| Description of the problem | I am concerned that this coolant hose issue will effect my car and cause a safety hazard. I feel that there should be a recall from porsche to fix this. I understand that the engine coolant hose is glued on using epoxy instead of welded or threaded. Also, i don't want to have to shell out $3. 5k to fix this should it fail because my warranty has expired. If the actual engine blows as a result of this failure i am looking at well over $35000 to replace the engine and fix the problem. My engine coolant temperature sensor has already failed and was replaced on 08/17/2012. |
