine bay. I feel that i should have to pay for this out of pocket for safety of myself or others in public road. Porsche suggested that they will use the same rubber hoses with just a better adhesive glue to hold them. They will fail within time. This is a temporary fix they are offering. It is for safety of the motorist.
