My TX2K12 is over early. :(
I was able to run about 8-10 laps at MSR Houston today when I blew a coolant hose. Most likely its the same one everyone else eventually blows sooner or later.
I will be ready for the Texas Mile next week hopefully.

hope she'll be ready. You should be glad that it happened now instead of during the Mile.

Less than two hours after blowing this coolant line, Steve has found the problem and will be dropping the motor and welding everything in soon. That's what I call service.

. Video to come later.I was in the middle of a long straight away in third gear I believe. No warning, just POP and then white mist.
sucks man! suprised these wern't welded when you got the car. it was def a no-expense spared build. maybe they just forgot about these things. i still cant believe porsche glued them in on a $130k car.

Sorry about the misfortune! I wanted to be at TX2K since I live in TX but on vacation now. As I'm still rather new to these cars, it looks like a common issue. Does this problem affect all 996TTs or just certain years? Is there a preventative measure people take or most just wait out the inevitable?
