The problem with my 2007 porsche turbo is that when I go to fill up gas the tank will not fill pass 2/3 of the tank. The problem happens most of the times that I fill up gas and porsche has told me that there is no fix to the problem. I am sure that it is not only my car that has this problem as I have searched on the internet and have found others with similar issues. Out of the many times I have taken the vehicle in for service one time they change the gas tank and relating parts but it did not fix the issue.
I approached my porsche 911 turbo in my garage and noticed a slight bit of liquid with a pink hue (coolant) that had appeared to have leaked from under my car. I looked at the coolant reservoir which was ~1.5-2 inches below the max fill line. I decided to take it to new german performance to get checked out. I called and confirmed they had an availability. I turned on my car and shortly there after a warning popped up stating "check coolant". The drive was roughly 20 miles.
Coolant leaking from a flange on top of the engine (rear engined car) caused rear tires to get wet and lose grip while driving on the street. Porsche dealer fixed the problem under warranty. Apparently this is a common issue with 2002-2012 porsche turbo, gt2, and gt3 cars.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 porsche 911 turbo. The contact stated that antifreeze leaked into the engine and the entire under-carriage. The vehicle had neither been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000. ..updated 08-07-13 the consumer stated the loss of engine coolant was leaking onto the rears tires, causing loss of traction.
I would like to report that my vehicle has suffered a common reported incident related to the coolant hoses. The vehicles coolant hoses are leaking. It appears they only had adhesive and are not threaded causing them to leak. It appears very common and is a high risk as it can rupture during the drive.
