| Description of the problem | We found a huge leak in the coolant system while the car was parked, a porshe technician identified that on the coolant distributor behind the engine there is a coupler which was glued onto the distributor. The glue detached and the coolant pipe blew out causing the entire engine to lose coolant. I believe that it is a pure design issue and porsche did not issue a recall on it. It was very expensive to fix that problem due to bad design. |
