Once I replaced the hose and associated parts I replaced the missing coolant and bleed the lines as per the Porsche recommendations.

I went to put my 996 in the garage the other night and noticed a band of water on the ground underneath my car, this come as a surprise to me, as I am meticulous about my car and constantly check over it from top to bottom.

The majors where telling me it was a super-seeded part and now used a 997 part number.

you can come replace my coolant hoses when they split...
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hi all,
I am posting this to help out fellow 996 drivers, as there was no help when I was trying to resolve my small coolant issue.
I went to put my 996 in the garage the other night and noticed a band of water on the ground underneath my car, this come as a surprise to me, as I am meticulous about my car and constantly check over it from top to bottom.
After ensuring the car still had coolant in it I drove it into the garage and jacked it up to see if I could locate the coolant leak.
It took me 30 minutes to find the leak believe it or not, and I was happy to find that it was from a hose at the front of the engine on the right.
(Porsche water cooling parts 1
hose 23) Part Number 996.106.831.01
The next decision was what do I do? Do I remove it and drop coolant on the floor and be with out a car until I repair it, or do I tow the car to a P Car mech ??????
I decided to remove the air box to get a closer look and realised it would be an easy job. My Porsche is a Gen2 996 so I can't speak for the Gen 1 engines, Hose 23 on my engine had a hose clamp on the engine side and a quick release clip on the other end.
I removed both fittings and proceeded to drop coolant into a tub underneath the car.
The hose looked fine once I removed it but it had to be leaking somewhere. On a closer inspection of the quick release flange on the hose I noticed a hairline crack, and that was it I need to replace the hose!
The next day I spent the whole morning chasing the part number on the hose, for a replacement. The majors where telling me it was a super-seeded part and now used a 997 part number. The part would take 1 week to come from the motherland. ( I can't wait a week!!!@#$%)
I happened to ring an independent P-car specialist and thankfully had the new part the next day : ) .
The Old part
The new part
The new part required removing the flange off the oil pump and replacing it with a new quick release type. This is because the new hose has a quick release fitting at both ends. ( The new part is the same as what is used on a 997)
Once I replaced the hose and associated parts I replaced the missing coolant and bleed the lines as per the Porsche recommendations.
Yes Chris it is handy info,
In short I put this on the forum because when I had the problem with my leak, there was no info out there that mentioned that the original part ( hose )was no longer available. Everybody I rang kept saying the part was discontinued, and thats hard to comprehend when you need to get your car fixed ASAP.
But now, I must say I have some confidence in part upgrades. (as my part is a 997 part now).
Thanks

Thanks for the write up.
I sprung a leak at the top of Lake Mountain on the last Vic SMT. Thankfully, the leak was relatively minor and i was able to drive the car home. Turns out that my
996.106.831.01 hose also failed at the quick release fitting.
