Owner report 10372521 · 2010-12-27 (December 27, 2010)
THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 PORSCHE TURBO IS THAT WHEN I GO TO FILL UP GAS THE TANK WILL NOT FILL PASS 2/3 OF THE TANK. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIMES THAT I FILL UP GAS AND PORSCHE HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM. I AM SURE THAT IT IS NOT ONLY MY CAR THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. OUT OF THE MANY TIMES I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ONE TIME THEY CHANGE THE GAS TANK AND RELATING PARTS BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

I LOOKED AT THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WHICH WAS ~1.5-2 INCHES BELOW THE MAX FILL LINE. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO NEW GERMAN PERFORMANCE TO GET CHECKED OUT. I CALLED AND CONFIRMED THEY HAD AN AVAILABILITY. I TURNED ON MY CAR AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER A WARNING POPPED UP STATING "CHECK COOLANT". THE DRIVE WAS ROUGHLY 20 MILES.

PORSCHE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2002-2012 PORSCHE TURBO, GT2, AND GT3 CARS. *TR ODI 10509200 · 49,000 miI HAD A KNOWN ISSUE OF COOLANT LEAK WITH A HOSING/FITTING FAIL ON MY ENGINE. THE FITTING OR GLUE/EPOXY CAME LOSE CAUSING A MASSIVE LEAK OF COOLANT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AN EXTENSIVE DISTANCE FOR REPAIRS AND REPAIR WAS VERY COSTLY FOR A PART THAT WAS ONLY $300. TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, I HAD THE DEALER PIN THE FITTINGS SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T COME LOSE AGAIN. FOR A CAR WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES AND THE NUMBER OF FOLKS HAVING THIS ISSUE, I WANTED TO SUBMIT MY CLAIM. THE FOLLOWING IS THE PART THAT FAILED 997-106-039-72 AS WATER NE… |

ODI 10547074 · 48,000 miMY CAR BEGAN LEAKING COOLANT. AFTER TOWING MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP I WAS TOLD MY METAL COOLANT FITTINGS ARE HELD IN WITH EPOXY AND ONE OF THEM HAD FAILED. TO REPAIR THIS IS A $6000.00 JOB. AFTER CALLING THE DEALER I FOUND OUT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM BUT THAT PORSCHE IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP THE CAR OWNERS PAY FOR IT AT THIS TIME. I THINK ANY TIME YOU HAVE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS THAT EXPENSIVE TO FIX YOU SHOULD AT HELP A LITTLE WITH THAT PROBLEM. *TR |

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.

CLUTCH PADDLE WAS DEPRESS AND WILL NOT RETURN FULLY. FEW DAYS LATER, CLUTCH PADDLE WOULD STAY PUT ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. CHECK OUT THE BLOG AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PREMATURE FAILURE FOR THIS TYPICAL MODEL HOWEVER, PORSCHE DIDN'T SELL ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO GET ON BOARD WITH THE COMPLAINT. *TR |

THE RATE OF THIS LEAK WAS SLOW AND WOULD HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL HOURS TO COMPLETELY DRAIN THE COOLANT FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THIS ISSUE. ON 03/29/13 ( W/ APPROX 54K MILES) MY PREGNANT WIFE AND I WERE A FEW MILES FROM ENTERING THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR BEGIN TO LEAK COOLANT VERY RAPIDLY.

AMAZING THAT A CAR THIS EXPENSIVE WOULD HAVE SUCH A POORLY THOUGHT OUT PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I WILL TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR ESTIMATES BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT AN ENGINE REMOVAL IS REQUIRED AND ALL COOLANT FIXTURES NEED TO BE WELDED.
