I think this thread may have jinxed me.
Loaded my tools the other night to tow 500km north. Around 1.5 tonne all up. Aimed at leaving 1am.
Noticed she was dropping coolant while loading.
Pulled the expansion tank and found it cracked. Too late to ring the dealer for P+A.
Refitted and drive the 500km with the cap cracked so wouldn’t build too much pressure. No dramas
Porsche quoted me $400.
VW Touareg use the same part and they were $260 thru VW.
Or $70US plus 45 freight out of the states for a decent aftermarket one.
Went the VW out of convenience over the $100 saving from America.
Have put 7000km on it and it’s the first issue.
Ignoring the fuel consumption, it’s the best car I’ve owned or had to live with.
Will haul up the hills towing the big Benz quicker than what an over priced Thai special would empty
I’m now waiting on the next issue.
