Description of the problem	While driving, all of the sudden felt a strong coolant smell, slowed down immediately and drove home. Upon further investigation it was discovered that the coupling pipe that inserts into the water distributor was coming out. The glue that held the pipe in place failed and the pipe was 60% out! I stopped in time before the pipe completely blew out and sudden loss of coolant occurred, the pipe was literally finger tight, nothing held it in place anymore. Porsche quotes $3500 to repair!!!! This needs to be a service action clear as day. *js
