What 2005 Porsche 911 GT3 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Engine coolant leak LED to complete upgrade of all engine coolant fittings due to widely known problem with catastrophic engine coolant loss from sudden dislodgement of coolant fittings from engine. I have seen no fewer than three other identical models suffer such coolant loss while at speed. My repairs were done to prevent a potentially dangerous and/or costly incident from this design flaw.
