Expansion Tank
Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2021 9:07 am
Hi all,
Yesterday the expansion tank full of coolant on my 2015 Turbo began leaking. Symptoms were a strong smell as the coolant evaporated rapidly on the engine/exhaust. The AA man arrived within 20 mins (car was thankfully back at my house) and did a pressure test. Sure enough, the nipple where the hose attaches had a hairline crack that squirted coolant under pressure. Big mess under the bonnet where the coolant had spilled.
The car was recovered this morning and taken to the dealer (under warranty/Porsche Assist) but as it's Christmas we'll not see it again until "well into the new year".
Is this a common fault?
