Just to gather some data, (or it could be completely random).

Anways, please choose the (approx.) mileage range when the cheapo plastic coolant pipes gave up on you.

 

not the pipe but coolant tank had a leak at 35K miles. on '04 CTT..

 

So here is another question to throw out to those of you who got these cheapo plastic pipes replaced under the warranty.

I saw there are 2 new upgraded components to replace all coolant pipes;
1 big plastic pipe <-> 1 big aluminum pipe
3 smaller plastic pipes <-> 1 molded together 3 aluminum pipes
, which Porsche should have gone that route from get go.

Anyways, now I'm wondering, with Porsche's cheapo *** mind (I started to have this equation in my head Porsche == VW hahahaha), less than expected moral business tactics; I'm started to wonder if they are going to replace all coolant pipes under the factory warranty even if 1 plastic pipe fails or.....
For example, let's just say 1 big plastic pipe fails, are they just gonna replace that part only under the factory warranty service since other 3 smaller plastic pipes haven't yet failed?

This is sorta weird, since I have never gone this route before, but I think I'm gonna spend my own $$$ to fix this problem (which will save my *** getting stuck on the road due to these cheapo plastic coolant pipe failures, how embarrassing!), while my Porsche is still under factory warranty.

So, for those of you who had the warranty service on this issue, could you please confirm whether the P-dealer actually replaced all plastic coolant pipes or just the ones that went south?

Thanks in advance!

 

All pipes were replaced on mine under CPO warranty with the cast aluminum ones.

 

I got mine done last month on my 03 CPO CS. I had about 70,000 miles.

 

just passed 50,000 miles and no dramas yet, unless they were replaced before i got her around the 35,000 point, ? but there is no record of it.

 

Only 7 responses? And I thought cooling tubes were a more prevalant problem...hmmmm. LOL
