Windymiller Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Close call - good to have caught them before they totally failed and left you roadside without coolant! 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porschaholic Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I’ve heard this is a common problem. I’ve got mine booked in for replacements in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start leaking almost without exception around the 10year point - damn clever engineering from Porsche that to get such failure rate consistency across a whole model range… 🙄 A ‘typical’ replacement cost from an Indy should be around £650 for total refit of all front crossover pipes and hoses, incl. re geo after dropping sub frame to access the pipes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spykee Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Mine were in a similar condition to yours when I had them replaced last year. My specialist said that I hold the record for the most deteriorated pipes that still held coolant! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on Facebook there's a South Wales Porsche Owners group where I've arranged a coffee and cars next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
