Porsche 911 Turbo owners have reported 2 problems related to engine overheat (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have been informed by my Porsche technician that Porsche used an inferior and mechanically poor design for the engine coolant lines. They are glued together in a place where they get hot. After several heat cycles, they will fail. All cars with this engine design will have this failure over time. If the coolant lines fail whils the car is moving, the slick coolant can get on the tires and cause an accident. Also, the engine can overheat with a replacement cost of over $20,000. Porsche is aware of this, as they have used a superior threaded design on their race cars with this engine. I have been advised that this will take thousands of dollars to fix, and the car will be out of service for weeks.
