God,,, I'm banging myself on the table by not knowing the potential "plastic/rubber coolant pipe failure" on the 2006 Porsche Cayenne.

I should have known better, but unfortunately this was the only item that went over my head when I was in the market for SUV.

I know there is not a perfect car on the road, but things like this, fundamental design flaw or wrong material being used to manufacture this high performance SUV,,, really pisses me off.

Especially the mind set of Porsche is disgusting me. It almost seems like they intentionally made these well known flaws to collect $$$ after Cayenne owners w/o factory warranty.
(if not, they should at least offer to replace these faulty parts before the owners of Cayenne get stuck on the road due to the coolant pipe issue.)

How funny, now I'm wishing my coolant pipes to burst before the factory warranty expires, what a comfy feeling when driving my CS. And hopefully it happens right in front of the Porsche dealer.

 

I thought '06 Cayennes had the aluminum pipes... Correct my if I'm wrong..

 

Yeah, that's what I thought too, but unfortunately one of the new 06 CS owner here caught "coolant light" on the dash before cutting the purchase order. I'm very happy for him.

By the way, mine was built in Oct of 06, still has 17 months of factory warranty; I'm gonna attend church every Sunday to pray God to burst my coolant pipes how ridiculous.


I would appreciate if anyone can confirm which month/year of Cayenne is affected by this epidemic of coolant hose.
My local P-dealer service advisers advised me that they can't tell 'til open up and see.
