| A coolant hose press fitting which is apparently glued into the engine block lost adhesion and disconnected. this resulted in a complete loss of coolant and a corresponding loss of control due to hot, slippery coolant coating the rear wheels of the car and road surface. car spun and left the road but fortunately did not hit anything and coolant spill did not impact any other motorists. my research indicates that this is a common, systemic problem with this model engine and appears to be a dangerous defect in the engine construction. *tr | |||

| Driving a 2007 porsche gt3 when a hose fitting came loose from the engine block causing a catastrophic loss of coolant from the engine. the failure can occur multiple times i have been told by other owners of 996 and 997 model porsche 911 model variants. occurs in all models (carrera, turbo, gt3, gt3rs) as noted here: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/showthread.php?t=592328&goto=newpost. consequences are dumping of antifreeze on the roadway which has a potential to cause an accident. my car was fixed by porsche under warranty. porsche replaced fittings in the block which were epoxied in as were the original fittings. a more permanent solution should be required, such as welding or pinning of the fittings into the engine case. old parts are not available as porsche will not turn over any parts replaced under warranty. | |||

| Vehicle had complete loss of control due to a cooling system fitting coming unglued from the engine block. the coolant fitting is press fitted into place using an adhesive that failed. the entire contents of the cooling system released onto the rear tires causing a loss of control. | |||

| Coolant fitting adhesive failed, spraying coolant on rear tires, which caused the vehicle to lose control. fitting was replaced under warranty with the same problematic adhesive. multiple failures have been noted in porsche forums and a recently published article in a global magazine noted this issue has been around for several years with this engine type, with no resolution from porsche. | |||
