folks - quick update. i don't have the car back from the service department yet. long story as to why (i won't post here to protect the innocent/guilty), but needless to say i am very disappointed. just to recap - car was delivered to me on 11/25/2020, developed the coolant leak on 11/26/2020 (thanksgiving!), and got to the shop on 11/27/2020. they expect to get the car back to me on monday (12/07/2020) or tuesday (12/08/2020).

Arun you should tell us, we are a lot less expensive than your Therapist, and will actually listen to you vs your wife.

the repair is taking much longer than i expected. i suspect current events (coronavirus, etc.) are partly/mostly to blame. i was just expecting to start enjoying the car sooner, but i am over it now

Just letting you guys know that my brand new 2021 992 (C2S) was leaking coolant after 30 miles. In shop now. Frustrating. It was ordered in early July, stuck in Rhode Island for 3 moths due to carb delay, took delivery at dealer 12/18 but went straight to detailer for 3 weeks. Had the car for 2 days and now this. Was at the dealer yesterday getting a run down on car and i noticed pink fluid on ground on left side of rear of car. They put it on lift and will have service manager look at it on Monday. Will keep group posted. I'm new to rennlist. This is my 1st post.

Had exactly same thing happen to me two days after I got my car (although coolant spill was probably on day 1 - just never noticed it until a day or two after - turned out to be an overfill by the Porsche mechanic prior to PPI and first real drive that took coolant to 200 degrees or so led to over spill. Has not happened since. Also landed up flat bedding it to dealer and lost a whole precious day of Porsche driving !!!!! I did post a thread.
I would not be overly concerned although I hope that the dealers will start paying attention to this issue.
