Blew a coolant pipe?
|
Yep, was wot passing two semi trucks hit road debris Then they passed me. |
Sorry to hear that happened. Do you know which one blew? Some of them can be repaired without removing the engine. |

welcome - come on in, the water is warm
|
bummer. sorry to hear.
|
I’ll take a closer look, if it’s one of the more accessible ones I’m just going to JB weld it in. Nearest Porsche Indy is 200 miles away. For or those that have jb welded can you please offer some tips. Also is JB Weld only applied to hose after it’s inserted or do you apply then push back in? |

I’ll pull the air box and y pipe later today to see if I can see which one popped. As I understand it all but one or two can be fixed with engine in. Fingers crossed I get an easy one. let’s say it’s an easy one, will I have to flush remaining coolant before I fill up with new coolant? |
A full coolant flush depend on you. I would just top it up.
|
I believe when you jb weld it you apply jb on both sides and insert and turn to get mechanical lock. I recall seeing this on a DIY video on the coolant pipes.
|
gt3 bacically the same...
|
Can you pin every coolant line from the top on a 996 turbo without dropping the engine? From the video, it looks like the 996 GT3 you can.
