Coolant lines
How important is it to have coolant lines pinned on a 60k 2001 996 turbo. Owner does not know if they where pinned prior to purchasing car from RAC Performance. He has owned for 6 years. Any suggestions?

It's about $3000 important.

Must do. I had one blow out luckily in my neighborhood. I jury rigged my fix as it was accessible but plan to drop motor and do them all so I can track it. Most tracks require it.

Sadly, they should require it. I'd be maddd if someone blew coolant out on the track due to this and wasted a good part of the day. It really is a huge screw up by Porsche. I had a few where the glue was nearly dust.

Mine blew years ago on a 2001tt mostly stock. What a mess!

230,000 km. Not pinned. Checked them out when the engine was out for a new clutch - everything looked good. I'm not tracking much though. I have no intention of pinning unless I find one that isn't tight anymore. (Just thought I'd chime in to show the other option)
