An afternoon on Redwood Rd
Out with my good friend in the TTs just east of Oakland enjoying the twisties then he loses a clamp on a coolant hose or the water pump. Bummer

I live a block off Skyline and run Redwood and the rest all the time..... great roads.

Sure its not the dreaded coolant pipe issue
|
Yup, this is my car. I will let everyone know of it's outcome. It's being looked at by Pacific Power Motorsports this morning. There was not a big puddle under the car so I'm hoping it's not serious.
On a side note, I was talking to the towing company employee and he mentioned that they rarely tow Porsche's. An occasional Cayenne, but seldom a 911. Mercedes and BMWs all the time. He said from his viewpoint, if you want a luxury car, get a Porsche or Lexus. Good to know, but for now "how's that working out for you"! Still love my car. |

Porsche + Lexus is right up my alley, I just scooped a '12 LS460 F-Sport from my local BMW dealer, they took it in on trade & had no idea how rare it was... https://i65.tinypic.com/aysi9y.jpg |
one of my favorite roads.
And big thumbs up to Eric and the crew at PPM! |
Well PPM took a look at my car and thank goodness it's only a coolant hose! And no engine damage as I shut down the car immediately. Apparently there are a couple of hoses that are susceptible to this as they are exposed to more engine heat. Eric will be replacing the second hose as a precautionary measure as I do not know how old my hoses are. We agreed that the best plan would be to go on a preventive action plan and evaluate potentially changing out other coolant hoses at routine maintenance intervals. Thank you again Eric for your help!
