I had my front ones changed when the rads were replaced a couple of months ago and I think they had to drop the steering rack to renew one that passes over the top of it.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone had the coolant piping replaced on a 987 boxster or cayman? I got an advisory on my last service that there's coolant crust on the interconnects between the coolant pipes. They're rubber, so on a ten year old car would have started to deteriorate. Looking into it, seems like it's a £700 job at an indy as apparently it's quite fiddly and can take 3-4 hours. Has anyone had experience of this, or replacing themselves?

POST 2Original post

Which pipe is it specifcally? I had my front ones changed when the rads were replaced a couple of months ago and I think they had to drop the steering rack to renew one that passes over the top of it.

POST 3Original post

yeah depends on which one?, i had some pink crust on the long one going from the water pump to feed the raditors up front, so it cost 100 quid for alloy pipe from porsche and about 2 hours labour, its taking all the plastic covers off the underside of the car that takes an age, must have been 30-45 mins for off and on Edited by corvettedave on Tuesday 7th July 20:56

POST 4Original post

Hartech did mine just before I recently sold. Was approx £400 from memory. Depends which pipes need replacing as to the labour involved. I was told if the pipe over the steering rack needed replacing it would of been more expensive.

POST 5Original post

Have a look on boxa.net A couple of recent experience and helpful DIY notes and photos.

POST 6Original post
