    610 km...and first problem...

    Hi all

    I'm angry!!!!!!!!

    Yesterday at 12,00 AM (when all workshops are closed) arrived at home,i discovered that my car loss "liquid"...

    Fortunately the leak is begin from a few...the liquid(cool liquid) is again between min and max...
    The risk was that if i don't realize the liquid leak my engine can burn out....

    The leak is under the car center/right side near the exhaust...

    Now my problem is that tomorrow we must put the car on a truck......but is difficult to find a truck that can charge a low car... i don't whant that the truck scrapes my front bumper...

    Now i post some pics of the parts that leaks liquid....

    Sorry to hear that, Dario

    Difficult to say if it will be an easy repair or not. If you tell me exactly what's wrong (your dealer might have already done an anylysis), I could tell you aprox. how long it would take to repair it.
    It is always like that with the 996 Turbo: if there is a problem, it occurs during the first 10000-15000 km. Afterwards, problems are pretty seldom. I know this doesn't help much with your problem but maybe it comforts you a little bit for the future.

    In the pic, the liquid appears to be green, no?

    That would indicate that it's coolant.

    Dario...

    ...you should have asked your dealer to check all other engine parts to be sure they're not loose too. Maybe he can do that on your next visit.

    Re: Dario...

    yes..i've asked a lot of thing,the have changed also a belt becouse the steering oil have oiled the belt.....now i've 680 km on the car and near 3000km the must do a visit on the car,they must control all...

    for the parts that caused the problem,and they said that the Porsche operator has not used the loctite on the muffler's nuts...

    Now i hope that there are no more problems..
