Understanding the Coolant Pipe Issue:

Several high-performance Porsche models, though well-regarded for their impressive capabilities have a known design flaw in their coolant pipe systems. The coolant pipes, initially secured into the engine block with adhesive, are susceptible to detachment due to adhesive failure, which can occur over time under the engine's intense heat conditions. This detachment can cause a rapid loss of coolant, which, if not immediately attended to, can lead to significant engine damage.

The Porsche models that are most affected by this issue include:

  • Porsche 911 (996 Series) Turbo, GT2, GT3, and GT3 RS

  • Porsche 911 (997.1 Series) Turbo, GT3, and GT3 RS

  • Porsche 911 (997.2 Series) GT3 and GT3 RS

However, it's important to clarify that the 997.2 Series Porsche 911 Turbo uses a different engine design and, therefore, is not affected by this coolant pipe issue.

Our Solution: Billet Coolant Pipe Fittings from BBi Autosport:

To effectively address this notorious coolant pipe issue in Porsches, Murtha Motorsports employs a robust solution: replacing the factory coolant fittings with billet coolant pipe fittings sourced from our trusted partners at BBi Autosport.

Our meticulous Porsche repair process involves initially disassembling the necessary parts and sending the housings to BBi Autosport. There, the team of highly skilled professionals removes the factory coolant fittings, cleans the housings in an ultrasonic cleaner, and expertly welds the new billet fittings into place. After installation, the units undergo a thorough pressure test to detect and rule out any leaks, thereby ensuring the integrity and reliability of the fittings. Once these steps are completed, BBi Autosport sends the units back to us for reinstallation into your Porsche.
