I have a cooling leak near the read of the car on the drivers side. A previous poster posted a picture of it.

it is just above the steel line.
I can't see a part number and do not know where it goes. Porsche told me it's difficult to determine which hose it is based on the shop diagrams.
The earliest appointment I can get is end of June. I want to at least order it before then or do it myself if the other end is accessible.
Thanks for any help.

I hope this helps, easy fix, drain the liquid from below, remove the air box, and replace it

 

Hi. Thanks alot for this. Ordered the part. In stock in Canada.
now, just need to figure out how to get the airbox off. Any special security torx tools needed?

Air box looks easy.

Yes , easy, remove the Y pipe, disconnect the hoses and MAF connections from the box, lift it,
it is a 5 minutes job

 

Well, all went easy except it still leaks. When I first changed the hose it seemed ok. However when the car heated up, the leak came back!
I tried tightening it more, changed the clamp and tightened it really right and it seems to get worse!
I'm sure it's cing from the water pump fitting, I can see it come out!
It's as if the fitting itself has become pourous.
Suggestions?
Thanks

 

I use a product called Hylomar (though I think they re-branded it). It's a blue tacky coating to use on coolant line connections. I used it primarily for silicone aftermarket lines on other engines, but I never had any leaks.

Other than the coolant pipe issue, I have never heard of any problems with the WP and it's fittings.

In that case, if I were you, I would change the water pump and the belt.
Did you change the belt recently? , It is known that the water pump deals not well with a new belt due to the new tension.

 

Yes I have an appointment to change the pump and belt .
beyond my pay grade ..
