I took the car for the drive to hear some of the rattles and next u know i have coolant on my window. I drive home look under the hood and it looked like the coolant sprayed every where. I check the coolant tank and now it is empty. I stick my finger in the coolant tank and i get some milky stuff out . I poor some more water and coolant in and it just sucks it down. What ways are there to tell if it has a blown head gasket. I swear if it has a blown head gasket i am selling to the highest bidder. I am sick of this piece of ****. Ya when it drives it is one of the fastest cars i have been in but it has gave me more problems then happiness.

Sorry about your bad luck, Daniel. You definitely are one angry man if you stooped to the level of calling your 951 a POS... Mine probably has a spun rod bearing, but, then again, it is an 18 year old car, with many miles, and I just have to accept my bad luck, even though I don't like it one bit. I know it is hard to love her when a 2-3K dollar looms, but I hope you won't part with her. Good luck with everything!

NPS - which one?
Daniel -
do a compression test
hopefully just the oil cooler seals (although I have no idea how coolant would be spraying everywhere)...
was it running hot?

daniel951

i don't even know if i am even going to get another pcar. If i do i am putting a LT1 or LS1 engine in it

i have about 10,000 invested in this POS

not including the car

Dump it and get a 993. No coolant to worry about.

i have some pics but they are to big. what do u do to it to get them smaller to post

daniel951

the thing that pisses me off so much is i just got done taking that whole dam engine out and fixing all the seals. I did balance shafts,slave cylinder,oil pump gasket, ran all new electrical wires and upgraded them, 24kt gold battery connectors,new cup clutch,all new bolts in cv joints,pressure plate bolts, new turbo, new chips,new oil pan gasket, new exhaust,reliaboost,valves, valves guides, All head work was done, New head gasket, New front seal, new exhaust, New rims and tires, new turbo water pump,shifter,had a new windshield done within 2 years, and the list goes on and on. I have done all of this work within the last year and out of that year i drove the car maybe 3 months. I can't take putting any more work or money into this car. If i fix these problems the car will still be for sale and even if i don't it will still be for sale.. If anyone is intersted contact me.

Hey alan, nice to see your are broadening your porsche-ism here at the bastard porsche forum!
Alan, most of these guys would buy a 993 in a second, if they could afford it. Of course to some, its not their cup of tea. remember, most of us are either not that wealty, or still young, and not working on their career yet, the latter being my situation.
Alan and I swaped rock chips this sunday morning following eachother, it was a good time! (except the rock chips, I feel like a criminal doing that to your beautiful blue paint!)

Daniel, the only way I think it could show on the window is if the heater core hoses blew. check those out too...if one was disconnected, I can see it spraying everywhere....

Just a thought....

Eyal 951

check under the oil cap and see if there is sludge there. do a compression test... it might just be your oil cooler seals, i had that problem.

Oil coolers are still a b*tch though....
