3 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2009

I purchased my 2008 Porsche Cayenne turbo as a second owner but before the purchase was completed the coolant hose rupture failure occurred. The repair was at a cost well north of $2000 at the motor werks Porsche of barrington. I also have a 2002 Porsche 996 turbo which just recently ruptured the coolant hose. The cost is once again right around two thousand dollars. I'm just fed up that this epoxy failure within the coolant system which has affected so many Porsche owners. I'm very disappointed that this issue is not fixed even in their later models but very happy to find out that maybe something will arise with these complaints.
