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.

WE have tracked the water leak down to coming from or around the Water Cooler on top of the Engine
What Water pipes are around the Cooler and does Water flow through the Oil Cooler from the Engine
Does anybody have a flow diagram
Thanks
So recovered car from Aberdyfi to Wolverhampton Porsche (160.00) Tuesday
Turns out its not the Oil Cooler (Which is under warranty from Porsche ) but the supply pipe - which is what I said in the first place
Porsche are going to fix it (And another pipe) at about 200.00
If Wynn had spotted that it was the pipes he could have done it probably cheaper and I could have avoided recovery of 160.00
Probably collected by now
But if Porsche Wolverhampton had told me a replacement Oil Cooler FITTED was 405.00 and labour charges where 60.00 per hour I would not have taken it away
and they could have fixed it while I was on holiday
WHAT A COCK UP! and waste of money
no wonder I always do my own work where possible but this work is not possible without a lift
Impressed with Porsche Wolverhampton but just wish they had given me a range of possible costs
If they had told me 400 for a oil cooler, 200 for a pipe and 2 grand for a head at least I would have known
Would have left it there over my holiday in Lincoln and saved taking it down to Aberdyfi !
Called there today to drop off another 5 litres of Coolant to match what is already in there (and in bottles in back of car) ,
Nearly ready for Coolant they will bleed it tonight hopefully ready to collect tomorrow
Lets see
At least Ive got a decnt guarantee if it goes wrong
And Wrong it went!!
Picked the car up really good price.
Got 25.00 of petrol 1 mile down the road
Then drove back to M54, Next Junction stopped at Filling station and the car DUMPED all the Coolant (Probably another pipe)
I said it cant have been tested - they said it was
How can they say it was tested when within 10 minute drive a pipe failed surely if had had a proper pressure test it would have failed
Sure it will be sorted but its not acceptable
